The more the baby drops, the more I swell up!!

I really had this swelling thing under control for the longest time, but yesterday, I pulled up my pants leg to scratch an itch and I was able to put a fingerprint mark in the swollen part of my ankles!!!! It doesn't hurt or anything, it just looks absolutely awful. And I woke up this morning with my ankles back to normal, but my feet were still a little puffy. Before I knew, not even 30 minutes later, my ankles were swollen. WTH!!???
I remember the NP in my OB's office say that the more the baby drops, the more pressure we're putting on our lower extremeties..... he must've just dropped a TON then. Yikes.

I cannot WAIT till all of this water flushes out of our systems and gets us back to normal!!!

Yes! I was hardly swelling at all, but today had to take off my wedding ring. I've never had it off for longer than it takes to clean it in 7 years.

YEP! I can only wear my band - not my engagement ring. Not cool.

Yeah, I had to do that with my first pregnancy, but not my actual band. Oy. Oh well...it's temporary, right?

LOL - I'm not laughing at what you just wrote, but your new siggy!!! I think we are in the same mindset. I'm SOOOOOOOO tired of everyone asking or saying "hey, you're still here (at work)" or "wow, I bet you just feel miserable right now (my own damn MIL)" Grrrrrrrr.....
