Hot mammas!

A while back, a deal was made that Natalie, Tanya and I would take a photo together in our swimsuits. It would be a fun thing and a chance to capture our bellies in the summer sun for posterity. Obviously, I must post this photo on the blog :-)

Like, hello!, we're totally gorgeous and rocking those swimming cozzies!!!! It was also very hot so we were pretty glad to be in the pool ha ha ha!!! Aaaaand, the best bit, our husbands said we're oh so sexy *blush, blush*

Seriously, I think all my friends are beautiful (no really I have BEAUTIFUL friends!) and the two beside me have taken on a whole other kind of beauty. Natalie is literally ready to give birth any day now while Tanya is exactly halfway through her pregnancy and they both look stunning!!! As for me, I'm still giggling about how teeeeeny tiny my bikini bottom is but glad that my boepie has a tan :-)

Swimming with a belly is quite interesting. It feels like someone has strapped a Pollyotter swimming suit to my middle and submersion in water is impossible. Swimming just doesn't feel right but floating on my back has become incredibly easy. I just try to keep upright and literally run in the water to keep moving. It's somewhat comical as I resemble a one-woman aqua aerobics class with no music. Or I push my arms up on the steps to support my body and then float on my tummy. Either way, as long as I can cool off, I'm a happy fish.

Now you're probably wondering if Wren likes the water. Considering that she doesn't move when I'm in the pool, we'll assume that she does. She's already floating in her own pool so she likely feels that I relax and welcomes the cooler temperatures I provide.

Speaking of Wren, she started making some big movements this week and she's keeping Belly Telly going for much longer periods of time. I try to watch as much as possible and I can now see when she turns onto her side, accurately feel exactly where she punches and her feet make little humps under my skin when she kicks. It's very cool!

(FYI - Belly Telly is what I call the entertainment I get from watching Wren move in my belly. You can tell I'm in the TV business when I name the show I get from within my uterus hahahahhahaha!!!)

This is my last post for 2011. We'll be ringing in the new year with friends including our pregnant posse (those of us who cannot drink, drink non-alcoholic champers together. Clever!). I have every intention of dancing tonight so Trevor will be on duty to capture the hilarity that is my attempt at "cool" dance moves.

Whatever you do, don't overdo it, just do it over :-)

We'll see ya in 2012!
