This pregnancy is much harder than I expected. Okay, it's still a cake walk, but I'm finally getting normal pregnancy symptoms (acid reflux, water retention, etc) that are NOT fun. I am at least very thankful that even though I'm due in July (crazy hot summer month) we've had a VERY mild summer so far. We'll pay for it later I'm sure, but at least then I won't be 9 month pregnant (I'm so selfish sometimes).
Yesterday I choose to put myself on bed rest. After walking around and trying to get a bunch of things done over the last 2 days my feet turned into these creepy, puffy, sausage looking things. Not pretty, not comfortable, and very difficult to walk around. It wasn't so bad for a day. I slept in, gathered a few things to entertain myself (books, tv remote, etc) and parked it on the couch with my feet up. Not horrible, but not fun. Bed rest would suck (I sympathize with everyone who's been put on it-unless they have a laptop, that would make it better). I only did it for a day and it seemed to help, but it was not so much fun. Hopefully my feet stay only slightly puffy after this so I don't have to do it again. My doctor told me I need to be careful with the heat coming on and making sure I don't let my feet get too swollen.
