Feeling large

I feel really large now. I don't remember exactly if I was this large at 24 weeks along with Lexi. Looking at pictures, I can definitely tell I had a belly but hard to judge if it was in this range or not. Sister in law Jen had given me a lot of maternity tops - and several of them don't fit any more. I hope I can make it to the end without running out of clothes that fit!

The heat and humidity are also dragging me down. I feel like I am moving slower than usual. My ankles are also rather swollen at the end of the day.

The ultrasound last week indicated that this is going to be a big baby. Neither Stephen nor I remembered Lexi as being big but when I looked up her birth weight, it was just over 8 lbs which isn't small. They still had trouble looking at baby's spine at the exact angle that they wanted to so I have to go back in 4 weeks for another ultrasound. I know some people don't have many of these and so think it is a thrill to have an ultrasound, but the thrill has pretty much worn off for me.

I was larger with each successive pregnancy. Just what number ten would be like!

the heat is no doubt the big reason for swollen ankles. Can you prop up your feet during the day? or at the end of the day?

Thought maybe I should add that I weighed 9.5 pounds and was 23 inches long so I surely took up some space.
