Let the swelling begin

You may all still have nightmares of my  elephant angles when I was pregnant with Javan.

 Ah yes, I remember all too well the way my leg turned into my foot without a single curve....

I wrote it in my pregnancy calendar with Javan. It was toward the beginning of my 33rd week.

You may not believe me, but I seriously did track this excessive swelling from last time and was ECSTATIC when the 33rd week came and went without any swelling - phew... a sigh of relieve that I won't be plagued with the horrendous cankles.

Well, I went to my appt today. I am 2 days shy of 35 weeks. My doctor says to me "looks like you have a little swelling..."

You better believe I checked out those ankles as soon as I got home in hopes that maybe it was an oversight on the md's part...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! They're HERE!! The Dinosaur ankles have made their debut.

And so it begins.

They WILL get bigger.

 Of this, I am sure.

They will be shocking, I promise.

I'll wait until they look like something from Ripley's believe it or not before I share a pic with you. (I know you're dying to see them).

Wonder if this says something about when she is coming... let's see... Javan was born at 36 weeks and 7 days  and the swelling started at 33 weeks and 3 days....I am 35 weeks and 5 days so that makes her "due date" 38 weeks and 4 days (you better double check my math... its not my strong point).

If I'm going to have to deal with this swelling then I'd like to opt for sooner.... (like I actually have a choice)
