Ditto everyone else. I was running 3.5 miles every other day for months leading up to this pregnancy. I took the first trimester "off," and my stamina went to hell in a handbasket. I haven't even gained more than 8 lbs either. It's just all that extra blood circulating through our bodies. Even now, I do moderate exercise 4x/week, and while walking up 4 floors of stairs (12 flights) at the hospital, I almost stopped along the way. I was PANTING!!!
Good practice??? Hee hee hooo.

"You've probably heard the expression 'I believe in God, just not organized religion.' I don't think people would say that if the church truly lived like we are called to live. The expression would change to 'I can't deny what the church does, but I don't believe in their God.' At least then they'd address their rejection of God rather than use the church as a scapegoat."
