Behold: Big Foot

When the Florida humidity gets really bad ... or when I over-do it early in the day ... or when I can't prop my feet up at work ... or when several of these happen on the same day ... I sometimes end up with painful, huge, ugly feet.

Even on a normal, non-pregnant day, my feet are rather large and not especially attractive as far as feet go. But last night I think they hit their worst point yet - Tim just stared at them and kept saying, "Seriously. Those are big. How much fluid are you retaining in there?!" I had lost definition in my foot, and while my ankles were fairly unswollen, my toes were huge Snausages. It would be one thing if this was just an appearance issue, but they hurt when they are all hot and puffy.

After staying off my feet as much as I could after work and then sleeping last night, they were better today, but still puffed up pretty quickly. I am drowning myself in water and have my feet propped up at work, so hopefully when I get home they won't be quite as gigantor.

  1. That looks familiar!! I've found that putting an ice pack on them when their elevated helps a little bit. If nothing else, it eases that stretched skin feeling a bit.
