As our baby grows, Kesh has been finding her own ways to ease the burden of a growing belly. Right now, her favourite thing is to swim in the ocean. The beach is a little rough but the ocean pools are perfect. We've been every day this week. I can see the way it relaxes and calms Kesh. The swelling in her ankles goes down and her body temperature returns to something closer to normal.
We love the water and have talked about heading down to one of the pools during early labour to help Kesh through the initial stages.
As we left the pool a few days back, an elderly gentleman arrived. Removing his shirt, he grinned and informed us that he'd heard of these water births and if that's what we were there for, he wasn't getting in.
We assured him we were just there to swim. In a few weeks though, who knows :)

Ha, that's a pretty awesome old man! I went for a swim today and was reminded how much i love an ocean swim at this time of year. Hope you're having a great Easter!
ReplyDeleteReal, proper, bountifully pregnant. Water soothes all during labour, so yiur idea is a good one.
ReplyDeleteWe were in your home town today, having a wander on our way down south. I told the kids, "Tim lives here" and the immediately knew who I was talking about. Not bad nearly two years on... You obviously made an impression!

You should have let me know you were coming down. And it was only last year. Can you believe that. Ten months or something.
Deletelots of swelling is usually followed by a baby girl...just saying.
