28 weeks pregnant, and i finally got my butt over to the local pool for some laps!!

i had my midwife appointment this afternoon and convinced myself that this was the perfect excuse to go for a swim afterwards. i know that the third trimester can be tricky – you get slower, everything is sore, joints stiffen up and you can really have a miserable time. so i decided to embrace it, let’s get moving (slowly) and take care of yourself, tracey! (and let’s face it – the $9 prenatal yoga dvd just creeps me out – it looks and feels like the 70s!!!)

it was good to be in the water again – i haven’t been swimming since i was about 32 weeks pregnant with Jasper. hopefully, if all goes well, i will try and swim at least once a week for the next 8-10 weeks and then rest. today i did about 30 slow laps, which wiped me out LOL, next week i’ll try to do the same or a few more.

p.s. appointment went fine had a blood test for iron and they’ll call if the results are showing i’m a bit low.. i’ve been taking iron supplements and eating more red meat and leafy greens, so i don’t feel as tired as i did before – but you never know!

baby girl is head down currently, she may or may not stay that way. fundal height is spot on 28 cms. blood pressure good, no complaints

p.p.s. no, there are no photos of me, pregnant and in a swimsuit. LOL.
