A week or so ago, I figured something out. I'd been feeling kind of down and discouraged, sort of groggy physically and emotionally. I couldn't figure out a particular reason, and just assumed I was less energetic because this is my second pregnancy instead of my first. Then I realized, I'm not treating my body right like I did the first time. And if my body isn't getting treated right, my emotions are going to drag too.
So I started taking care of myself physically. I stretch every day, take my vitamins (when I remember) and exercise three or four times a week.
Sure enough, it has lifted my spirits too.
After all, how can you resist being happy when you this every day??!!

| Leg stretches |
 |
| Toe touches |
 |
| Splits - she can go almost all the way down before she falls, I caught her midway. |
 |
| Leg and lower back stretch. |
 |
| More toe touching - it's one of her favorites. |
 |
| Arm stretches |
What can I say? It's hard to be down in the dumps when you're laughing!

She's almost ready for tae kwon do. You just need to teach her how to do jumping jacks now. ;D
I'm glad you're feeling better. Exercise makes a big difference for me, too.
