31 Weeks

I am 31 weeks pregnant today. And throughout the last trimester, my left foot and ankle have swelled. Not too bad, and I could control it by wearing hose or crocs or sitting more than I stood. But now it swells all the time, no matter the shoe I wear or what I do. If I sit at my desk and elevate it, it is still huge by the time I get home. If I alternate sitting and standing, or walk around the building once an hour, it is just as big. Yesterday as I sat in the car, I could feel my sneaker tightening and had to loosen the laces. And by the time I went to bed, my foot, ankle and shin were HUGE. It goes down some at night, but never to completely normal. It looks so strange to me, like my foot is allergic to pregnancy.
