I love this thread! I'm not doing so good with treating myself (aside from food), so I'm going to follow along for some ideas. @PeggyOlsonFTW - I like your idea of some looser workout gear.

First ultrasound 2/19 - one baby with a heart rate of 127! EDD 10/11/2016
Yesterday I (finally) scheduled an appointment to get my haircut and eyebrows done. This weekend I plan to go shopping for some new shirts for work that I can wear now and still wear in a few months.
Once I get through this first trimester I'm treating myself to the prenatal Stott pilates kit IF I keep up my daily pilates and squats workouts. So far so good!
Being bored at work and freaking out every morning about my pants not fitting caused me to sit online for quite some time today ordering several cute dresses. Mainly ones for work that i can wear now and should stretch with me for a little while. It's been a de stressor and plus, cute new clothes!

I ate an entire order of Crazy Bread from little Caesars for lunch after our ultrasound. I've been really watching what I've been eating but darnit, one cheat day won't hurt! .... Was so, so good.

I've been treating myself to eating whatever the f@ck I want. I've been spending way too much money on food. Probably around $100 a week. Once I get something on my mind, I have to have it The good thing is that I've actually lost weight.
Girl scout cookies. I was actually looking for the cookie stands when we were out shopping this week. Found some at Autozone! Mm mmm those damn thin mints
I'm thinking about doing a Groupon for a house cleaner. In addition to having a 1-year-old, my H and I also host two international students, of the teenage boy persuasion. And I cannot with the mess right now.

THIS. My husband actually brought it up last week. With a 1 year old that NEVER SLEEPS plus first trimester exhaustion, the house just doesn't get cleaned. Ever. The second he said "house cleaner" I was like OKAY and went online to get quotes. Fuck scrubbing toilets if I don't have to!

I did laundry and cleaned the first floor of our house for the first time in two weeks this weekend. Total waste of time. It's already dirty again. Maid sounds heavenly.
I hired my cleaning people back, and its been GLORIOUS. Why I get rid of them from time to time I don't know. It feels too indulgent I suppose since I stay home, but not having to clean makes me so happy. Which makes my husband happy. Which makes my kids happy. So I deserve it damn it.
A get-away with some other mommy friends in a couple weeks. We rented a beautiful condo in the mountains for the weekend. While I won't get to partake in the hot tub or alcoholic beverages, there will be good food, great company, games, and lots of laughs. Will be nice just to get away from it all for a couple days!
My husband and I are enjoying a trip this weekend to visit with some friends we haven't seen in a long time. Its a cross country flight, and I'm a little worried about nausea on the plane, but hoping it won't be too bad because thatbhas been worse this weekend! As long as I am feeling good, I am eating whatever I want while I'm on the trip

My H & his friend have tickets to some kind of races in Austin this weekend (4 hours away) & he invited me to ride along. Not to go to the races, but to spend ALL weekend away from home & relaxing. While he's at the races I plan to 1) Sleep late, 2) Go for a long run/walk 3) get a pedicure 4) SHOP! (There's a huge outlet mall nearby & some fun flea markets) & 5) Eat whatever I want! I almost talked myself out of going but if I stay home I will likely feel like I need to be productive & clean house & such. And... the chance to just get away & do whatever I want by myself is probably not gonna happen much in the near future. Think I should take advantage while I can!
I got pizza last night. And I ordered a second pizza to bring home and put in the fridge because pizza is the only thing that sounds good right now. (side note DH tried pizza for the first time and he loved it!---he's tanzanian and we're in tanzania so this isn't as weird of a statement as it sounds)
DH mentioned my birthday the other day (it's in April) and his ideas for a present. He said he wanted it to be something about me unrelated to baby bc everything will be about baby soon. So I told him instead of a physical gift, I want a date with him! Now he's planning a secret weekend getaway and is soooooo excited about it, it's really cute
