Cankles

I've been reading some pregnancy books (standard for me to be all consumed in books about my latest interest) and I've been hearing them talk about swelling. And I've virtually ignored it because I haven't had any issues. Well, after I got home yesterday, I took off my socks and realized that I couldn't see my ankles. It reminded me of what my ankles looked like when they were sprained years ago. So now I've got cankles and I'm not even 6 months along yet! Never thought it would happen to me, but it has. And I'm guessing its not going to improve until this girl pops out of me. I just hope I don't have to resort to wearing flip-flops in the end...we'll see!

Quick Baby Update: So yesterday I had a doc apptmt with my OB to check-up on our growing baby girl. Heartbeat was 150 (although it took my doc a few minutes to get it as she was squirming around so much), my belly measures 24cm (so right on track) and I'm up more pounds than I'd like to share since my appointment 4 weeks ago. Soon I'll be 24 weeks along!
