The Interesting Things That Can Happen When You Are Pregnant

I don't mean this blog post to be a complaining post. I have absolutely loved being pregnant and I have embraced every part of it--the good with the ugly. But when I say ugly, there are some things about my body that have become, literally, down right scary! Pregnancy has been an amazing journey and watching how my body has changed in order to support a living being inside of me is nothing short of miraculous. However, sometimes us pregnant folk must adjust to a body that is less than, eh, ideal. :) I have been extremely lucky in that I have had minimal aches, pains and general issues that can plague a pregnant woman. However, I did not escape this pregnancy problem free.
In the last few weeks, I have watched my feet, ankles, legs and hands swell to unusual sizes. Wearing compression socks have been the only relief for my legs and my hands have not worn any sort of jewellry for some time. While generally uncomfortable, it has been the source of amusement for me, Jason and, while they were in town, my in-laws. We played the game of Lets-See-What Sort-of-Indentation-We-Can-Make with my feet. Here were the results:

Behold the fat foot

 and, Voila! your very own indentation.



Impressive, no?
