Preggo Boot Season

No I don't own these (yet), but I'd rock 'em!
It's Boot Season now, but a sista won't dare wear her boots ... This preggo body barely wants to wear shoes better yet ones with high heels. And no, I'm not talking bout those lil 2 inch heels. I wear 3.5 inch and above especially when it comes to boots. Maybe I like being taller. Maybe I'm just silly. Maybe I don't mind the risk to my feet, my posture, my back, my knees, my body when my shoes are the bomb! Maybe, just maybe whatever ... Point is, I wanna wear my boots, but this current expansion project has me fearful of tumbles in flats, never mind heels. I have pretty good balance on a good day, but with this bulging tummy, I just can't seem to keep myself upright without quite a bit of back strength and concentration. SO when determining whether I should don the boots, my common sense says "NO!" And because my common sense and I are extra close, I listen because it just doesn't make sense to cause myself extra anxiety and stress attempting to stand straight in some 4 inch heels when I don't need to and my body is already working overtime for our little expansion.

Oh well! Hopefully, I won't miss the entire boot season since clearly it's cold up here until July. The question is will I have a fear of dropping our little bundle of joy wearing them ... hhhmmmm?! We shall see because when a sista gets back to working out, I'll be sure to include balancing workouts so that it won't be an issue. And yes, I am already planning to work out after Kiddo's arrival because if I don't, I won't start. Y'all know when you don't plan, you plan to fail ... so yeah. I won't be that mommy. If anything, this kid will be my motivation to be better at working out, eating nutritiously, and anything else to take better care of myself so that they have a good role model in me too (daddy does pretty well at working out - gotta work on his "nutritious" eating habits). No kid of mine will be sitting around being lazy eating us out of house and home for no reason ... no sirree! Plus, we got plans for this kid which includes plenty of sports and having fun with all of that extra energy that kids bring. Yeeeaaahhhh buddy!
