cankles

i am so glad that when we were in london we decided that cankles were a sign of royalty, i am so swollen i should be empress of the earth now! apparently just sitting at my desk causes ever ounce of fluid within my body (that isnt in my increasingly small bladder) to flow directly to my ankles. its really disgusting. my little toes seem to peek out from underneath my giant fat balloon foot. ive tried drinking massive amounts of water, but it doesnt help. it probably is counter-acted by the fact that the baby likes salty food. what am i to do?
