I had a wonderful baby shower on Saturday that my husband's sister hosted, along with his mom, aunt, cousin, my grandmother and some former co-workers who were able to make it to St. Paul. Baby Hutton is all set for taking baths and got some really cute plush toys, baby music, blocks, clothes and a beautiful handmade quilt.

Before I left for the three-hour drive I needed help from my husband in putting on a pair of sandals that buckle. Problem was they wouldn't even close over my feet anymore. He graciously punched a new hole in the straps so I could wear them and then had to put them on for me! I can no longer reach my feet close enough with my growing belly.

So after the drive and sitting with my feet straight down a few more hours, my feet were super swollen. We all had a pretty good laugh because I hardly recognize my ankles without any visible bones. It looks like my feet were broken or something. You can see for yourself!



I just had another prenatal exam today and swollen feet with a high blood pressure can mean you have toxemia. Luckily, it's just the heat of summer taking its toll. Because so many of my summer shoes are too tight, I went shopping last night. Much to my shock, I have grown one and a half sizes larger! Did this happen to you too?
