My hands are swollen today. In part from the pregnancy and in large part from holding the paint brush and roller. I can't wear my wedding ring half the time these days from water retention. Boo. Oh well, only a few more weeks and the water I've retained will go down. Maybe I'll have to put my ring on a chain.
I'm glad I don't need to do the other rooms by myself...not that I had to do that one by myself. I just did it. I want it all done so I can rest.
Today we are heading to Lexington to see my new niece and nephew! They were born in July and my sister is having a welcome the twins party. Can't wait to get there! :-)
Should be fun.
Pics below. Right hand is worse from painting.
Red legs...I guess it is due to increased blood volume. Atthis stage, a pregnant woman has 50% more blood in her body that usual. My feet swell on occasion, usually at the end of the day. Nothing major. I just don't get the redness. It's like a sunburn, where you can out your hand on it and a white mark is left. So weird.
My blood pressure is fine, everything was fine at my check-up, so I'm just assuming it is a curiosity of pregnancy.
