Preggo Con

I had an interesting moment of feeling trapped in my body yesterday.  Have you ever had that?  It was awful because there was no where to go and nothing really to be done about it.  I can't hop out and be the self that  I sometimes feel like (or sometimes remember).  Because this is my body.  This is what it is right now.  And I'm attached to it.  Not that I would have it any other way.  I do like having my body and all.

But I really felt trapped.  Trapped in a body with an expanding belly, with hurting hips and an aching upper back, that couldn't run or move very quickly.  How many people feel like this every day?  Because illness or injury has altered and deformed their body.  So, I know how lucky I really am.  Doing it all in the name of having a child yada yada.  Knowing that didn't stop the feeling of being trapped in that moment though.  Today, I am trying to use my body in ways it still is capable.  And when it's all over I'll try to remember WHY I hate carrying around extra weight.
