Kankles

Ok, I know I've said it before, but here is proof that the kankles are here & they're here to stay for what seems like for ever! They first appeared about a month ago so when I say it feels like forever, 2-3 months of this feels like FOREVER!

For those that are unfamiliar with a kankle: A kankle is what used to be your ankle but is now so large that you can't tell where your foot ends & your leg starts. Yes, it hurts to walk on, especially first thing in the morning. No, I cannot wiggle my toes. Yes, it hurts to bend at the former location of my ankle. Once you develop kankles, Travis will begin to call you Pregosaurus to your face. Ah, the joys of pregnancy & motherhood!!

These pix were taken at 12:30 am. I haven't been on my feet any more today than on a normal day but I didn't sit down & take it easy all day either. Unfortunately, when I wake up in the morning, it doesn't look much better than this.
