Baby Violet

I finally cashed in my ProSports Club Prenatal Massage! It was amazing! Thanks Jen, Sara, & Linds! What a delight! I'm feeling much more relaxed and less sore... The Club is really nice, especially the Spa, complementary Women's Lounge, and Women's Locker Room equipped with hot tubs, sauna, steam room, tons of showers, tons of space to get ready, and Pureology hair care products!!! Yummy! I have to say that I should have done this a long time ago. I'm not kidding. New Goal  - before we try for our second baby - I want to save up a for massage fund - enough for about 10 massages - and here's how I'd break it up: Two massages toward the end of the first trimester, at about 12 weeks, then 3 massages for the second trimester and 4 for the third trimester. I only had two professional massages this pregnancy - totally should have done more. The ProSports Club is spendy, so I recommend splurging on one ProSport massage experience and bringing a friend to share it...

Which means that I'm around 39 weeks...which also means...not much else! Since the midwife doesn't do manual checks to see if your dilated or effaced at this point, since they have a "less intervention is better" motto, we really won't know when she'll come until she comes! Although, I've had some people comment on how I've dropped over the last days/week - which for all I know is a merely encouragement - which of course, I don't mind at all because positive is always better - especially now when I'm at my heaviest and I'm just so anxious to see who's eyes my baby has! All I really know at this point is that I'm really looking forward to meeting her and seeing her sweet sugar pie angel face and the faster I realize that she's on her time, the easier it will be for me to be patient! :) Non-Glamorous Reality: Carpal tunnel and swollen ankles, feet and hands, oh yeah, and where did my chin go? Sleeping is not coming very easily ...
