All I did was itch all day long until I discovered that ice made me not so itchy. So I would sit with my feet up and put bags of frozen peas or corn all over my stomach and ankles. It was not always possible to sit for too long because like you I already had a toddler but it really did help a lot.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02233742815053179948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-34694047532613061532008-06-25T09:53:00.000-07:002008-06-25T09:53:00.000-07:00I got cankles a couple times while I was pregnant ...I got cankles a couple times while I was pregnant and I flipped!

I've been rocking them with sundresses out the ying-yang. They really do do something to offset a cutesy dress. I love 'em.

Luckily, I'm not itchy anywhere else and no legions/itchy rashes which are when you worry. (Or with Pre-E you can have itchy hands and abdomen...)<BR/><BR/>Re: buckles. I went with the shin-highs and they have a zip up the back so no need to deal with buckles. We'll see how they jive with the canks.

I'm coming to you from New York City where the summers might not be "as" hot as California but I think they might be stinkier, uglier and more humid! A couple of weeks ago it was 100 here with like 75% humidity. Luckily my apt is equipped with AC and I can just veg on the bed, when not at work, and enjoy the cool air but I do have to work and I don't own a car so I commute by foot and so far the only thing that is comfortable enough for the 20 miles a week I walk are Teva flip flops. They aren't as fashionable as gladiators but they are amazingly comfortable and go well with skirts. Good luck bearing the heat of the summer!
