"Cankles"

I have been fortunate in my pregnancy for the most part... no morning sickness, no strong aversions to smells or foods, and only a little fatigue. However, one side effect of pregnancy that I seem unable to avoid is swelling in my ankles. Not sure if this picture does the swelling justice, but it might give you a little bit of an idea of what my ankles look like. A friend referred to them as "cankles"... where you can no longer distinguish your calves from your ankles. Josh hates that word so I don't use it very much, but it is descriptive. The doctor has told me to keep my feet elevated... but there is so much to get done, I have a hard time sitting still for any length of time.
