I have all the lifeguards worried!

As I mentioned before, I've been able to keep up swimming even as I really start to slow down and feel absolutely uncomfortable at all times.  It's funny, my swimming has actually been improving, I can go longer and longer and feel stronger all the time in the water. 

Cochrane is a small town, so you quickly get to know the people you see all the time, not to mention that people are just very friendly and talkative here.  That added to the fact that being pregnant seems to elicit constant smiles and conversation from strangers.  (I admit sometimes I get sick of people always smiling at me, and I just want to be invisible for a day - impossible with massive belly!)

People at the pool have their bets on what I'm going to have, most say it's going to be a boy, I still think girl...

Yesterday Colin and I learned that what we had previously been joking about, was actually true...  We always joked that the lifeguards had a code word for when I entered the building - like "watermelon", so they would be on their guard for sudden emergency water birth! 

Well Colin learned from the pool manager, that the young lifeguards did in fact get quite nervous when I arrived!  I think this is so funny, because I remember the same exact thing happening to me when I was a lifeguard long ago.  There was this women that swam through her pregnancy and with each progressive week I would get more and more nervous about her actually going into labour! 

Now I realize that the chances of this actually happening are super low.  But it makes me want to suddenly clutch my belly, doubled over in alarm, just to keep them on their toes!

Here I am 37 weeks looking spectacular in my stylish maternity suit!
