Swimming = Heaven

We hit the pool again last night and this time I decided to go into the water. Good lord, it felt amazing. I told my mom, "this is the first time since Christmas that my body has been completely pain-free". Of course, once I got out, the reality of pregnancy smacked me in the face. I felt like I weighed 900 pounds and had instant sciatic pain.

Owen is becoming pretty confident in the water. He's very observant of what the other little kids are doing and is interested in watching their swimming abilities. He likes to kick his feet, and last night he was pulling at the water (trying to paddle).

I had my 37-week appointment earlier this week. My hope of an early baby is pretty much gone. It looks like #2 has set up a couch and TV in my uterus and has made himself quite comfortable. An ultrasound showed that he's settled into the correct position so that was good to hear.

My sister just heard that her baby seems to have made itself quite comfy also - she's due just a few days before you. Start eating spicy food now and just don't stop.

See you soon!

I feel for you! I loved the pool when I was prego with Gwen. It really does feel wonderful. VERY glad to hear he has shifted around too. That will hopefully speed things along nicely.
