Bazaar Season is in full swing! This is Ate during the Zonta Bazaar in the evening. I know their theme is Christmas Carnivale and every year they have the most colorful bazaar! With a lot of interesting concessionaires of course. We came in the evening so it would be cooler and so Ate could see the lights. There were arts and crafts activities and my good friend G was busy helping kids be creative. Ate enjoyed seeing the lights in that bazaar. Next year, hopefully, she can do some of the activities.
And while I still can, I brave the crowds and do some shopping! Actually, I already did shopping early since I knew I'd have difficulty going around this time of the year. I'm already 8 pounds heavier than when I gave birth to Ate and I'm still growing! Rather, my baby inside is still growing! Getting heavier and heavier each day. It's really just window shopping and seeing new things that make me happy during bazaars. The urge to spend isn't there anymore since I am more budget conscious.
My feet are so swollen. It's a good thing my brother introduced me to compression socks and gave me a pair from his stock. My brother is a triathlete (and I say that proudly). Compression socks help with blood circulation and he wears it after he runs. It somehow helps bring the blood back up instead of remaining down there. Diabetics also use this and doctors recommend it. My feet never swelled with Ate in my womb until the 9th month. In my 7th and 8th month now, my ankles look fat and my feet are chubby! Oh dear!
My brother's compressions socks help relieve swelling even if it isn't the correct size. The leg pain, the leg cramps, varicose veins and edema are also lessened. I tested it by wearing only 1 in my left leg. After a few hours I took it off and compared it to my right leg. Wow! I really saw the difference. I wear them at night if I did a lot of walking during the day. Or I wear it when I am just at home. It doesn't look very attractive. There are compression stockings but I didn't think I needed them so I don't have a pair. Working pregnant moms should invest in those.
