So I'm 27 weeks now and the first few pregnancy things are starting to happen. Last night I noticed a pinchy feeling on my ankle so I looked down and my sock was leaving a very large imprint in my leg and my ankle had pretty much disapeared. This is the first swelling of any kind that I've noticed so I was surprised. I've had a very busy week at work and have been on my feet non-stop so I think that has a lot to do with it. I thought it might be gone this morning after a night of rest and it was much better but by no means gone. I'm trying to keep my feet up at my desk today and I'm drinking tons of water, hopefully all that helps.
I'm having some family drama too. It's a really long story but the gist of it is that my sister wants my mom to fly to her place for my nieces 1st birthday which happens to fall right about the time my baby will be 2-3 weeks old. My mom is supposed to be helping me out with the baby. When my sister had her kids my mom and dad moved down to her place (the other side of the province) for 2 months. My mom also moved down to live with my sister for 6 months when she went back to work one year after her first was born. I was so upset hearing that my mom and dad were thinking about leaving me 2 weeks after I have my first baby and right about the time I will have to return to work that I barely slept last night. So I kinda chewed my sister out about it today and she called my mom and told her I'm upset so my mom called me at lunch today and said she promises not to go. I don't want to sound spoiled but after all we've been through to get here I just think I deserve the same help that my sister was given, it's finally my turn!

Congrats on 27 weeks!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the world of cankles. DH's socks don't even fit around the ankles! It's pretty hilarious. One of my feet is three sizes bigger than usual and the other is about 1.5 sizes bigger. I've been wearing winter boots - 2 sizes larger than usual - at work all day long!
And NO KIDDING it's your turn. I'd be annoyed if my mom even THOUGHT about leaving that early if she'd spent that much time with my sister and her new baby!
