No… I hadn’t planned to post a picture of myself 29 weeks pregnant in a bikini.
But since I already had it on to go for a swim downstairs I thought I would go for it and I figured my hair and makeup would be a mess after my swim. I do have to toot my own horn a bit though because I think I look pretty good for being over 7 months pregnant in a bikini.
Moving on…
For months my sister has been telling me how great swimming is when you are pregnant, and after saying I would do it for months I finally went swimming tonight and I realized what I have been missing. It was wonderful just floating around the pool that was the perfect temperature. I plan to do this atleast 3 times a week, if not every night after work. It is a great way to relax after a long day of working, or at least part of a day working hard.
As my belly is expanding, baby girl is growing more every week: She has reached 3 pounds and 17 inches long which means she is very close to her length at birth. Baby girl will be double if not triple the weight she is now by birth. The weight baby girl is gaining now is coming from the fat that is accumulating under the skin. The kicks and rolls that I am feeling now are going to become less noticeable as she gets bigger and I will begin to feel jabs and pokes from her elbows and knees.
First of all – you suck. I have never looked good in a bikini, but good for you tooting your horn – you do look good.
I told you so about the swimming. It is GREAT. That is why I went 2 days a week starting at 12 weeks with each of my pregnancies.
I have learned the error of my ways and will continue swimming for the rest of this pregnancy, especially since the pool is just downstairs.
