25 Weeks. Say No to Sodium!

25 Weeks has come and will quickly pass. I am feeling so great these days. No complaints at all. I hardly ever nap anymore, I have a great appetite, and feel baby moving ALL the time! I love this stage. I do feel incredibly large these days. Weight gain has been steady the past couple of weeks and I can definitely tell. I can also tell when I eat something unhealthy or extremely salty. Greasy foods make me feel uncomfortable afterwards and sodium makes SWOLLEN with a capital S! We made some boiled peanuts the other day and I'm pretty sure I ate nearly half the batch and boy could I tell! I was huge when I woke up to head into work. I weighed that morning when I woke up and weighed again that evening after seeing how swollen I was. There was a six pound difference!!!! WOW! Not good. I felt like a blimp...even my lips were swollen. Ha! I should've taken a picture. A co-worker came by and said, "Well hello, you look really pregnant today". Haha! I'm sure she was referring to my swollen face and not my swollen belly. I drank lots and lots of water at work and over the next 48 hours it finally flushed out. I wont be doing that again.
