The Downside

So the most positive thing to come out of my pregnancy was obviously Mr. Lukas.

(BTW, can you tell I'm a little obsessed with the Instagram App on my new iPhone?!?!)

But I'd be lying if I said there weren't any less-than-positives occurring due to the pregnancy (although every single one has been well worth it!) 

For instance, I still have 22ish pounds to lose and can't fit in any of my pre-pregnancy clothes at this time.

I have some stretch marks.  They're lovely.

I can't yet wear my wedding rings again.

But these are all small potatoes compared to the biggest downside of all...

My feet have grown half a size larger.

Meaning my shoes do not fit. 

 Have I mentioned that I love shoes. (Some might say I'm obsessed).  I counted this morning and I have over 50 pairs of shoes in my closet plus more in a box under my bed.  (Yes, yes this is more shoes than any one person needs.  I have a problem.)

But I can't fit in any of these shoes. They're all too small now!

I found this out last week when I went to put on my black patent Cole Hann mary janes.  My toes hit the front of the shoe.  I almost began to cry.  And then I tried on shoe after shoe and most did not fit. 

Tear.

But there is an upside.  I have an excuse to go shoe shopping now!  And I began with these beauties:

You can never go wrong with red heels.  They're like a ray of sunshine on your feet.  They're making me happy today!!!
