Yesterday Nate and I went out long boarding on a little hill that has no traffic. I watched Nate as I took a few pictures and I even tried to long board myself. I haven't been on one since I've been pregnant and it was so bizarre! I could not function for the life of me because my whole weight distribution is different. I felt like a moron! (and I'm sure I looked like one too). Needless to say that didn't last long and I just enjoyed watching Nate.
I always hear these stories of women who do fun athletic stuff when their pregnant so I thought it would be fun, but I guess I'd have to relearn with my new center of gravity. I didn't realize how much of my weight distribution had changed but now that I think about it, if you were suddenly to take away my pregnancy, I'd probably fall backwards.
In other exciting news, my ankles are getting puffy. The other day my office manager stopped me and inquired about my ankles. I told her I just naturally have thick ankles and not to worry, but she looked concerned. To put her at ease I awkwardly maneuvered my feet so that I could see my ankles and sure enough they were puffy! They're always been thick, but these suckers are actually puffing outwards, like there's a little ring of fluff around each ankle. I've seen pregnant feet like this before and I am under the suspicion that it will get worse as time goes on. Luckily, it's getting harder and harder for me to see my feet so I won't have to know how ridiculous they look. Here's a picture I took on my phone (I actually had to lean forward to include my little toes)

just remember when your ankles get puffy so do your feet, so if you are some where otther than your home dont take off your shoes because they wont go back on! I learned that the hard way ahaha
You are so cute Kate!
-Fawn
Drink lots of water and go for nice long walks to get your blood circulating, it really helps with the swelling. Oh and cut out as much salt as possible! Hope you're enjoying your pregnancy! It all goes by so fast.
