The Joys of Pregnancy - "Swankles"

Jill has been lucky enough to have a picture perfect pregnancy. You need look no further than this very blog for proof of that. Yet, not all the pictures of a picture perfect pregnancy are pretty.

As a result we've become very sodium conscious in our household over the last three months. Jill also does well to spend plenty of time with her feet up.
