The boys are finishing up their swimming lessons tomorrow, but today I decided to take Elsa in the water as well during their lesson. Since we're not members at the pool, we had to pay the daily fee, but I'm certain that it was worth it.
You see, I am now nearly 7 months pregnant...though I look like I'm 8.5 months...and I don't remember ever going swimming before when I was this largely pregnant. It was wonderful to feel so weightless in the water...relatively speaking, of course. I was holding Elsa nearly the whole time, but it still felt so good. In fact, it felt so good that I didn't even notice - until it was time to lift myself out of the water.
Ugh. Then I realized just why I was enjoying myself so much and remembered what it felt like to hoist around this ballooning body.
Yep, we're definitely shelling out the $7 again tomorrow. And as I did today, I'll be leaving the camera at home.

I must say that I was eying the senior ladies in the water aerobics class while my kids were at their lessons on Saturday. I swam regularly while I was pregnant with Kathryn -- it feels so good! It's a little trickier now that I'm responsible for 3 littles who can't swim now. Glad you got to feel weightless for a bit!
