Yeah, those damn shoes. Joe claims to have talked to many people and gotten positive feedback. Meanwhile, I've made efforts to find out who those people are and undermine them. Seriously. I did with one. Not enough, though. I'm not sure if Joe wants to run in them, as it sounds more like he just wants to do his workouts in them, the mechanics of which he described in detail...uh, I don't remember. He said that in his disgusting military gym in the middle of Afghanistan, he has been TAKING HIS SHOES OFF AND DOING HIS WORKOUTS BAREFOOT to get whatever effect those shoes are supposed to give. I gagged when I heard this and began to anticipate him infecting our shower with plantar warts that I will have to have frozen off just like in high school when one of my sister's swimmer's friends infected our shower. (Deep breath.)
As for the running, I just ordered him some new NB 993s that he always wears, and those are not cheap. He better run in those. Now, the only way I might be able to get on board with the Five Toe things are 1) if he makes me feel guilty that I'm denying a dude who (at that point) is just back from deployment or 2) if he looks just so delicious that I don't care what he needs to keep working out. Word on the street is that Joe got obsessed with the Starz show "Spartacus" and looked up the workouts those dudes do, and thus has been doing the Spartacus workout. I watched the prequel to the series (with many of the same dudes), and holy shit, are they ripped!! We'll see what comes home to me. :-) If nothing else I can always pull the "babies are expensive card" and likely shut it down with that.
Speaking again of this pregnancy (hey, I'm not being annoying and cutesy, telling you my kid is the size of a banana now, which he/she is)... Anyway. So my feet hurt. They hurt like they do after a full day of walking around an amusement park or something. I noticed this today at the START of my workout. Now, I have been on my feet a lot more the last 3-4 days cleaning, baking, and generally running around like a mad woman. But, I also know that my hormones are causing my ligaments, including those in my feet, to relax and soften so to speak. Basically, what I'm asking here is, are my feet just going to suck until the fall, or do I need new walking shoes? Or both. Also, I heard some old wives tale about foot rubs inducing labor, and I'm anticipating foot rubs galore when Joe gets back. Is that a no go? Is a foot rub going to shoot me into labor and then five months of bed rest? Help me.

Your feet might get worse- especially with the summer months and you getting bigger.I think if you have a good pair of shoes you'll be fine.
As far as foot rubs.. I believe they say to avoid it just during the first trimester. But you're definitely gonna need one in your 3rd!
And since you mentioned it it your last post, I have seen those damn shoes EVERYWHERE. Seriously, yuck.
I've never been pregnant so i got nada on the feet hurting subject, I just hope they stop hurting soon :)
I loved both seasons of Spartacus, although the first was way better IMO. You should totally watch it & if Joe shows up with a bod like those dudes he totally deserves those funky toe shoes :)
I dont agree with your stance on the 5 finger shoes. Maybe I should keep my mouth shut but where would the fun be in that. I agree the shoes are ugly and weird however I know several people who have them and swear they are the greatest thing ever after you get used to wearing them. Oddly my Mom mentioned considering getting a pair last night, weird. Anyway I believe you have a loving hard working husband who has been dealing with a whole lot of shit and horrible circumstances over the last however many months. I propose you tell him hell no on the shoes and secretly buy them as a welcome home gift to show how much you love and care for him. just my 2 cents that I wont charge ya for and you probably didnt want :) Let us all know what you decide to do! PS I am pretty sure you are an equally amazing wife so after you spend that money on those 5 fingers for him why dont you get something for yourself as well. :)
Haha, you're right, Marcy. It's my soft spot - hard to deny a guy who was just deployed...and had a birthday while he was gone. I talk a good game, though, right? Still, there's a side note that remains in the back of my head - he didn't budget himself money for a gift for my birthday last year. I even cooked my own birthday dinner. Still, I've priced the shoes. I'll have him try them on when we go pick up his 993's. This is why I need a wife, which is why you're totally right again - I should get ME something. SAPPHIRES!! ;-)
And hell yes, if he looks like the dudes from Spartacus, I'll buy him whatever he wants. I really want to watch the actual seasons, but damn Starz took them off On-Demand. Need to sign up for Netflix...finally.
Glad to hear on the foot rubs. I will not deny myself then! And possibly, I need a new pair of shoes. Gah. $$$
I've heard good things about working out in the finger shoes. Just not so good things about running in them. I have a hard time telling Ryan no too!
I enjoy your pregnancy updates. I would rather someone keep it real, than tell me their baby looks like an alien with a tail and think it's the most precious thing ever.
My boss received a book today called "Go The Fuck To Sleep" and it made me think of you. It was hilarious and I think you need it!
HAHA Katie you do talk a good game lol. And Sapphires sound great! Oh and fyi my sister was going to cook her and her husbands anniversary dinner. She blew the oven up and voila she was taken out for her anniversary meal. Maybe try that next year for your birthday if you have to cook. (maybe not the best idea but it works, I should mention my sister did nothing to cause that it was a stove related problem)
