We have 9 weeks to go and with an achy back, nesting up a storm and a seriously short supply of patience with my wonderful husband and challenging (but delightful) 16 month old I'm thinking maybe I need some "me" time.
I would love to hear what did you do for yourself as you neared Pop Day to feel wonderful and relaxed?
I love these ideas - especially the Mommy Day turned Couples Night plan! Thank you, and I'm so glad others have made the last few weeks as wonderful as they can be!
So I had a downright rotten day a couple days ago...achiness, bad news, baby not napping, ruined dinner, the works...and you know, when my husband got home I mentioned that I could use a shower. He said great and that he would take the baby out for a walk. Then he walked away and I finished some list I was working on. The big ole sneak scooped the toys out of the bathroom, hung my robe on the door, towels ready to go...wow...but it got even better. When I got out of the shower, with hubby and baby gone, I found tea sitting on my nightstand next to my book and the bed warmed by my rice pillow.
Bliss. Pure bliss. So while I still think if I get cranky I should maybe do something nice for myself, I sure enjoyed being pampered by my ridiculously sweet husband. I knew he was wonderful, but this was out of the world amazing. THANK YOU to all of you! 8 weeks and 6 days to go!

I GOT A MASSAGE FROM MY DULA WHILE IN LABOR that's what i did for myself LOL daddy/hubby never really did ne thing like that for me, but hey we're divorced now lol
what would i do if i could do it over again??? hmmm dunno what's the biggest stress of it all??? MONEY so i'd probably have someone pay all my house hold bills for me, while i turn on the radio, and soak in a hot bath tub with melting beads floating around me, talking on the phone to a friend gossiping about that cute cop that is off limits to both of us cause we're both married and so are we. then make my husband take me out on a date and shower me with compliments and fuzzy cutsie flirtatious looks and bottom slaps, then take me home to my couch, and shower me with pop corn, a scary movie and pop and pig out :)
sorry got carried away...i'm was in heaven, now back to reality lol
go to a spa at a hotel and get the treatments and then a nice lunch and have hubby meet you that evening to stay over night. leave the 16 mo with the grandparents!
Tell hubby youi need a day off of your life. He can make all your meals ahead of time and clean them up then take the little one out for the day. Then you soak in the tub, get that massage, mani and pedi, read, watch a good movie or do whatever you want. Good Luck and congrats on number 2!
Massage & Pedicure for sure!!! You deserve it.
Oh my-with my first I did everything...stopped working 6 weeks b/f and basically nested, read a ton, shopped, got mani and pedis, massage. With the second, nothing! If your back aches you should get a massage and a good pedicure with lots of foot rubbing!
I never got any of that! LOL
And I have 2 kids... and my tummy was HUGE and everyone thought I had multiples in there. I was so uncomfortable....
Just tell your Hubby, you want time to yourself... so if he will, to babysit your child. Tell him he must!
He helped make the baby!
Prenatal massage followed by a pedicure!
