Cankles Are Amazing!


Xmas.

Done and dusted.

I'm sure I'll post an OTT photo collage when I can find the camera.

Or can be bothered.

Or can walk.


It seems Santa decided to be extra generous this year
and
 remembered 
that since
I'm 9 months pregnant, hot, sweaty and had to make lunch for the family
it was only fair that
I wake up 
with 
ELEPHANT SIZED CANKLES and FEET.


Awesome.  So blessed.

(I'm blaming seven hours of whoring around the shopping centre on my feet, being sucked into the whole last minute Xmas crazy).

So add that to the imaginary gestational diabetes the hospital diagnosed
(which I don't have but thank you for letting me prick my finger every two hours to check my 
ABSOLUTELY FINE 
glucose levels over the Xmas weekend)
and
an ultrasound 
showing that  
my
baby was going to be another big one
(ow, crossing my legs just thinking about that fat head)

and 
the fact that I no longer fit into 
ANYTHING

(from an actual web site called 'fatspiration'. Sheesh.)

and 
you're safe to assume 
that I'm over being pregnant.

I'm also totally unprepared for looking after a newborn.


Yikes.
Whose dumb idea was this again???

Not long now. :) My feet swelled so badly at work last week, that my fat little toe split open at the bottom! Soo lucky! and I've convinced myself that I will work for 3.5 more weeks!

Wish me cankleless-ness.

I'm hearing ya!! I don't even recognise my feet/cankles - they surely can't be mine!! The most hideous thing I have ever seen!! Add to that the pubis dysfunction pain and severe hip pain and I look like I should be living in a nursing home! Hubby keeps joking that instead of a walking stick I should have a zimmer frame LOL although I think an electronic wheelchair with a flag attached to the back would be much more attractive! haha I am booked in for a c sect next Wednesday - one week of hell left for me to go! Good luck!! Nicole xx
