oh the changes that make the miracle of life possible ...

So as my belly gets bigger and bigger, and I get more out of breath for no reason at all ... getting dressed, talking too much, brushing my teeth ... no just kidding its not thaaat bad but sometimes it feels that way.  Anyways I'm reminded of the stress and changes that your body undergoes.  While my body is making room for the the growing little girl, all my organs are getting pushed out of the way, hence the shortness of breath for seemingly no reason at all.  And the hormonal changes that make it possible to make us living incubators for 9 months are stretching out, relaxing my ligaments and tendons, making the impending labor possible, but at the same time taking away the stability and strength of my joints particularly shoulders, hips, and knees.  Sometimes it feels like I'm fighting a losing battle to keep the strength and stability that I do have by working out and strength training but then I think what would I turn into if I didn't do this???? the encredible blob?? eekk, scary scary thought!!!  So I decide: keep up the workout, maintain my sanity and stability (in my joints and in my life) and use the baby weight to lose the babyweight!
