Not much of a post

But, being pregnant has totally made my feet go wonky from the trip. They really only swelled up during the long plane rides, the problem is, it takes them a LONG time to go back down.

Here are pictures of what I call "elephant feet" as I no longer have ankles!

Awwww

I can't remmy if my feet swelled up or not...I know I went up in a size for shoes though after the baby.

My sister just stood next to me yesterday, she's been taller than me for a little while now. I'm now taller than her! I went from just BARELY at 5'9 to 5'9 1/2. Bizarre eh?

With Jessica (my first) my feet swelled up towards ... August (and I was due in November) and they were so tender. I slept on the couch a lot so that I could sleep with my feet up on the arm of the end of the couch. With Jennie, the second kiddo, I don't recall as much ankle swelling. Then with Matthew, HOLY. FREAKING. COW. I have fat rolls hanging off of my feet, literally. But, eventually I peed out all that fluid and now they are skinnier than before I was even pregnant with the first :) Not that any of this helps you feel any better, but sometimes it's nice to know others have gone through the same thing. How are you feeling otherwise? And what's your due date again?

Otherwise I've been feeling great. No problems, just tired :) My due date is November 23rd, I'm only 22 weeks at the moment. I have been feeling the baby move, and Bryan did get to feel him move before I came back, but that's for another post :)

Haha AKA cankles. Where your calf just melts into your ankles. :D

I still prefer elephant feet, I thought it was more creative and my own invention! :D

Awwww that totally takes me back to my pre-surgery days. This was a daily thing for me for years and years. I do NOT miss that. *hugs*

Man, I cannot imagine going through that every day with how tender the ankles and feet get. I'm glad you're not going through that anymore!
