Yesterday was just so nice! I decided sometime ago that I really wanted to schedule a "Me" day for myself before Baby Ross arrives...a day, spent alone, doing exactly what I wanted to do... So, that's just what I did!
I started the day off yesterday by playing Sudoku...(yes, I was playing it again!) Breakfast was scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast, lovingly prepared by Mom... Afterward, I went for a walk around the neighborhood in the 35 degree weather...(I love the cold!)...then I came home and took an extra long shower and did some pampering... I got all "dolled up"...ate a quick lunch...and headed out the door... I was off to do some window shopping at a few stores here and there...and I took my time... But, what I'd really been wanting to do took place over at Barnes & Noble... I wanted to be one of those people in the store...just sitting and relaxing and reading a book in one of those giant comfy chairs...the people I see every time I go in there and always wish I could be like, but I never seem to have the time or inclination to join them... So, yesterday, I made it my goal to do just that... I went in...found a couple books I was interested in...bought them...and sunk myself down in a chair over near the travel section... It was wonderful! I read through the introduction of one book...then, switched over and started reading through the other one...all the while, savoring the smells that always make me smile while I'm there - fresh brewed coffee and new books... After spending a good while there, I drove over to my 3pm appointment - a prenatal massage my mom had set up for me as a gift! It was heavenly! The massage therapist worked and worked and worked on my back and especially my shoulders...and I feel SO much better... Thanks, Mom, for thinking of me! After the massage, there was only one thing left on my "list" that I really wanted to do... I'd been craving a Wendy's Frosty for the last few months and just had never stopped to get one...so I was off on a quest to finally set my craving to ease... And, after wanting one for that long, it sure did taste mighty good! I think I must've inhaled it... The rest of the evening was just spent relaxing after such a wonderful day...
With less than three weeks now till my due date, I'm not sure when the next time will be that I'll get to have a day like yesterday... So, I'm extremely glad and grateful that I was able to enjoy myself the way I did...

You look great. You wear an extra human very well, I must say.
I'm so excited for you guys!
Your "Me" day sounds great! Yes, definitely enjoy your time right now. You won't get another one for at least 3 to 4 months, before life is normal again.
I had a prenatal massage too. It was great.
You look great!
