I am so relieved I went to see her today though. I never know when you should ring a midwife and I'm always a bit reluctant as I don't want to be wasting their time but I knew I would be worrying myself stupid unless I did this morning. To be honest, it really shocked me last night when I looked down and saw how swollen my poor ankles were, they had completely disappeared. I got such a fright I couldn't even finish my pancake and, believe me, it was delicious with ice cream, strawberries and mint chocolate syrup.
Ben knew that there was something up with me last night and when he woke up this morning the first thing he did was run to me and say "Mummy how's your leg, you ok now Mummy?" which made me feel so proud of him, he really is the most caring, sweetest little three year old. On a funny note he had me in fits of laughter yesterday pretending to look like me, here is his attempt.

The worst part of the whole cankle thing is that I can barely squeeze my converse on now and I can totally forget about tying them up. The joys of being pregnant eh? Time to get some comfy new shoes I think. At the moment I am craving comfort, especially clothes as my bump is getting bigger and bigger and my tops seem to be getting shorter and shorter to accommodate it. I have noticed that there seem to be a lot more choice in maternity clothes compared to last time I was pregnant with Ben over three and a half years ago. In fact, a few maternity things may just have caught my eye on Vertbaudet today when I was browsing for stuff for Ben's room and wound up in my shopping basket - Ooops..*Disclaimer: This post contains a paid for link.
