Bloody Stumps

I reached a new milestone in my pregnancy. My foot was so swollen, I couldn't get my shoe on. I had to settle for wearing sneakers with my dress pants today. I am mortified.

Another thing no one tells you. Swollen feet and cankles (ankles the size of calves) are not comfortable. They don't bend as well and I can't feel them as well either. I guess this is why pregnant women waddle.

Is it okay to laugh? Mostly because Dan has a bloody stump story...which I'm sure you've heard before...and also because I frequently refer to my "cankles" after I fly. I kind of can relate on that level, but it sounds like yours are getting out of control. On the up side, only 1.5 more months!

Yes, the "Bloody Stumps and Sweaty Blumps" story from London UK. Ahhhh, the memories!

You've just got to say that now with a Manchurian accent and you'll sound straight from Monty Python. I'm sorry, though! My feet have grown a full size after our 4 kids. I do still mourn my cute shoes :(

Flip flops all the way! Of course, that doesn't work in the winter...
