Kiddie Pool = Preggie Pool when the lifeguard is off duty

I decided to take myself to the gym this afternoon. Not just to the gym, but to the pool. I have learned that the pool at Lifetime Fitness is typically full as it only has five narrow lap lanes. Praying that most people were eating lunch, I decided to chance it and take my swimsuit (which I also prayed I still fit into) and go to the gym.
Luckily, when I got there, there was only an Asian woman doing water walking in one lane and some weirdo just sitting at the end of another lane, so I actually had my choice of lanes. I needed to submerge myself in water as I am feeling the weight of Olivia at this point. I needed to relieve some of that weight. To my dismay, though, a couple weeks of not swimming has made me a weaker swimmer. That, or the fact that I am immense... Either way, I was almost immediately worn out and couldn't do the normal 500 meters at a time deal. I swapped a slow 200 meters and a 100 meter breastroke in between.
A guy in the lane next to me commented "I see you're swimming for two. I love seeing women with child working out." (okay, a little awkward.) "My wife got in the water a couple of times, but got worn out easily. I think it's great that you're swimming and working out, it's going to make the birth and recovery so much easier." (less awkward that he was married, I guess I can take the complement, and this guy knows more about pregnant woman and fitness than probably any guy on the planet.) So, I kinda feel a jolt of energy from my boosted ego and finish my planned 45 minute swim.
After I was done, I noticed that the kiddie pool (extremely large, shallow pool) was empty as there was no lifeguard on duty. I decided to just get in the 1'-6" deep water and just lie there. I noticed almost immediately that the kiddie pool is bath water warm. (hopefully from the heater and not the kiddies) So it's extra relaxing to just float in it...all by myself. It is a surreal and great experience if you find yourself ~35 weeks pregnant and can't get in the jacuzzi. The kiddie pool a great safer alternative and if you can get it all to yourself, it's the next best thing to zen.
