While reading Zebrababy's response to me in my other thread, I thought she hit on something very, very important for me. I have been neglecting myself terribly! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> This pregnancy has been terribly stressful to me considering that this same time last year I felt my marriage was going great & we had been trying to get pregnant again after my miscarriage. So when I found out I was pregnant during our separation earlier this year, I had all these issues of this isn't how a pregnancy should be, my marriage may not survive, and to add financial problems to it all - I don't even think I recognize what happened to the person I used to be.
Normally when I go through a period like this, I pick up my Iyanla Vanzant books & go from there. But, I think I need a new book to read! So, does anyone have any good suggestions? I don't want to read anymore affair or marriage related material for a while. I went for a walk today (to try & get labor started, which didn't work & I'll probably be induced next week) and just kept thinking what happened to who I used to be? I have never compared myself to every woman I saw on the street wondering if I paled in comparison with her. Now - I do it all the time. And that bothers me! And Z - I will be taking your advice & doing more about me in my IC sessions.
Anyway - post any book that was helpful to you! I'll pay a visit to the library tomorrow & see what else I can find. Besides - I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to read since newborns sleep so much! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
