Week 39 ~ Get a Manicure & Pedicure

During the few weeks before giving birth, your mind will definitely be buzzing with the million things you still need to do. I have one small suggestion that you will probably laugh at and may even call shallow.but it was one of the nicest things I did for myself in my last days of selfishness.

The week before my due date someone told me that I should take an hour and a half out of my day to go get a manicure and a pedicure. At first I laughed and said that I definitely didn’t have time for that sort of thing, but then I thought it over. I realized that I could definitely use the “me time”. After all, if I thought I didn’t have a lot of “me time” now, I couldn’t even imagine what was to come after the baby was born.

It was so nice to sit and relax with a magazine and get pampered for an uninterrupted hour and a half. My nails looked great and looking back they got more camera time after the baby was born than my face did. They were in every close up picture holding my daughter!! My toes weren’t a necessity but it sure did feel good to have my legs massaged in all my swollen leg glory!!
