It's official.. I can no longer see my ankle bones..

It's seems like all of a sudden over night all the extra weight I gained landed in my legs and feet.. I feel like I have sausage legs. I couldn't even put closed toe shoes on this morning! Thankfully it's nice enough weather that I can get away with flip flops.

    I am just thankful that I have a winter pregnancy so I dont have to wear shorts and skirts....I would hate to subject everyone to a view of my fat legs/ankles/feet.

    haha...oh yes...been there!  My husband laughs at me because every night i will press into my ankle and look at the indentation it leaves.  The indent doesn't go away for like 45 seconds!  Crazy water retention!!

    Oh sure rub it in California girl!! lol It's freezing in NY so I can't rock the flip flop but I'm sporting some nice cankles under my pants!!!

    My doctor told me today that I should increase my water intake, (like I'm not drowning myself with the stuff already) do some yoga or stretch before bedtime. Supposedly that should help with the circulation a little.

    I'm getting ready to go to Wisconsin next week, so I won't have the luxury of flip flops anymore. I'll have to see if my UGGS are gonna fit me.. I'll have to try to stretching and the water increase.. although I pee enough as it is...but if it'll help, I'll try it.

    please PLEASE watch your swelling. I suddenly started swelling and gained a whopping 13 lbs in 2 weeks (normal was 1-2 lbs). I was diagnosed w/ Pre-e yesterday. Had I not taken my blood pressure I would have never gone to the hospital.
