20.2 Weeks Along - My Feet Stink & It's the Hormone's Fault!

I have never in my life had smelly feet before....not until I got pregnant. And to be honest, not until I started wearing my summer-time shoes again that I can't seem to live without. My adored Teva sandals which I paid far too much for, but love for numerous reasons, are seemingly betraying me.

I wear them constantly and walk all over the beach with them and when I get back to the house I just dip them in the foot wash by the door and wash my feet before coming in and I'm good to go.

Well that hasn't killed the smell that seems to be eminating from my poor feetsies!

I put my feet up when I got home from running errands earlier and noticed something that smelled pretty foul. Now, let me just say, before I go any further, that I wore these sandals all last summer and there was no smell. Wore them on the beach, to the mall, down the hall, in the car, near and far....ok, I'll stop now before I go totally Dr. Seuss. But you get what I mean.

Not once did my shoes or my feet stink. And now, well there's no delicate way to say it....

MY FEET STINK!

It was so bad that I had to wash my feet in the shower and then when I went back into the front room, the stinky-feet smell was still there....it was because my shoes were still in the house. So I put the damn things outside!

It's gotta be the pregnancy though. My feet, no matter how often I've gone without socks in the past in ANY kind of shoes have never smelled bad before.

I even went so far as to get some stinky-feet-be-gone stuff to spray on my feet and in my shoes. We'll so, I'm not the brightest bulb in the box, and I sprayed my feet down after I got done washing them off. Then I went into the kitchen to make some popcorn and flopped back down in the front room and noticed little white footprints coming back from the kitchen and on the area rug we have in the front room. Now where could those have come from? Then I look at the bottoms of my feet and they are solid white! They stink-be-gone stuff was NOT white when it came outta the can!

I swear, some days I just can't win for losing!
