25 Weeks

Another week down! And, only 103 days to go (according to my babystrology widget)! Been feeling pretty good, but have experienced some swelling. Imagine my surprise when I realized I had no ankles last Friday - don't worry though, they are back to a fairly normal size now. No more cankles, at least for today anyways.


I have noticed that there are lots of little things about pregnancy that no one really talks about - things that you have to be an 'insider' for to actually figure out. Everyone is always quick to share with you the preggo 'glow'(of which I have yet to experience), the enhanced rack, the exhaustion, the incorrectly labeled 'morning' sickness etc - but what about the return of adolescent-like acne? Or, more importantly, the sudden growth of your feet? Why on earth does no one talk about this? Perhaps it is just too painful - it sure is for me. You see, I have a 'thing' for shoes. A fetish, if you will. An 'I can't live without stylish shoes' complex. And the other day I thought I might break out a couple of 'almost Fall' / changing of the season shoes - you know the kind...the cute little ballet flats, patent pumps, sexy boots etc. Well let's just say that was a bad idea. A VERY BAD IDEA. Nothing fits. I am now a size 8, goodbye (for now) my dearly beloved 7's.

What is a girl to do? I surely can't start wearing my Uggs this early in the season (thank god something fits). Lord help me and please let my feet shrink back...at least eventually.
