I have started using my arms to help me get out of cars. You are a busy little wiggler in there, and sometimes you kick so hard my whole upper body moves! Getting excited to meet you.

Hi little one!

You kicked me in the ribs for the first time this morning. I was sitting at a table with some midwives and some doctors from the practice at a meeting, and I felt a little tap on my rib! I can't believe how big you are.

Your daddy wanted me to write about how it felt to go swimming last weekend. It had been quite some time since I'd been in the pool, and wow was it nice! You float on your own and do your own thing - it feels like I'm not even pregnant. My belly is a different shape without that gravity. Getting OUT of the pool, however, was another matter. I had to use the ladder rather than just my arms at the edge, and with each step I took out of the water, it felt like gravity was increasing - it felt like gravity was heavier than usual, but really *I* am heavier than usual! It didn't take me long to get used to it again, just a couple minutes, but boy will swimming be nice as the weather warms up and you keep growing!

Love,
Mama
