36-weeks! The edema is kicking in. My doctor explained it to me that edema is a side effect of our body preparing for the birth. Because you loose so much blood delivering a baby, your body prepares itself by increasing the blood supply. Thus, swelling! It's kind of a beautiful thing. So I am enjoying my fat fingers, toes, and face... It will be all over before we know it.
