Cankles

Well it is only the beginning of June and they have already started!! During the weekend I have better control over the ugly beasts. Sitting at my desk all day isn't helping the situation. Deke is already referring to me as cankles. It will be interesting to see what other names he will come up with. When I really started showing he switched to calling me prego and yesterday he started in with cankles.

Jen I remember when you were pregnant with Spencer and you worked at the bank and were on your feet all day long. I remember how painful your cankles looked and how I never wanted to experience that unpleasantness. I knew it was bound to happen because my fingers will get a little swollen in the summer time here in Michigan because of the humidity. I just was hoping it wouldn't be until at least July. I can't stand looking at them, they are so gross!

Oh the things we go through for the little ones. I know it will all be worth it when I hold him for the first time!

The word "cankles" still makes me laugh hysterically! Even though it's a funny word...it's definitely not a fun thing to go through and endure. I remember when I was pregnant with Michael and at one of my appointments the doctor pushed his finger on my feet and his imprint stayed for a long time...gross! Just remember...it will all come to an end! Hang in there!

I am sorry that you are starting to experience the less than wonderful parts of being pregnant. You don't have to much longer to go...you'll make it!

ah, the things that can get fat when you're pregnant. it's wonderful isn't it?! Just get those feet propped up as much as possible and keep up good circulation.....ohhh, and get on those kegels too.

Yet again, you have my utter sympathy! Cankles are the worst, and I never found any way to deal with them effectively. The good thing is that you are such an adorable pregnant gal that swolen ankles don't do anything to reduce your cuteness. :)

I totally resemble that remark Les!

I guess I would feel worse about the names, but every picture you have of me on here highlights my double chin so Touche!

Okay, time for something new! Remember your new commitment and I already did, so don't throw that at me.
Seeing you was so dang fun! I wish it could have lasted longer. i want to come and visit without the kiddies, so I have no one but myself to worry about. Maybe for the blessing? Are you thinking Sept, Oct, ???? You probably havent' thought a whole lot about that yet, but the more in advance I know the better. luv ya sis!
