It was bound to happen…

As my body grows and grows and grows (mostly the torso area, thank God!), things are becoming a bit more difficult to do. For example, sleeping is such a task because I just can’t get comfortable so it takes hours to fall asleep…and it doesn’t help when you have nightmares about ground human meat…let’s not talk about that though. But my hands and ankles swell up leaving me sore. I was hoping my hands wouldn’t swell enough to make me remove my wedding band, but alas just a few nights ago I removed my white gold band (with lots & lots of lotion and tugging at it) for the remainder of these blessed months.
On Wendesday morning I got a phone call from my doctor’s office telling me how my glucose test was just fine but my iron was low, so I would have to come in for more blood work & to pick up a prescription for my iron pills. I drive to my doctor’s office, give 5 tube things of blood (5!!! vampires i tell ya!!) and pick up my prescription. No problemo I thought I’d have a harder time but I was in & out. Thank goodness for quick visits! I still had to run a bunch of errands through the day but that easy visit brought a smile to my face! Well I have things to do, everyone have a wonderful & safe weekend!

Oh man, I remember the swelling! Honestly, I still can’t wear my wedding rings to bed or in the shower, because I’ll still swell.
Just wait for the fun things pregnancy does to you after you have the baby

The only swelling I’ve had is my belly and boobs (I’m 30 weeks). My glucose test has just come back ok but I also have low iron and was prescribed iron tablets. Just prepare yourself for the constipation (and jet black poop!)
I have trouble sleeping too but I found that last night, after sleeping top and tail with my husband, I got a much better sleep. Something to consider maybe?
