Hello Cankles...

Ahhh, the joys of pregnancy!

My feet and ankles have been swelling a little here and there for the past couple of months, but nothing too severe. Usually it occurs at the end of the day, so it's no big deal. I've still been able to wear my regular shoes, although I've switched to pretty much wearing only flats or really low heels.

Unfortunately, in the past couple of days the swelling has started a little earlier in the day and has gotten worse. So now, heaven forbid I wear a skirt or dress to work...the lovely cankles are out there in front of God and everybody. And, it seems like the more water I drink, the worse it gets! I thought it was supposed to be the other way around!?! Yesterday, I was going to take the kiddo for a walk, but it started raining...probably a good thing, because I wasn't really sure if I would be able to squeeze my feet into my Saucony's!! Hopefully, I will not have to resort to wearing sandals to work everyday...although that would give a good excuse to get a weekly pedicure! :-)

I am having a case of blonde-itis this afternoon.

Now I can't remember what I was going to post.

Oh yeah....extra water never seems to flush stuff away for me either.

Christy,
Be sure to check your BP... don't want to worry you, but swelling can be a sign of other things even at this stage of pregnancy.

The more water I drink, the more I weigh...

Oh goodness Christy it is getting to be that time. Hang in there!
