paint their own toe nails:
the big toe was, by far, the hardest, as you can tell by the looks of it.
the good news? i didn't have to watermark this pic because i don't want any credit for it whatsoever.
oh, and don't be jealous of my super long monkey like toes {my big toe is over an inch and a half long}. they come in handy {wait, am i allowed to use the word handy when referring to my feet?!? hmmm.} and can pick up a plethora of things that fall on the floor {which is especially nice since the belly is in the way these days}.

Hi Carissa! this post made me smile. :) and laugh... you are too cute. I hope you're having a sweet day!
xx Love & Aloha
Oooh you went with a dark color....I'm so proud LOL....Love the color....um wait when I paint my toes they always look like the big toe one and I'm not pregnant LOL....
I think they look good and I'm impressed being your 9 mths pregnant and did that good of a job....if I would have tried when I was pregnant with Kelcee I would have painted my whole foot LOL
xoxo
Summer ;0)
Hahahhaha...I have long toes too but I've never tried to pick stuff of the floor with them :)
Have to try! The nails look good...I am not pregnant and believe me I can’t do it as well as you...It’s always all over the place!
Kisses, sweetie
I totally use my toes to pick things up...people with short toes should be completely jealous o us:-)
LOL! Too funny! Is is sad that don't do a much better job when I'm not pregnant?!?
Oh my goodness, by the looks of it we almost have the same feet! I have super long toes too. So maybe we should start a club? Haha. :9
I awarded you! Check out my blog for more details.
Xo.
Haha that is to funny this made me laugh...but don't feel bad I use my toes to pick things up as well..
Haha this was great. I remember the nurses in L&D looking at my toes and being so proud of me for having done them myself - they just didn't know I huffed and puffed my way through it! Oh, and the whole using the toes while pregnant thing? So handy. :)
haha! You poor thing! You need to let the hubby take over at this point ;0) I give you credit for attempting it though, I don't know if I would have done as well as you did!
bahaha. let kelly paint them next time. you made it look like hunter did it :)
my big toe is massive too and i can also pick up things with my feet...it is VERY "handy"
OMG you are so hilarious :) Speaking of being full term preggers, don't you deserve a professional pedicure?? Just sayin!
Aw you poor thing! You are too cute! At least the other toes look fab! <333
I have monkey toes, too. I am constantly picking things up with my feet and I can also pinch the heck outta someone with them. Glad to meet a fellow 'monkey'. ;)
nice Carissa, nice. At least most of it made it to your nail and not the actually toe.
Bless your heart, that is a HARD task to try to do when youre pregnant! You really didnt do that bad of a job though. Just come to GA and I'll paint your toenails for you! Oh and I love picking stuff up with my toes too. Its a fun skill haha!
Awwww. too cute! I am in serious need of a pedicure. Hope you have a great rest of your week!

aww this was kind of funny but in a cute way :) good effort! :D
Totally understand you on that! I left the same nailpolish on my toes for over a month because the thought of bending over to repaint was too much. I finally had my mom help me when she was in town last weekend so I didn't have to go to the hospital with ill-painted toes.
Impressive that you did it yourself! I am contemplating putting a second coat on my toes so they don't chip but i'm not sure the reach will work. :)
Haha! Aww! Go get a pedicure! You really deserve it!!
Haha! I think they look fine! It's not that much on your big toe that you messed up on. =)
I have super long toes to and can do some pretty impressive things with mine too :)
Oh girl - that's hilarious! Call a girlfriend and get her over there to paint your toes, bless your heart! I have super long toes too. My brother calls them chimpanzee toes.
LOL!! you must just go get a pedicure! with dustin and caitlyn i was pregnant two summers in a row and got a pedicure at least once a month. :0) i even spent a ridiculous amount of money on one right before caitlyn was born (seriously it was 80 bucks, but lasted almost 2 hours) and as i was getting ready to push, my doctor and nurse were gushing at how cute my toes were. so i guess it was worth it. i however wanted to 'gush' something else. lol. :0)
That is talent, and they honestly look pretty good for a prego doing it haha...I had my mom paint my toes last weekend because it was a no go for me!
I have long toes too haha, people call them finger toes!
LOL. I tried to paint my toes when I was pregnant and couldn't, for the life of me, do it! You go girl! A for effort!
You did a great job! I remember just a few months ago I was doing the same thing...
Awwww!!! I'd come over and paint them for you if we lived closer. I JUST painted my toenails black as well. And truly, I have toes exactly like yours. Toe twins... lol. <3
haha. I love it! I would've just kept them plain jane! In fact, I did when I had B! I plan on getting several pedicures this summer though, since I'll be preggo in the middle of summer this time!
Aww! You still did a nice job though! =)
HAHAHAHAHA! Carissa, you are HILARIOUS. Come to think of it, it DOES sound difficult to paint your toe nails when pregnant...Hm.
HAHAHA! Of course you don't want credit for this picture. HA!
I have monkey toes too. Except their all crooked with huge toe nails. o.O. I would love your toes if I were you. They're a lot cuter than mine. (the second toe of my foot is slightly longer than the first toe...o.O)
Have a lovely day, my friend.
--Bekah
I completely agree with the others that said either you deserve a professional pedi, or your husband should take over from here on out... You are the cutest! And I can completely relate to the long-toe thing- I am constantly picking things up with mine!
Too funny!
And I have long toes too & use them to pick up a bunch of stuff! HAHA!
You def deserve a pedicure. I think you did well for being pregnant though.! Nothing a little Nail Polish remover won't help.
hahaha too funny =) I have long & skinny feet and I hate how long my toes are; glad to know I'm not alone!!
Haha! Yes, I remember these days. It feels weird after you have your baby and you can actually maneuver and do normal things again!
omg that was too cute though!
if it makes you feel any better...
your feet look amazin..no swelling that i can see!
me i don't get as lucky...w/baby #4 i had tree trunks! :o( kind of hard to sit and rest w/them up when you've got others to take care of!
rest of momma...she's almost here! woohoo
My toes look like that sometimes after my paint job and I'm not even preggo :) Cute!
At first I looked at this on my Blackberry and I thought that it looked fine! But now I see what you're saying! The nail itself looks fine. Just put some nailpolish remover on a Q-tip and clean off your skin and you'll be good as new! OR use it as an excuse to get a pedi!
Hahaha! At least you gave it a go;)
Aren't long toes the best!?!?! You can pick up so much stuff with them...and come on. They just look better than having short nothing toes^_^
your are to funny, what a cute post... especially knowing that a cute baby bump is the cause. WINK WINK! Jenn
This picture made me chuckle just a little. That's how mine looked towards the end with Addaline because I was too cheap to go get a pedicure and was determined I could do it myself! Ha Ha!
You're getting closer to meeting Miss Sage! I cannot wait to see what her sweet little face looks like :)
xoxo
hahah!! you just made me laugh. it will all even out after a couple of day!
HAHAHA! That's what my toes look like anytime I try to paint them. I've got some pretty big feet myself... Tyson always makes fun of them. Hah! You always make me laugh and put a smile on my face!! Hope you have a GREAT day!!!
I painted my toes the other for the first time, and it was hard! And I'm not pregnant. You have to be kind of flexible and have good hand eye coordination, which I do not. So I think you did a way better job than I could have!
Absolutely HYSTERICAL!! I love your monkeytoes and I'm so impressed that you are still able to bend down to paint your toenails! I needed a good laugh this morning, so thank you! I have super ugly feet, so if we were in a foot modeling contest, yours would win hands down, even with this polish job, lol!!! We should have an ugly feet meme, lol, talk about random, lol!
Carissa, you make me laugh!! I love this post...and come to think of it, I'm not good at painting my toenails at all!
Keep on posting, friend!
--Hannah
hoooow in the world did you paint your toe nails? im only 31w and can not bend that far AT ALL lol!!
that's awesome that you at least tried!!
Hahah this was a funny post!! I have pretty long toes as well that allow me to pick up things when I try. Maybe too much info but we are talking about feet. Sending you a hug!! XO
Haha... you're too funny, Carissa! This post made me smile. But really.... I'm pretty bad at painting my toenails. I never can get the big toe to look right. ^_^
Happy Wednesday!!
~ Lindsay <3
You totally cracked me up! I love the fact that you don't hesitate to share the real you. Gives the rest of us some hope! :-)
My toes are super long too and my second toe is bigger then my big toe...and that same toe is almost as long as my pinky. Can I wear peep-toe heels? not with out looking like a raptor dino!
i think you did good...that's how my toes always turn out and i have no excuse.
i have monkey toes as well....my mom reminds me all the time. thanks dad ;)
At least you can still REACH your toes! I'm actually impressed with how far along you are. Your feet don't even look swollen yet!
HILARIOUS!!!
I find it difficult to paint my toe nails anyway! I cant even begin to imagine how difficult it is when pregnant!
Well done for getting it that good!
xxx
haha, not too shabby for having a baby in between you and your toes! they're sure prettier than mine which are, umm, still half-missing.
you are hilarious! the only time I'm allowed to spend money on monthly pedicures is when I'm very very pregnant. awh kinda miss those days. haha you are almost there. :)
you are toooo cute!
your little black toes made me smile. i can't
imagine how your reached them. i remember
trying to tie my shoes. aaaaaaargh.
not long now!!! :)
Too funny! I love how you said you left the watermark off because you didn't want credit... LOL I have long toes too. ;)
wow, i can only imagine how difficult it would be to paint your toenails with a baby in your belly!! you are hilarious! i'm totally going to steal that picture and give you TONS of credit for it haahha! =P
oh dear!!! my stomach hurts from laughing!
hee hee :) YOu did great! That's still better than I can do not full term preggers! haha! really cute ;)
hahah - you are too funny!!
So funny!! Go treat yourself to a pedicure girl!! You've earned it!!
this is incredibly funny!
hilarious! you are so cute!
This post was so funny, it made me smile today. :) Your blog is beautiful by the way and it is so awesome that you know Manda! Isn't she the sweetest! I've known her since elementary school, wow...time flies! I can't wait to read more of your posts!
Love,
Michele

This just made me happy.
Haha. You are too funny. I always wondered if this was possible and it's obviously not. Well... perfect excuse to get a pedi at your local salon. I'm sure they'll give you a lovely foot massage as well. ;)
p.s. I love how you attempted to do it yourself instead of asking your hubs. I would trust myself more than mine to paint them at full term. Haha.

HA! That is so funny! I remember painting my toes while pregnant. It was not pretty!
I scare my husband by using my claw feet!! LOL!
haha, guess I need to get hubby practicing ahead of time so he can paint mine when I'm pregnant. And for the record....I have long toes too...ugh. Seriously annoys me...but I like how you're looking at the positive about being able to pick things up with them. I've always thought piano might be a good trick! ;)
Your toes look awesome. Maybe your husband could help next time? That's always sweet. You are super sweet! Long toes are awesome. I enjoy this aspect of toes as well. As soon as Sage comes and you have two lil ones you can STILL use your toes. It's like an extra set of hands!
About the cloth diapering... no judgment for those who don't. But i do think it's easier than people think it is! I use rumparooz diapers, and they are as easy to use as disposables. The only difference is you wash them! It takes a couple of days to get used to it, and then it's so easy! :) Saves tons of money too.
Hilarious! My toes aren't crazy long, but I can pick stuff up too. :)
I remember painting my toes at the end, though, because I thought,"So many people are going to see my feet!" Yes. That is what they are all there to see. ha!
hahaha oh no!!!
but hey if it makes you feel any better, you painting your nails while pregnant is still better than me with no pregnancy!
sooooo no worries!!!
haha.
Haha!! You always crack me up. :) I love your posts. My toenails look like that EVERY time I paint them and I have no excuse whatsoever besides being purely uncoordinated.
i love this color.
and yes i am a little jealous of your toes because mine are all tiny little squares.
so rock those handy toes!!
love it! you crack me up. haha.
haha--- ok that is just too funny! Love your blog and i am happy to have stumbled upon it!!!
I think you did a great job! I couldn't even bend over while pregnant and I couldn't get anyone to paint my toes for me (unless of course I wanted to pay to have them done). blessings1
All the MORE reason to HAVE to get a PEDICURE! Go get on girl! You need one NOW and every month after for the first year of her life!!! I think the sole reason that I shouldn't have been allowed to paint mine was because of how I looked trying to do it! Not pretty!
How are you? It's been a while, I've been a bad blogger :(
Ohmigoodness! I just realized I forgot to put your button on my blog! How could I be so thoughtless?! I can't believe I forgot to put it up...it's going up now though, sweet lady! :-)
lol, i remember those days, just painting your nails is a work out...i'd be huffing and puffing by the time i was done :)
Haha! Too funny! Really, I don't think you did too bad of job, considering your condition! My sis-in-law has my bro paint hers when it comes to this, lol!
Ha! My toes look like that EVERY time I paint them! So, naturally...I don't paint my toenails anymore. lol. :P I'm not cut out for that sort of thing.
Have a lovely day, my lovely friend. :)
--Abigail
Funny!! Been there and done that! Hope someone helped out!

That is way too cute! I remember that feeling, that last month the belly gets in the way of everything! I think you did a pretty good job on those toes!
haha! that's actually what my toes look like when i paint them without being pregnant!
haha that was me a few days ago!! i had a moment to myself..so i tried to give myself a pedicure... i had to take breaks because i could barely bend over very long with my preggo belly!!
Hee Hee Hee... this is funny! However, when I had my babes, I always had my toes painted ~ Figured it would be something nice for the doc to look at. HA!
Hehehe... You silly silly girl! :) Thanks for making me giggle!
Hi Carissa! I've been seeing your beautiful face around the blogosphere but haven't got a chance to visit until now!
So glad I did! Your blog is so cheerful and yes, I am quite envious of your monkey toes! Lol (Mine are short and stubby)
Have a blessed week!
its time to enlist the help of hubster.
thanks for the laugh.
At least you still take the time to paint your nails!
oh my gosh, that is hilarious! i can't believe you attempted it! Looks pretty good considering =)
... and your feet aren't swollen- that is awesome! I didn't have ankles by the end of my pregnancies ;)
Ha! You go girl! At least you can still SEE your toes, right? In just a few short weeks, your toes will be gorgeous again, I'm sure! Or you could just treat yourself to a pedi :-) Happy Thursday!
NOPE!~ You shouldn't! That is hilarious girl. Go get a pedi, you deserve it!
So I just kept seeing these comments from "Carissa @ lower case letters" and I'm like hmm I need to check this girl out! I love that you took a picture of your preggy toes!
Hey...thats what my toes look like and I'm not preggy....hmmmmm...I think I'm doing something wrong....
Lookie here--I'm the 100th comment. Love that!!
Haha! I can't wait till this day, then I can get a pedi whenever I want :)
That looks like something I'd do on a regular basis! ;) I love having flexible toes, I pick stuff up with mine all the time!
