I knew there were many side effects of pregnancy. Morning sickness. Stretch marks. Mood swings. I had them all and I was happy to see them go away once James made his debut into the world. Well, there is another lovely side effect that plagues new Moms after they give birth - one that I was hoping to avoid. Bigger feet.
What is this? I know that swelling happens...believe me I know.
But I thought that after the baby is out the swelling goes down. Apparently not. I mean, don't get me wrong...my feet are back to a normal size, but not my pre-pregnancy normal size. My size 8 foot is now a half a size larger rendering my beautiful shoe collection useless. Boo.
During a nap this week, I took the opportunity to try on every single pairs of shoes in my arsenal. I'm happy to say that some made the cut - more than I thought.
Sadly though, some did not. In some cases, it was a good thing. I had been holding on to some kicks that needed to be kicked to the curb a long time ago. But for others, it was a sad day. I know that these lovelies will make someone else very happy since I decided to donate them rather them toss them in a landfill.
So what does this mean? Well, it means it is time to go shopping again. There is lots of space in my closet that needs to be filled with the latest and greatest shoe trends, so forgive me if this post is short, but I got to get my big feet to DSW right now!
