32 Week Check up & ankle bags

So my doctor says everything is going great in my pregnancy.
i have lost ANOTHER 2 pounds because of the diabetes diet.
so im down to 148 - i only started at 134 - 135ish so a big ol 12 pounds so far... wow!
baby girls heart beat was 154 so she is looking good.
my diabetes is still under control with diet so im all salad and protein!
but it's working! my sugar levels have been perfect aside from the occasional outburst of over indulging or just ONE BITE of something not good for me! lol
it happens few and FAR between.
our doc visit was spent mostly talking about perminate birth control after the baby is here.
i have signed a document that states if for any reason i am opened up for a c-section i will get to have a tubal done.
if not i guess we will try the essure route, cept i have one concern on that for now that is there is less than 5% nickel in those things and i might have a nickel allergy because there are certain jewelry that will make my have little itchy bumps where it was sitting.
so i might not even be eligible for that. i guess if thats the case the IUD thing would be the next NON hormone birth control option.
my doc did say that i was doing GREAT in the pregnancy and that he was surprised that i am JUST NOW having to deal with swollen ankles, with as hot as it has been this summer.
YAHOO news said Louisville, KY was the #1 hottest city this summer with a crazy 73 days in the 90's with the humidity beating down as well making the heat index 100 or over on SEVERAL occasions!! UGGHHH
Per Yahoo

"Louisville has spent the most days above normal temperatures beginning in
June, according to NOAA: a total of 73 for June, July and up to Aug. 17. The
city normally sees summer high temperatures ranging from 83 in June to 87 in
July. But this year it logged nearly all of June and July above normal, and it
spent every day in August, up to Aug. 17, above normal. Still, it hasn't broken
its record 107-degree day, set in 1936"

BUT LOOK AT THESE ANKLES!!!
per Babycenter.com
"By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds
(pick up
a large jicama) and is about 16.7
inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a
pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll
gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she
fattens up for survival outside the
womb."
