A Small Scare Today (But All Is Well)

Hi Everyone!

So I went over to my mom's this morning, and she took a look at my ankles, which have been swollen since my shower on Saturday, and asked me to call my doctor right away. (She's a nurse, so her recommendations have extra weight.) 

I called my doctor, and they asked me to come in to be looked at in a few hours.

So of course my mind goes to the worst possible place...pre-eclampsia, hospitalization, a forced early birth, etc. I get scared so easily with this pregnancy.

BUT, I went to the doctor and my blood pressure is OK, no protein in my urine, my weight is OK so they think I'm fine. They just asked me to stay off my feet for a while, try to eat as little salt as possible, and drink water with lemons and cucumbers, all of which are supposed to help with the swelling.

***Big sigh.***

I will say, though, that I am feeling differently this week. A lot more tired. Hard to breath. Hard to move when I'm laying down (like switching from one side to the other).

I've just got to take it day by day. And tell myself millions of women have done this before me...I can do it too...

XOXO
