Fakin' It

So the swelling continues....
I was getting used to my new sausage feet and starting to come to terms with the idea of having cankles this summer, but now it's worked it's way up to my hands. Why does it target all the extremities?!

With that said, the wedding ring has been officially retired until post-baby. After having a panic attack and almost ripping my finger off trying to take off my ring, I decided it was time to give in and put it away in safe keeping for a few months. I didn't want to risk having it stuck and getting it cut off.

After wearing a ring 24 hours a day, 365 days a week for 4 years, it's a very naked feeling not having it on, and many times I caught myself thinking "Oh My Gawd! Where is my ring?!"...then to remind myself that it's safe at home, whew. (gotta love pregnant brain)
I also felt awkward without a ring on. Wondering if people were judging me with an obvious baby belly and no wedding ring. Not that I should care, but turns out I do. So time to fake it.


It's not even close to my real ring (and a bit bigger..hehe), but will do for the time being.
In the meantime I'll get my real one re-plated and polished and look forward to our reunion!
