kerflop, it’s funny you should mention that…my MIL said her feet grew and I actually thought “Aww, how quaint!” and filed it away with “things so unimportant I won’t give them a second thought.” Sigh.

Oh man, I remember reading about the shoe thing, and that pregnancy might make my feet grow. And I thought p’shaw! Ha. A WHOLE SIZE UP. As if I didn’t already have large enough kickers.

Cheryl, no kidding! It seemed so pointless to get dressed in anything other than sweats when sweats were all that fit properly. And I don’t have that “hot mama in workout gear” vibe going. Not even a little.

C, oh my god, it’s so true. I am not happy about the foot thing. Not even a little. My husband keeps saying “Just think of it as an excuse to go shoe shopping!” which would be lovely if the increased foot size came with free footwear.

“Eagle-eyed readers will remember the sad, sad day last year when I realized none of my pre-pregnancy shoes would fit on my suddenly huge and plank-like feet*,”

This is the kind of thing that nobody tells you about having a kid. I wonder how often this kind of thing occurs. My feet are already huge, I can’t afford any more foot girth.

Congrats! Nothing, but nothing fit me after my pregnancy. Somehow, the very act of getting dressed in clothes that fit and look good on us makes us much more willing to greet the day … and feel part of society.
