Small world.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was reading your post and really connected with your thoughts about dressing during pregnancy.  The hormones mixed with the changing body bring out the most difficult side of our self-esteem.  I know everyone says we're doing this important, beautiful thing and we ARE.  But it's difficult to surrender our bodies to that 9 month period. We're definitely wired into our body-sense as women, and pregnancy explodes those feelings.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You're not alone and it does come to an end...but that journey through the emotions of body-loss are so real.  Anyway, sending hugs.  My husband had a few teary-eyed wife moments too. ;)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8151712359302526715/7900782360712663575/comments/default/5426181812654627638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8151712359302526715/7900782360712663575/comments/default/5426181812654627638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.undercovermother.net/2009/04/not-me-monday-i-never-realized-all.html?showComment=1243001232923#c5426181812654627638' title=''/><author><name>Sarahbeth</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14709650285140647144</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.undercovermother.net/2009/04/not-me-monday-i-never-realized-all.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151712359302526715.post-7900782360712663575' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8151712359302526715/posts/default/7900782360712663575' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-565371854'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151712359302526715.post-8392637468868528014</id><published>2009-04-07T18:07:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T18:07:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Don't feel bad.
