And the Best Husband Award goes to...

ADAM!!! *confetti*

Imagine my surprise when Adam presented me with a gift certificate to a local day spa for a relaxing PREGNANCY MASSAGE! woohoo!!! I had mentioned it to him forever ago how nice it would be, once I started to get bigger, to have one of these, and boy, was I ever right! And my wonderful husband remembered even though I had forgotten about it for a while. Aw!! Isn't he the greatest?!

Ok, first thing's first: I got to lay on my stomach! Oh, sweet blissful day! I think that was honestly the best part of the whole thing, haha. They put this huge hollowed-out pillow on top of the regular massage table and my belly just sunk right into the cut-out in the middle. Sooooo comfy. I have been a stomach sleeper for so long that it was hard to retrain myself to lay on my side, so this part was just heaven for me!

To be pampered like that at this point in pregnancy is just the best feeling. It sounds dumb, but at first I felt strange NOT thinking of the baby first, and thinking of only myself. Um... so I got over that feeling very quickly, LOL! But toward the end of the massage, I was lying on my back on the same hollow pillow, and I had the heavy blanket covering me, a warm sinus mask on my face, low music playing, a calm dimly-lit room, and it was so warm and cozy. I started to imagine that that's how the baby must feel in there. All floaty and warm, safe and sound and relaxed. At least I hope that's how he feels! It was just amazing. I was so relaxed the rest of the day.

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon...
