"I feel like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!"

Well, my smooth-going 9th month of pregnancy was put to a hault yesterday when I started to notice some swelling. After working out, I realized my feet and ankles looked bigger. I went out to eat with some girlfriends and was getting really uncomfortable at the dinner table. When I got home and put my feet up, my ankles looked even bigger than before! My right ankle especially was nearly twice as big as my left. I woke up this morning hoping for the poofiness would have disappeared-NOPE. They looked exactly the same. I made sure to wear my widest flat shoes possible and waddled my way into work. I was so uncomfortable all day at work!! I tried to avoid complaining, but the swelling was actually causing a lot of pain. I can best describe it as walking on pins and needles. Not even walking. The pain occurred even sitting. My ankles are sore to the touch and keep getting bigger! I was trying my best to put my feet up at work, but it's nearly impossible the way our desks are set up. I was straining my back by twisting in a position where I could put my feet up slightly but still type and see my monitor. =( I don't know what I'm going to do for the next 2 or 3 weeks of work if this swelling continues. I may just have to arrange some sort of working from home situation. When I got home today, I was exhausted. I put my feet up immediately and they were huge! I told Justin, "I don't even recognize my own feet!!" He agreed. They look like elephant feet. I would post a picture, but I'm too embarrassed. I went to bed at 6:30 for 2 1/2 hours because the bed was the only comfortable place. I'm back up now, sitting on the couch, but all I can feel is my feet pulsing. I remembered that cranberry juice is a natural diuretic, so I'm chugging some of that right now. Ugh...now when people ask, "are you ready for that baby to come out yet?" I'm going to say "yes!"
