It throws off our already wacky brain chemistry. The first time I sought treatment for depression was just after I was injured and unable to run. There's something freeing about that wind.<br /><br />I'm thinking of you and sending prayer in the eve. I know it will all be worth it too - but that doesn't minimize how it feels. I know firsthand how stinky it is to know you just have to keep telling yourself it'll be okay. It will work out. I will feel better.melissa ellen parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08630579178457181537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-92065900358985271032010-04-10T05:36:13.963-07:002010-04-10T05:36:13.963-07:00I didn't want to exercise during pregnancy, bu...I didn't want to exercise during pregnancy, but I did often wish that my body wasn't such a huge blob. I sometimes think about Genesis and how woman will suffer pain in bearing children. I know the most obvious pain is the labor itself, but I also feel that pain is, in part, the emotional upheaval resulting from the self-awareness of one's body image during pregnancy.Apis Melliflorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109379329293289328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-65993862249037004752010-04-10T02:18:05.489-07:002010-04-10T02:18:05.489-07:00This could be a sad post (or melancholy-haha) but ...This could be a sad post (or melancholy-haha) but it's actually beautiful and touching - you must really love your children to go thru all this to have them! I made no sacrifice for mine in that way, but you give up so much of what you love, for nine whole months, in order to get that little baby in the end. And you know it's coming. And you still do it. How awesome.merelyLookinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00828600445268848542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-88453279555559727552010-04-09T18:11:11.276-07:002010-04-09T18:11:11.276-07:00Even though it still seems a long way off you'...Even though it still seems a long way off you'll soon be back in your "beautiful house" and running too.
