GC, I don't have personal experience, but my sisters' both went up a shoe size after pregnancy.
Yep - my feet went up half a size. (My BOOBS went back to their original size but my FEET got bigger? WTF, fairness?)
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Don't be - my pre-preggo shoe size was a 9. I did not need bigger feet.
(But I'm not really surprised, since right after D was born my feet were so swollen the only shoes I could wear at all were my Croc thongs. If my next child is born in the winter I may not be able to leave the house.)

This one is around the corner from us as well, and DAMN that's cheap. It looks like some serious updating would be in order, like pulling up that orange carpet on the stairs. But if it has good bones, it could be done on your own timeline.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yep - my feet went up half a size.
Me, too. Boobs also went back to regular size.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
How's the job market in Salem?

That last one knocked my socks off at how cheap it is. Hmm. What's wrong with it? I mean, it's ugly as hell inside but that's (relatively) easily fixed. All that hardwood!
Get in on the tanking New England real estate market while you can!!!

GC, I also love Softt's for the red shoe! It's unanimous I think! And my fave browns were the Frye's and the Nine Wests.
Emily, when are you going to Cairo?! How exciting! A friend of mine is going there to teach for 2 years in August (and, yes, I've gotten her in touch with Fay. Unsurprisingly she's in TOTAL LOVE!)

Well, you could easily take the train in to Boston or Cambridge, as I do to a myriad of job possibilities.
There are also suburban office parks in Danvers and Beverly (and Peabody I assume) AND, during the halloween season you could get a job yelling about BURNINATING THE WITCHES!!!! Seriously, they have a lot of period acting-y jobs during June-Nov.
