cankle time

ok....sooo embarrassing kinda funny too - i totally have cankles! with almost exaclty 2 weeks left til the big day, my ankles decided to start retaining a little water i guess cuz i was painting my toenails last thursday and noticed that the my ankle bone was slowly disappearing - i was totally mortified! of course, i hoped that it was just from my long day on my feet the day before, but my "cankles" as people call them have continued to make me either laugh or complain (depending on the mood of course) every time i look down at my feet. they get better and then worse depending on what i do each day, but i am definitely a cankler now as you can see below....hideous i tell you!!!



i know it's from the pregnancy, and i still feel ok with how everything has gone for me, but i always hoped that my ankle bones would never disappear, so it's taken some getting used to :) i'm down to less than 2 weeks now though, and i'm sure i can handle putting my feet up every once in a while, so all is well! Just thought that this little blog might make those who have never experienced cankles thankful and those who know exactly what i'm talking about thankful that they're not going through it at this very moment!

Poor little cankles! This for me was one of the things that depressed me the most. It's just so hard to feel cute a church when ou look like you're walking on tree truncks! Ofcourse this is temperary but don't worry if ou shed a few tears oer the way they look I had a few off moments where my cankles got the best of me and I had to have a little cry.

Linz...I've got cankles too. They do go away afterwards, but suck having in the mean time. This last bit of pregnancy is the though part...just when you think your body can't possible change anymore, it does.
