losing things...or maybe just my mind

Wednesday, July 16, 2008

My compression socks have really been a huge help when dealing with swollen feet. If I notice that my feet are getting a little swollen I will wear them for a day or so and the swelling will go down. It seems I have to do this about once a week but that's much better than having fat feet that hurt all the time. Sometime between Saturday and today I lost my wonderful compression socks. Last night Josh and I looked EVERYWHERE. They were nowhere to be found. It just figures because my feet are huge today and hurting already. Mostly I'm frustrated because I just don't lose things.

When I first got pregnant I was warned by numerous older women of a symptom one lady called "Pregnancy Brain Drain". I thought it was a little ridiculous that pregnant women were blaming pregnancy for being forgetful. And now here I am one week from the third trimester and I can't hardly remember what I ate for breakfast this morning, let alone where I put my compression socks that I really need!

I have absolutely no explanation for it except that it's a symptom of pregnancy. Josh says he's sure my compression socks will turn up...probably in about four months. Perfect, just when I don't need them anymore. Hopefully I'll have found my mind by then too!
