Cankles and chocolate cake.

Many times the two go together. Fat lady + chocolate cake = cankles.

Not so much in this situation!

Yesterday, I looked down at my feet and “holy shit” they were the size of wood logs that you’d put in the fire place! I was instantly shocked and of course focused on my big ass canks for the rest of the afternoon. So as I was feeling them to see if they had fluid I realize that I also have sausage fingers to go with my canks!

Our friend L was over and we went to the drugstore so that I could get a quick reading of my blood pressure. The first reading came out at 155/70 — but I’m pretty sure it’s because I had to waddle to the back of the store and was out of breath. The second reading was 122/60. Not too shabby.

Of course, last night Margot got to hear me moan and complain about the cankle legs and I’m pretty paranoid that my feet look like Fred Flintstones.

In other news — Wegmans Deluxe Chocolate Cake - THE BOMB. It’s gooey chocolate cake that has three layers seperated by the sweetest and thickest layer of chocolate icing I’ve ever tasted or seen in my life.

I got a mini one at the bakery and let’s just say… it was too mini and I should really hide the evidence from my dear partner before she gets home and realizes that I consumed the whole damn thing.

I miss my booze!

I’m really not an alcoholic but every once in a while I love my Corona, glass of white wine, or margarita!

You’ll be glad to know that Margot’s made up for my inability to drink and loves her evening glass of wine with dinner!

Of course, after I pop the kid it might make sense for us to join a wine club! You get wine every month or so and many times you try things that you might not have been able to pick up in a store.

Better than it was?

I hope I don’t totally jinx myself but sleeping lately hasn’t been too bad. I’ve worked it out with my pillows and they now cooperate and don’t move around too much when I sleep.

What I noticed last night was when I was sleeping my hands keep falling asleep and when I woke up they looked like big Vienna sausages! I think it’s part of the swelling thing and once I got up and moved around the swelling seemed to go down a little.

The joys of pregnancy!

Always lookin…

I don’t know if it’s the pregnancy or just lack of having a life of my own. But lately I’ve been obsessed with celebrity lives! I pick the trashy mags every single time I’m at the grocery and I’m so curious as to who’s in drug treatment centers, who’s having affairs, and my favorite — who’s pregnant!

Of course, I’m hoping that all of this passes once I have the baby and don’t have enough time for such nonsense.

Here’s hoping, right?

Finally caught up on the photos!

Thanks to some insomnia this morning and the fact that we take fewer and fewer photos as Graem gets older, I was able to post the rest of our photos to date. And it’s not even the end of April yet!

Here they are:

January
February
March

Enjoy!
