Who would of thought that I could make a post to address both my pregnancy-induced edema (a not-so-fun topic!) and also show you our Christmas decorations for the year! Haha! In efforts of saving time, I just wanted to document that I have officially begun my first experience with lower extremity edema! Yay! Now I know how all of my congestive heart failure patients feel! For all you non-healthcare readers, just ignore that comment! But, Dee has a solution for everything. And for this, he has recommended him ordering me compression stockings. Now, I have not mentioned how he has already ordered me a maternity support brace for my back and stomach. I told him between the compression stockings, back brace, and support bras, I feel as if my body is falling apart, and not to mention, I can't really move with all of that paraphernalia!! I told him thank you, but I will hold off on the "stockings" at this time, and will try propping my legs up in the afternoons instead!
On a much lighter note, here are some pictures of our Christmas decorations! As I mentioned before, we got our first live tree and I love coming home to the smell of it! Now the real question is who is going to be taking these decorations down?? Because after the holidays, I will have around 4-5 weeks left of pregnancy, and I don't anticipate having the desire to do a whole lot other than "nest" and sleep while I can! We will see how it turns out!!
