Last night I had a rare event---I was kid free and husband free. I originally was slated to go to a movie with a friend to a movie but plans changed, and I was on my own. But this wasn't a bad thing. I took full advantage of it knowing that it will probably be my last for awhile.
So what's a girl to do when she is on her own? Well get a pedicure of course! I sat there with my gossip magazines and enjoyed a nice pedi and had my toes painted a cheerful fuschia pink. I may or may not been hoping that it helped me go in labor as everyone says a pedi has been known to do that.
After my feet were nice and new, I decided to do a little shopping for the post pregnant me. I really just can't wait to be in normal clothes again! I feel like I rotate the same maternity clothes because nothing fits anymore. And I must say as I was shopping, I kept seeing myself in the mirror or window thinking, "Holy cow I look really REALLY pregnant right now!" I mean I feel like my belly is ridiculously out there and that people are probably thinking I am having a kid at any moment. Truth be told...I guess I could be now that this boy is fully baked.
Sometimes being alone is just what the doctor ordered :)
I'm planning on getting a manicure at lunch today! Sometimes we just need a little pampering and alone time, don't ya think?
ReplyDeleteOh gosh. "Alone"? I think I forget what that word means!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you had some time to enjoy yourself and your time alone. Hope it left you feeling rejuvenated!
Glad you got that time to yourself!
ReplyDeleteOh fun! It's always nice to have a little alone time with a busy little man running around. I'm so anxious to hear about baby Conley's arrival!!!
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean you felt some contractions????!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love alone time like that. My first thought is always to get a pedi.
ReplyDeleteOh, sometimes I feel like those alone moments don't happen often enough. I'm so glad you got yourself some you time.
ReplyDeletea mani and pedi is always a good thing. and add some shopping, perfect me time in my book!
ReplyDeletegood luck and take care. can't wait to see the little one here.
What is this alone time you speak of> :)
ReplyDeleteI love me a great pedicure!! And I'm glad you got some "me" time- it's necessary sometimes :)
ReplyDeleteYeah for some alone time! Sometimes we just need it and what better way to spend it. Sounds perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteAww most def alone time does wonders. Sometimes you just NEED that personal day to yourself!! Glad you enjoyed yourself plus some pedi!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, a few hours alone can be just what a mama needs sometimes! How many more weeks now? I can't believe you're so close to being a mom of 2!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some alone time. Every mom needs that!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you totally needed it! Glad you took advantage instead of heading back home (which I am sometimes guilty of doing!)
ReplyDeleteAMEN! I had a spa day (gift cards I was given from shower last weekend) and had a massage and pedi..best 2 hours I have had in a while..so nice to just be me, myself and I.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you enjoyed yours....and hope you bought yourself something post preggo fabulous! C
Good for you! I was going to ask about a pic of the pretty toes...and then I remembered pregancy belly. I don't think I actually saw my own toes past month 7 - LOL. so I am very impressed that you were able to paint your own!
ReplyDeleteglad you got some "me" time.
I am glad you got to enjoy some time on your own! :) Pedi is definitely the way to go! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me that I seriously need some tlc on my toesies! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah to a fun night to yourself...there is nothing better!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful along time you had! It sounds so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteThere is just nothing more relaxing that a good pedicure...especially when you are 9 months pregnant!!! I'm glad you were able to enjoy that and take some time for yourself.
ReplyDeleteHope you guys had a wonderful weekend!!
I forced myself to take some alone time this weekend and after it I felt so much better. Sometimes that's just what we need.
ReplyDeleteI am planning on getting a pedicure on Friday when Ben is off all day...I'm slightly hopeful it will put me in into labor on my own! We're in the homestretch!!
ReplyDeleteYes! I remember feeling the same way when I was pregnant- I never felt like I was so huge but then I would see myself and it was like, yea never mind.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got some time to yourself, it sounds heavenly!
I think it's healthy giving your self "alone moments" at times. It's okay to give your self a rest.
