The Big Bloat

At this point in time, there are only about 3 pairs of shoes I can fit into for work. For a girl who has a 4-door almost floor-to-ceiling shoe cabinet, that's practically a tragedy.

Then again, I only have 3 days left to serve at the office before going on my extended leave. And, to put things further into perspective, roughly the same number of weeks to go before I reach full-term. So it's all good really.

The only issue is the water retention that is starting to plague my limbs, although I've been told that even then, my case is not a serious one (yet). I have to keep my feet propped up or risk developing pig's trotters for feet, which is easier said than done. Most days I just waddle back home with that familiar tightness in my feet and calves. I can now no longer sit cross-legged. I also need to prop my feet up when I go to bed at night. And every morning when I get up the first thing I examine are the size of my ankles.

But that's ok, it's all temporary. Only the size of my feet post-partum remains a question mark. Oh, for the sake of my beautiful shoes, I do hope they shrink back to their original size.
