... yep, I've got that wonderful pregnancy condition known as "water retention".
My hands feel puffy about 75% of the time...even in the mornings when I wake up.
My feet and ankles though actually have that yucky pitting edema (Pitting Edema = swelling that doesn't pop back to normal shape when you push on it...it just stays sunken in and just looks yucky!) I know people say it helps to put your feet up, but I don't get why sleeping all night in bed doesn't help it even a tiny bit. I'm as puffy in the morning as I am in the evening... Today I even have it about 8 inches up my legs...
At least Megan told me today that I can wear my croc flip flops for her wedding! :)
So, for those of you who don't know what cankles are...
Cankles: Calves that become feet without taking an ankle break.
