Soda and water retention

So, once again, my feet are and ankles are huge. I am totally blaming it on the fact that I've been drinking more pop this week than water. It's Brian's fault since he bought several packs of pop at the store this week because it was on sale. Oh that orange soda and ginger-ale tasted so good! Maybe I can get maintenance to install a water fountain right in my office to help encourage me to drink more H2O.
And I also have not yet devised a way to put my feet up while sitting at my desk at work. What I need is a recliner in the office, or better yet, a secretary that I can dictate all my notes to be typed to and I can lounge and relax. If it was a perfect world...
I took this picture to help me feel better about my feet...they look so small and far away compared to my extended belly :-)
On another random note, my belly-button itches. Way itches...and then I'm in that predicament where I don't want to touch it, but the itch is driving me crazy. I think if I close my eyes and I can totally feel my belly getting bigger and my belly-button stretching out.

This pregnancy is really making you think crazy thoughts!!! These last two months will be a challenge for you in regards to food intake!!! It is soooo easy to put on the extra weight, but sooooo hard to get rid of it after the little bruiser arrives!

Maybe (gently!) put some cocoa butter on/in your bellybutton? I'm sure the skin there is stretching, too!

*hugs!*

Give Brian a sharpie and let him draw a soccer ball design on your belly!

Wow...such great suggestions :-) Instead of a soccer ball, I'm thinking of painting it orange and making a jack-o-lantern out of my belly for Halloween!
