swollen & miserable (vent)

So anyone else have seriously swollen ankles and feet?? This is strange for me, it didn't happen with my girls. I have been very busy today, but even after a shower and laying down for an hour they are still swollen. I feel swollen everywhere, even my lips feel swollen! I feel like I am in someone else's body. 

And the worst part is that everyone that sees me, Mom, gmom, aunt, hubby, cousin, they all say "Oh your gonna go soon". While I know thats not true, it makes hopeful, and its kinda depressing me. 

Anyone else feel like me??

    I feel you. It sucks. My feet and ankles are so swollen that I am getting creases in them from standing. Wish I had advice but nothing makes me better.

    I could tell that my toes were swollen, but I thought it was just because of the toe I broke the other day (as if walking wasn't already a challenge!).  I went to scratch my ankle about an hour ago, and realized that I no longer have ankles... just seriously sexy cankles.  Awesome.  

     This is one of those times where I wish I could just take an Advil to get rid of the swelling, but obviously that's on the no-no list.  I heard the other day that drinking tonnes of water reduces some of the swelling as it's most likely caused by water retention.  But I'm afraid that that will make me pee more... JEEZ!
