I just wanted to mention the top thing on my thankful list as of late.....MY HEALTH. I'm extremely grateful that I've been blessed with good health throughout this pregnancy. Usually your immune system when you are pregnant is a little weakened, not up to snuff and you seem to get whatever bug is going around. Well... I'm happy to report that I have yet to even catch a cold let alone the nasty swine flu that pregnant women are at high risk of getting this season. eek! I've been able to remain well despite everyone in the fam having some type of the "sickies" these last couple of months. From viral bronchitis, sore throats, head colds and the runs, to fever and coughing, I've escaped it all!
Although I haven't caught anything yet from the kiddos and hubby, I'm certain if I was still at the elementary working with all those school kids I would have come down with something by now. That place is a virtual germ fest. Not working there, AND instead having limited hours at the tutoring center, makes the thankful list as well. Also grateful that I was able to receive the ever sought after H1N1 shot. (You should have seen the line of desperate pregnant women waiting to get the vaccination...) Health professionals say it takes two weeks after receiving the shot to be immune from getting that particular strain of flu. Since I've reached that two week mark, I so hope they are right and I can be free and clear from that worry.
Now if I can just figure out what to do with my swollen ankles and feet. I'm telling you...they are a sight to behold! Although I am grateful that I was able to stuff my "tree trunks" into my high heel boots today... I'm afraid it may have been for the very last time. Couldn't get those darn zippers up! lol Therefore, I had to officially add shoe shopping to my "to do" list. That would be shopping for size 11 shoes. Yes, size 11! It's pathetic really. Can there be anything remotely cute, stylish, and fashionable out there in that size? Wish me luck!
Just to give you an idea...These beauts (so gross...I'm sorry!) came out of
being stuffed into these...
Now the humorous part is when I have to summon a willing participant in the house to help me get my shoes off at the end of the day....Oh the joys of pregnancy!
I'm so glad that you are feeling good! I can sympathize with those swollen feet - I used to wear an ace wrap when I was pregnant with Mason to keep the swelling down! Also, I LOVE all of your Halloween pictures - your girls are so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHalloween pictures are GREAT! Haven't even gotten there yet! Just glad I got to Connor's B-day in time ya know? LOL I had ENOURMOUS feet and ankles also! You poor thing! I really do sympathize---more than you know. If you remember, I am a size 10-10 1/2 and pregnant went to an 11--GROSS! Then at the very end of Courtney-only slippers fit me! And they were mens! hahaha AND I was working so tons off people had to see--poor them! LOL Get Jaren on that feet rubbin' and elevate-elevate-elevate! (U probly alredy knew that!) :)
