“Hello boobs. Goodbye ankles.”
I was prepared for my breasts to increase in size during my pregnancy. In fact, I was excited for it. I’ve always been in the “small chested” category, so getting boobs (even if it’s only temporary) was sort of a bonus to baby making. Unfortunately no one warned me that at the same time my boobs would be showing up, my ankles would be disappearing. I looked down at my feet the other day to find that my once cute feet looked slightly swollen. Okay, not really a big deal. But then I happened to glance a couple of inches up and noticed that there no longer seemed to be a clear definition from where my calves ended and my feet began. Where or where have my ankles gone? Now to be clear, I’m really not complaining. I am absolutely delighted to be preggers. I have many girlfriends that are struggling right now with infertility and miscarriages and so I considered myself very blessed to be 22 weeks pregnant and in great health. I just didn’t know (’cuz no one ever shared) that I’d be losing my ankles again in the process. It makes me think that next winter while everyone else is wearing their Uggs to stay warm… I might just be sporting crop pants and sandals so that I can once again show off my feminine ankles.
