Well, it appears I have puffed up a bit more than is really good for me in the last couple weeks. I have had a lot of water weight gain in the last weeks and my face and hands are puffy, which can be associated with pregnancy induced hypertension. So far my blood pressure is a still a bit below the threshold where it becomes a real problem, and we're hoping a little rest, relaxation and baby coming out soon will solve it with no further intervention. I will be checking my blood pressure at home and having weekly appointments now. And no more working for me, which is honestly a wonderful blessing because my poor feet barely fit my flip flops after a day on my feet at work- painful!
So, my plan is to enjoy the weather with some leisurely walks, prepare some foods to freeze for when the baby comes, take naps and rest. I am rather enjoying the idea of every day being Saturday for a while, and hopefully that calm attitude will be just what my body needs.

Hey Steffo, I've been thinking about you lately! I hope things continue to go okay, and that you get to rest and relax. What a relief to be done with work for awhile! If you need anything, let me know!
So glad that you're going to be not working any more! I think that will be best for you and baby!
Can't wait!
