pregnancy casualty #1 - cankles

Thursday, May 29, 2008

On Monday I noticed that my feet were kind of bothering me. As I pulled a foot up to take a look I was shocked at how fat it was. Ack, both feet were really swollen. It's pretty early in the pregnancy to already have swollen feet so I think it was a combination of many things that caused it. The cute little heels I wore on Sunday, the sudden hot weather we experienced over the weekend, all of those darn salty potato chips I ate, all of the water I should have but didn't drink and being on my feet all day Monday...

Josh gave me a little foot massage the other night and I couldn't help but cry when I looked at my throbbing fat feet and cankles. Luckily they seem to be improving! I've been keeping my once-cute feet propped up whenever I can and they look loads better today. I'm not taking any chances though, no more chips or foods high in sodium for me.

One more pregnancy symptom I can check off the list that I have experienced... No need to experience that again!
