yeah so the only interesting thing is my non existant ankles

I don't really have anything interesting to report.
Besides the fact that I no longer fit into any shoes;
sandals and flip flops only.
My feet are swollen sausages.
All the RN's and MD's I work with have been sure to check my blood pressure and someone suggested parsley tea.
So I made parsley tea.
And have been drinking it (a couple pint glasses a day).
But I'm still retaining water.
But at each midwifery appointment, my urine does not have protein so another ok sign. (Besides the edema, high blood pressure and protein in the urine can indicate pre-eclampsia, for those who were wondering).
At any rate, I'm doing ok. Dragging a bit more at work. I'm easily tired.
I find sleeping has been more difficult for me; I'm not sure if it's getting up three times at night to go to the bathroom or the 3 minutes it
takes me to get re-positioned when rolling over....either way, I have not been getting the best sleep....but I've been told that it's supposed to make you "ready" for when the baby is here and feeding every 2-3 hours. Grrrreat.
