Puffy

As you know, this past weekend I ventured to Chicago by myself to attend the Brands & Bloggers Summit. I promise to fill you in more on the BBSummit in another post.
So, I made this trip alone.
And if you forgot, I’m also pregnant.
Needless to say it took me a bit longer to make the drive since I had to make frequent potty and stretch stops.
By the time I arrived on Friday, I had been traveling for 6 hours.
My feet were HUGE and swollen.
By Saturday morning, the swelling had gone down a bit but after sitting during the presentations at the conference, my feet began to swell again.

I give you Exhibit A.

After the rest of the conference plus the drive back to Green Bay, the swelling got worse.
Upon arriving at my house, I could barely move them.

I give you Exhibit B.

Since returning home Sunday, I’ve done A LOT of resting.
Well after we went to Legend’s for the Food Network Star viewing party with the amazingly talented Jyll Everman..

(Jyll and I went to school together!)

Once we returned from watching the show, I sat down and put my feet up where they have remained for most of the last 48 hours. I did have to send the Alex out to get some compression socks to wear for a few hours that did help quite a bit!

I am pleased to report that my feet actually look human again.

I give you Exhibit C.
