so i found a social volleyball competition within our area, at long last! But of course i'm preggy now...1 month. When i was talking to the LORD ages ago about finding exercise that i would enjoy. He found me bellydancing and he gave me this place to look up for volleyball. Myles and I drove past it but saw nothing advertising volleyball. But my cousin who also wanted to play found out that some of her friends from her church were in the competition. So i called the phone number (duh, i know i should have done this before!). But i was easily put off and i allocated the task to myles :-)
Now i have entered a family team and our 1st game is tonite. Exciting!! But being pregnant i have to wonder at how wise i'm being. The LORD gave me this to help me become more healthy because he knows how much i love volleyball. I should have done it before...is it better late then never??
I know that if there is one thing i can do well it's protect myself from a volleyball. I know how to let it bounce of me without injurying myself - good body posture. And these are beginners we are playing against so very few of them even know how to spike a ball. And I don't plan to spike or leave the ground myself. All this tells me I should be fine and I need to exercise while preggy because my body is not in the best shape.
I read in my baby bible that volleyball is fine with caution. So I'm doing it and trusting that the LORD will watch me as I remain dilligent in my efforts to safe guard my body. I may not have started this pregnancy healthy but i will try do better during it.

You will be fine! first of all, let's trust the Lord for your pregnancy and new fitness plan. Second, I am not a volleyball player but I did many physical things like restrain emotionally disturbed prek kids in my special ed class while pregnant for my first. I mountain climbed for both pregnancies and did many other things all within reason. The only thing I didn't do was lift heavy objects after month 6 as per my ob/gyn's instructions. I will keep praying for you Tali....
Thanks Faith! Volleyball is nothing compared to all of that! You are definitely inspiring to me! I thank the LORD for bringing you into my little world.
I am praying for your sister too.
I read on one of my baby websites, that women still play basketball and netball, which are more contact sports. So I'm sweet!
Thanks again, tali
