Up to week 32 now. Since last time, I got a pre-natal massage, my computer completely died and was resurrected, we’ve gone to all 6 childbirth prep classes, we’ve created a baby registry, my parents visited for a weekend, and we had a morning together talking with our doula. And I’ve discovered swimming. Even better than the water aerobics (at the YWCA’s rather cold pool), there’s a swimming pool at the university gym, about a five-minute walk from my office. It’s shallow and just for lap-swimming, but wow, how wonderful it is (and quite a bit warmer than the Y’s). I can move fluidly and stretch in all directions, and I can get some actual exercise. I think swimming is going to save my sanity these last few months. It’s pretty much the only time I’m comfortable and what I look forward to more than just about anything else — including sleeping, which is no longer comfortable. Sigh. Things are moving along. Two more months to go (give or take).
Week 32
