Man, I can offically say I’ve got pregnancy symptoms! My ankles were swollen to the size of cantalopes last night and my feet weren’t any better. Jason always teases me that my feet look like Barney Rubble’s feet (he calls them “Barney Rubs”). I hate to admit it but they truly were living up to that name last night. I am having the same feet/ankle swelling today, too. I think that’s just going to be part of it for the next few months.
I’ve also had swelling in my fingers and hands and I’ve been having the occassional bout of heart burn. I am also starting to feel really tired again. I feel asleep on the couch at 6pm tonight. I slept for about an hour until the phone rang and woke me up. I go in on the 17th for mandatory diabetes testing, the doctor said she would also check my blood for antyhing else that might be contributing to my fatigue, like anemia. Chances are it’s just a result of the pregancy itself combined with the extra stress that’s been going on lately. We’ll see….
