Bye Bye Rexburg. Hello Swelling


We ended up having to rent a 16' Budget truck and tow our car on a trailer. Moving is NOT cheap! We were spending so much on gas that our credit card company froze our card and called to make sure it hadn't been stolen (which we were grateful for!). We split the drive into two days, stopping in Las Vegas at 3am and staying overnight with some family friends. I was shocked when I looked down at my feet and saw two big marshmellow feet below me. They were totally swollen from the drive! I tried running cold water on them in the tub and elevating them that night. The next morning I got an amazing foot massage from our friend's sister who I just barely met! How sweet! I gave her the biggest hug when we left and tried to keep my feet elevated the rest of the 7 hour drive from Vegas to Fresno. Then when we finally arrived I filled a bucket full of ice water and soaked. My poor feet. I have to sleep with them elevated now every night :( Oh well.. only six more weeks!!

More like five and a half weeks now! It is scary when feet swell up like that, huh? Are they better now? Post pictures of your new apartment.

the last few weeks feel so long hang in there. Have you found a new doctor and toured the hospital where you will have the baby?
