Weekend Randoms 12/23 & 24

+1 for the feet getting bigger. Took awhile to go back, I ordered a size up in shoes for awhile and then one day I did and they were too big! But they did finally go back. It was only half a size.

I also second maternity leggings being amazing. I can't get by with my regular ones because they don't stay up...then the crotch in teh leggings slides down and its super annoying to have to fix.

@jomama1618 my sister is due 8 days before me!! We live about a mile apart so it’s going to be really fun. I really hope we have the same sex, but either way it’s cool. My mom realuzedvwe could have these babies the same day totally totally realistically and freaked lol

as for feet:
mine grew maybe a half size but it was gradual so I had shoes that fit but over time I bought bigger ones 

late preg with my oldest I had ridiculously bad swelling (but wasn’t pre eclamptic at all). I had to wear sneakers all my waking hours bc flip flops etc seemed good but the lack of compression made my feet so uncomfortable. In the summer that would stink!!!

Echoing the foot size thing.. I started last pregnancy with size 8 (8.5 in running shoes), and by the end of first trimester, I was in 9 and 9.5 (and sometimes wide width needed). My feet never went back, even when I got back to my pre-preg size/weight. That being said, *knocks on wood* they haven't grown at all yet this time around. I really hope I stay in 9/9.5, because it was heartbreaking to get rid of my extensive shoe collection last time around.
