That was totally worth it!

RochelleN · February 2014

Long story short, DH and I had a horrible weekend dealing with our neighbors, and I am so over being pregnant it's not even funny. We've been trying to save up some money since I won't be getting paid while I'm on leave, so we've been really just sticking home and not doing much. Well today I decided that I've had it, and I wanted to get a mani/pedi before baby comes. So I drove myself (bad idea with how bad my back has been) to the mall, and damn it I got my nails and toes done!! It felt wonderful

and now I'm really glad that I did it.

Out of curiosity, what is everyone else doing at this point to relax and feel a bit better about being so miserable??

Nice!! DH actually told me I should get a massage today too, which really surprised me. But I figured I'd save that for if LO decides to be really stubborn on me!

I'm planning a pedi this Saturday for before my shower. And my hairdresser forgot to cut my hair at my last appointment, so she offered to trim & style it before my shower as well. I'm strangely excited for hot pink toenails!

DH gave me money in my Valentine's day card to get a mani/pedi which was I'm really looking forward to. I'm waiting another week or so though, because I want it to last through my L & D.

eating and eating and eating...someone needs to slap these brownies out of my big sausage fingers

keeping the house clean makes me feel pretty good and I buy myself a little something here and there. I'm really tempted by prenatal massage but I can get DH to rub me for free so I think I'll use that $ for something else. It's super cold and lousy here (northwest Indiana) so I've been listening to margaritaville radio and thinking about how fun summer will be. that usually puts things in a positive light! and oh, yes, the dreams of margaritas and sand.....

B-)

Got my hair cut last week. Getting prenatal massages every week on Fridays. Legs waxed last week. Mani pedi tomorrow. Lunch with friends on most days. I am thoroughly enjoying this finally

RochelleN · February 2014

Man all this talk of prenatal massage makes me really wish I had just gone ahead and got one! Although the massage chair during my pedi was heaven in itself. I told DH he should totally come with and get one next time

I've also been really big on the food lately! Sweets in particular! DH keeps telling me I don't need more ice cream, but really...I think I do

I had a pedi and lunch out with mum this past weekend and I have a prenatal massage in Friday if baby doesn't make an appearance before then.

I'm going to have my hair done tomorrow am. I will get my mani/pedi next week while my mothers are in town (something to keep them occupied). Other than that I have been getting my starbucks green tea with lemonade drink almost every other day to every third day as my little motivation.

Hair today and mani pedi sometime this week!

IdyllicPursuit · February 2014

I'm considering getting reflexology, a chiro adjustment and accupuncture! We'll see though...

htn1763 · February 2014

Massage yesterday, hair appt this weekend. Might get one more massage before he comes too

How does a hairdresser forget to cut your hair? And how do you not know it wasn't cut? I'm so confused.

We are trying to save everything we can right now too. I guess mine would be grabbing lunch with dh. I used to go to the chiropractor and get a massage on their chair there. I might go do that tomorrow. It's only 10.00 since insurance covers the rest.

CruiseGirl28 · February 2014

I'm getting a mani/pedi on Saturday. Also DH and I are considering getting a hotel room on Saturday night, so I can swim in the pool and take a bath (we only have a shower). I don't know if I want to spend the money though.

MA&CB · February 2014

MH booked a prenatal massage for me for tomorrow as a Valentine's gift. I did maternity photos yesterday, and I wasn't feeling super pumped about it, but I just got the sneak peak and I love them and look better than I've been feeling I look, so it was a nice little ego boost.

Right?! I was getting my highlights updated and she and I were gossiping. After she washed me out she and I got to talking and it wasn't until I was blow dried & styled did she remember that we hadn't trimmed my ends. I didn't even notice!

I just got a pedi on Friday. I'm eating whatever I please. And I'm going to be taking lots of showers in my amazing new shower! Rain head shower head and body jets. It's heaven!

jazzyexpo · February 2014

I want a pedi before this guy comes for sure, that sounds wonderful. Right now, I've been taking long showers every night, reclining in our new rocker recliner and getting back rubs from DH

Natty13umppo · February 2014

I'm scheduling something for each week leading up to my due date.

This week: prenatal massage (with a gift certificate! Whoo hoo!)

Next week: hair color (I'm going to ask for highlights that will look okay with grow out for the next six months....LOL....is that possible?? I have no idea when I'll get back...)

Also need to schedule hair cut (last cut was in October.... O_o ) and if baby is still inside, I'll schedule a mani/pedi. If I'm STILL waiting, maybe another massage...

I had my hair cut last week and a prenatal massage over the weekend. I went water walking today and am getting a pedicure tomorrow morning. DH and I are planning on going out to dinner Saturday for our last time before baby comes. Oh and eating lots of yummy unhealthy food.

pepperedmoth · February 2014

The pool. So much the pool. And hot-tub up to my hips --- enough to soothe my joints but not so much I worry about my core temperature and cooking LO.

ETA: Also, chocolate.

This may be a totally ridiculous question...but what in the world is water walking? I'm hoping it's as simple as it sounds...but I guess I've just never heard this term before haha

These all sound super awesome! We've really been trying to save money, so I almost felt selfish for doing this right now, but seeing that I'm not the only one kind of makes me feel better

Hot tub to the hips is a great idea! I have been staying out of ours, but loving the pool. Weightlessness is where it's at right now.
