The swelling has started....

I can only imagine what my ankles are going to look like come this summer.

I have been noticing for about the last week or so, that by the time I go to bed, my ankles have swollen slightly. I know this is normal for pregnancy, especially for someone who is on their feet a lot and chasing a toddler around.

I think I am going to have to try to prop my feet of more during the day..

In other baby news, I forgot to mention that when I had my ultrasound last week, that they said the placenta is anterior. Which basically means that instead of attaching at the back of the uterus by my spine, it attached in the front by my belly. This is not a issue, but it does explain why I feel this baby so much differently than I did Julia. With this baby I feel him more on my sides, really low, or kicking my organs. I never feel him kicking my belly like Julia was doing at this time. My midwife said to give it a couple weeks and he will be strong enough and I will start to feel the kicks through the placenta. But this also means that Jerrod really cannot feel the baby move yet. Soon...
