Winding down now

The last two days have been interesting for my body. I've swollen up like a sponge in the bathtub. I had been experiencing "end of the day" swelling, but now it isn't going away and it's noticeable 24 hours. Last night I had to sleep with my rings off, they were actually hurting me. Even my cheeks look puffier. And my right shoulder is bothering me, but that is probably just from stress.

I have an appointment on Friday and I'm sure they'll take notice of everything, but I'll also mention it. I know swelling during pregnancy is normal, so I'm sure it's not a big deal. It's just uncomfortable. I wish I weren't gaining weight like I am, that wold probably help, but in all honesty I don't feel my eating habits have changed that much during the pregnancy. I don't feel I'm over indulging. It's hard though I mean there have been birthdays and then with the baby shower, I mean all the food is so yummy. I'm drinking plenty of water which is supposed to help with the swelling by keeping your sodium levels down. Who knows!?

We're in the last month and a half of the pregnancy now that April 1st has come upon us. There are 44 days left until my due date.
