Anyway, instead of going on and on about my bloated feet… the exciting news is… No more socks, no more commutes, no more case notes, no more forgetting my lunch at home, no more hair dryers… I’M ON MATERNITY LEAVE!!!! Hooray! I never thought this day would come, and here it is in all it’s glory. I thought I’d get that feeling when I left work, like the last day of school- when you just want to jump up and click your heals, and pump your fist towards the bright blue endless sky. It wasn’t quite like that. Instead I felt sick, sleep deprived, achy, and overly emotional. I’m feeling overwhelmed about being a mother soon, being pregnant still, and other such things. It’s hard to fathom all of the changes that are coming… and most of all, I think I just need some sleep.
So with that, I bid you all farewell, and good night!
Oh man! Looks like my ankles did. Though mine looked more kankley than yours. I will never forget the first time I noticed them while sitting in the tub. I may have cried. My hands and wrists got so swollen that they ached horribly and Ihad to wear wrist braces to bed. Good news, is that within about 5-10 days after giving birth, I started peeing and sweating like a mother and lost all that water!! Woo hoo! So excited for you that you're almost there. = D
That is good news Rachel! Thanks! Can't wait.
