Body With Baby

After reading this post from Becca over at While You Were Napping I am smiling ear to ear. When I create programs, I create them out of passion. Passion that I desperately hope will translate via internet. I pour my heart into these new projects and then *hope* that the message is received and that women are blessed in a way that they may not even have known they needed.

Becca’s post warmed my heart and I’m so grateful that she took the time to write such a sweet review of my new Balanced Beginnings program.

And for the record Becca, I too have a few clients who LOVE telling me how much BIGGER I look every few days! I hear it as big = beautiful, big = healthy…and I’m sure they’re only referring to my belly right? Not the weekly growth of my backside that seems to be happening as well? 🙂

Here’s an excerpt from Becca’s post….

“pregnancy is this amazing, crazy transition from being (mostly) in control of your life and your body to having oh so much less. nine months of carrying a child in your belly, nursing, and then hauling a large toddler around the neighborhood in your arms begin to take a toll on the body. my body doesn’t belong to me. my aches and pains are evidence of a life lived for others.

but it’s hard. i’m not slim anymore. i don’t feel strong and fit the way i used to. i swear, every single one of my friends is a skinny mini. i’m tired at the end of the day. i haven’t run along the beach in years. my back hurts.

and in the midst of my beached-whale-state, my friend robin came along and created a beautiful prenatal pilates program, and i am telling you, it meets me where i am at. robin is a fellow alum from westmont, and while we didn’t know each other at school, i sure wish we had (once, years ago, we sat next to each other at a wedding reception, and i thought she was just darling, which she is). in the last two years we’ve connected through blogging and her online pilates programs, and i was so excited to find out that we are having babies within a few weeks of each other! robin has taken her balanced, holistic, and realistic perspective on fitness and applied it to pregnancy. cue the angels singing…
