Check out those cankles!


I'm amazed at the size my feet and ankles have swelled to, especially by the end of the day. I never knew my feet could jiggle when I walk :) Sam and I were headed out to worm the goats last night and I tried to put my shoes on, something I haven't done for quite a while. My left shoe went on just fine, but even with the laces loose, I could barely get my right shoe on! I just thought that was pretty incredible (and gross) and just thought you would all appreciate me sharing it with you ;)
I went shopping with a friend today. Thought some walking might speed things along, but I'm thinking it just made my feet swell more.
I'm going to be painting our chicken house tomorrow. I've already painted it once, but our dern goats apparently like the taste of red paint and are chewing the wood to bits. Makes me mad because Sam just built it and he did a great job. So I got this good idea. I bought another gallon of paint and a jar of cayenne pepper. I'm going to mix the entire jar of pepper with the paint and paint every where the goats can reach. Hopefully they don't have a thing for hot stuff, or I'm in trouble.
Tomorrow is my due date. I'm not really expecting to have the baby on that day though. That's the due date the doctors came up with. From charting, I came up with August 3rd (Sunday). If I had to guess, I think I'll have the baby somewhere between Monday and Wednesday. Tomorrow would be great though. My doctor is even on call!

Hey Nikki,

That pic is pretty funny, but really, you take it easy and rest up for the little one. Can't wait to hear your story! Praying for an easy labor :)
