You know that place where everything is ideal? The world exists in a state of harmony and bliss, and everything is as it should be? That's called utopia. About a week ago, my utopia was my reality. I was a sassy chick with an obvious, but smallish, baby bump - and rockin' legs! Well, they were rockin' whenever I wore heels. If you know how to achieve rockin' legs while wearing flats, please share your secret!
As I was saying, one week ago, my pregnant body was at its ideal state. Tonight, all of that changed. My utopia came crashing down around me. I was sitting in a salon chair getting my bangs trimmed when I looked in the mirror, and a puffy chick with a double chin looked back at me. I exclaimed to myself, "Hey! I have a double chin!" and my haircutting friend said, "Well, you're pregnant!" This is what I always told my expectant friends when they were lamenting their changing bodies. From the outside, it's not a big deal. "You're not fat - you're pregnant! You're supposed to gain 90 lbs, a double chin, a bubble butt, and sausage fingers." But then I looked down at my formerly slender legs and my jaw dropped. This is what each of my legs looked like:
There's no denying it. I have cankles.

and even though you knew it would probably happen, and even though you know it's not forever, and even though you know you'll get a cutie pie baby out of the deal...it's still hard to sit around and watch your body morph into something so, well, lame!
Quit it. You look great!
Oh Pah-lease! You look good and don't even feel bad. I know you and you will be miss running skinny minnie 2 seconds after you have Baby Boy Bell! But in the mean time just know that everyone gains weight in pregnancy. :)
I feel your pain. the only bright side is that foot rubs (and hand massages) will feel better than they've ever felt in your life. Tim's turn to contribute. :)
Oh the joys of pregnancy! You do look great!
You know that old saying "the camera adds 10 lbs"? Well that old slogan goes for pregnancy too:
Pregnancy adds 100 lbs, but only through the lens of your own eyes. Seriously, you look great and as much as you hate to hear it, you really are a "cute little pregnant girl"! But no matter how anyone else sees you, you always feel like a total whale when you are pregnant.
It's just a rite of passage. Sorry!
