I don’t like to run, so have no idea as what they’re talking about,\u00a0but swimming gets me high<\/a>,\u00a0no any other sport could or would, tennis doesn’t even come close, so I know what they’re talking about.\u00a0 The feeling after a swimming is that you can take on the www, whole wide world, \ud83d\ude42 !!<\/p>\n

Yesterday I visited\u00a0Dr. Kim<\/a>.\u00a0 He’s in a relax mood and chatty.\u00a0 Talked about his recent trip to China.\u00a0 “For additional $200 [from Seoul], we could tour Beijing for 5 days, hotels and three meals and sightseeing\u00a0included.\u00a0 How did they do that is beyond me.”
\n“How’s Mrs. Kim?”
\n“She’s fine. Thank you.” She used to dab in when the nurse\/receptionist wasn’t around who’s\u00a0a very pleasant tall lady.
\n“Still playing tennis?” We used to have chat on tennis all the time.
\nA chuckle, “no, she’s in golf now.” We all laughed.
\n“Do you still swim?” When he first learned that I was swimming during my first pregnancy, he was horrified, if not annoyed. “What? You’re swimming? Don’t anyone see a pregnant lady? They allowed you to swim?”
\nRelax, Dr. It’s good for you. Toward my third trimester, he predicted that my delivery would be easy,
\n“Although I have no scientific proof ..”
\nI swam almost every day till my labor started. That morning, I stayed home, instead at the pool, watched Pete Sampras beat Andre Agassi in Wimbledon, while enduring the mild contraction. Pete went on to win his first championship there, followed by six more – Wondering what does Pete do with all those trophies for? Ladies can use theirs to line the dinner plates, :). One suggestion Pete: planting flowers. .. .. When it’s time to give birth later,\u00a0Dr. Kim rushed in to the hospital, “hold on .. .. hold on ..\u00a0let me\u00a0put on my gloves.. ”\u00a0 It went\u00a0so fast, I almost regret – could I at least see what the color of the wall paper in the waiting room was?\u00a0 The nurse first sent Golfer to\u00a0register on another floor\u00a0then had to page him in PA to come back, if he wanted to see the birth of his child.\u00a0 Dr. Kim wasn’t pleased, “where’s father?”\u00a0 One of the nurses explained, “we didn’t know she’ll be this fast .. is her first ..”\u00a0 Did I savor the experience?\u00a0 What experience?!?!
\nMy second pregancy\/delivery was the same, and he turned around to be a fan of swimming, at least for expectant mothers.\u00a0 During the subquent years, he would often ask if I still swim and how’s my swim, but never about the babies he delivered.\u00a0 Mrs. Kim would ask about kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
