Cankles and Sausage Toes

So...There are several things that are not fun about being pregnant, at least for me. The several (hundred) late night trips to the bathroom, the lack of sleep, the waddle, the inability to bend over, stupid pregnancy pants that are supposed to nicely fit around an ever expanding belly but for some reason they inevitably end up UNDER my belly (and the inseam is down to my knees) and my shirt ends up OVER my belly,why bother getting dressed I say? So the other morning I thought maybe I should introduce my shirt and pants to each other then maybe they would feel like sticking together for the day (no such luck). And last but not least "cankles" and "sausage toes" now for those of you who are wondering what the heck a "cankle" is, it's the term my husband lovingly uses when refering to my lower legs/feet, since there is no real definition between the calf and the ankle (see picture below)=cankle. My toes are sort of chubby even when I'm not pregnant so when I'm pregnant they get really chubby thus the "sausage toes"... Hope that visual doesn't mess with your desire for breakfast meats...It is pretty uncomfortable and when they get REALLY huge (they're mildly huge in the pictures below) I can sort of feel stuff sloshing around when I walk...Weird and gross-I know!

However there are some fun things about being pregnant...Generally people give you what you want without giving you grief, like ice cream for a mid morning snack...Or french fries at 11PM. I dare anyone to mess with a preg-o and her food cravings... Pregnancy brain (a very real and valid condition--not just an excuse) comes in handy when you've forgotten something important or can't think about more than 2 things at the same time...And last but not least you get a fun baby shower with lots of cute gifts and the chance to hang out with good friends who make you laugh....Thanks guys, I appreciate you!
