All I want for Christmas is.........

To see my ankle bones again!!! OMG I have never had cankles (when there's no distinction between your calves & ankles) like I do now, nor do I like them!!! My toes look like little vienna weenies to match...I'm getting a pedicure this week, so atleast they will look like cute weenies. Oh, and I have pitting edema, which means when you push down on the area, it leaves an indention. Not cool! My calves & legs have also been swelling on the days I work. Here's the proof, but this really doesn't show how bad they are.......I promise there are bones under all that! I went to the doctor Friday & he got to experience the cankles first hand & got a good laugh out of it! Anyway, my BP was fine, but there was a very small amout of protein in my urine, so I got the "take it easy for a week"....that means no work! "Seriously???" I am supposed to keep my feet up as much as possible, but I'm not on total bedrest thank goodness! I was not dilated at all, which is a bummer. I go back to see him this Friday, so we'll see what happens then?

My work friends threw a very sweet shower for us Friday. After my appointment, it was definitely what I needed....cake & gifts! :) I really can't tell you how sweet it was of them to do this, especially since I've only known these people for about 6 months! They were super sweet & very generous. I have really made some great friends here & can't tell you how much I appreciate their thoughtfulness.

Last thing.....we found out this week that our Maggie is also pregnant!!!! We got the confirmation U/S on Tuesday & know there are atleast 4 little bulldogs in there! And guess when her c-section is??????? Dec. 12th!! Yep, 4 days after my due date we are having puppies! They should be ready for their new homes right around Valentine's so tell all your friends!! Thank goodness our friend Mandy is going to take them for the first month or so!
