Be good to yourself part 2

[Jellypepper]

Thanks BabyStandish for posting this last week. I think we should make this thread a regular thing so I'm making another one(hope that's okay.)

We're all is mommy mode by now I think and it's so easy to forget to take the time for self-care. Tell me how you've been good to yourself lately. If you haven't been good to yourself lately then I insist that you:

Today I showered, did my hair, and ordered myself some flowers(they make me happy.) I'm hoping to get a massage on the books soon too. I also decided to extend my Mat leave by 2 weeks. I was going to go back when C was 9 weeks but I decided that I need more time and I'm taking it!

I got my haircut this week. Sooo much happier :smile:

[nemomof2]

I have a pedicure scheduled for next week and hope to get my first PP massage

[Deleted]

Took a bath and shaved today...in prep for sexxxxy time!

Wine, coffee, chocolate. A little quiet time with DS1 at my mom's.

As I was typing that, DS2 (3 weeks old) let out a big man fart. I guess he had to remind me that I still live with boys.

I have an appointment in two weeks for a cut and color! My mom normally cuts my hair, and I've only had it highlighted once, so this is a BFD.

[LaBellaVida]

I put my face on, and did my hair today.
I think next weekend I'd like to get a mani pedi, and within the next month or 6 weeks I'm gonna go get my hair cut. Thinking of cutting it all off.

I'm hoping to go back to practices tonight for my roller derby team. Let's hope no one has a melt down before 7:30pm and I can sneak outta here!

I got my hair cut/coloured and my eyebrows waxed this week. It was awesome, I felt so normal. My inlaws are coming out for the weekend and made reservations at my favorite fancy restaurant tonight. I'm so excited! Praying dd will sleep the whole time

[BabyStandish]

I showered and shaved today. I also cleaned the bathroom (seriously I love cleaning).

Things I plan on doing: clip my nails and paint my toes

[llambrose]

I made a hair appt for the end of the month.

I am hoping to shower today and catch up on some of my shows...

DH and I have a date while grandpa baby sits. This will be the first time I'm wearing real clothes in weeks

[FiliaRitae]

I had part of a Fruli beer. And I actually asked DH for help instead of trying to be superwoman. Unsurprisingly (he is amazing), I got the help without hesitation.

[CoffeeOnIce]

I left the apartment for the first time on my own, LO is 13 days old. The sun was shining and I got to buy a baby shower gift at target and drink an iced vanilla latte! Then, showered AND shaved my legs when I got back. Feeling like a million bucks now

[tkr7c9]

I plan to ride some horses with friends this weekend.... going to try to take it easy since I still get sore just walking to the mailbox lol but I can't wait!

[hazelnut]

I shaved and changed the sheets today. I can't wait until bedtime! There's nothing like smooth legs and clean sheets.

[raven]

I have an eyebrow wax appt tomorrow and I plan on washing our bedding this weekend.

[laceysbryan]

DH came home a little early so I handed off the LO, made some coffee, and put on makeup and fixed my hair. I'll even put on real clothes to go pick my mom up from the airport!

[grommom]

Got a delicious chicken burrito bowl today and have spent most of the day napping and bumping and nursing

[cherryfive]

I slept until 1 today (9 hours total sleep) and showered. Staying in bed to help my lady bits heal, cuddling with G and my kitty! Maybe I'll give myself a pedi on Sunday?

[BabyStandish]

Birthday cake milkshake!

[cherryfive]

I think I must make some cookies. I just realized I am allowed to have cookie dough once again! Ahhh so excited now.

[Jellypepper]

I'm obsessed with loose leaf tea and I just ordered a crap load of it as a special treat to myself. Yum yum.

[grumpycat88]

Took a relaxing number two and then showered while DH was serving the dictator. We may go for a walk later too

[kml218]

I put make up on and did my hair today! In two weeks I'll be getting my hair done for my birthday

[funinthenorth]

Today after ds morning feed I handed him off to dh and went back to bed for another 3.5 hours. It was great. Then had 2 cups of coffee, my parents came to visit, talked to a friend on the phone for longer than 30 seconds and tonight, I might even have a glass of wine after I read ds1 his bedtime stories and feed ds2. Tomorrow I might even have a shower ; )

[megpie5]

Today I showered, wore real clothes, went out to lunch with DH and went shopping for nursing tops and bras. I'm exhausted since I didn't get my afternoon nap, but feel like a real person again!

[rodiesmum]

Ate spoonfuls of ice cream last night while DH is holding DD2 plus gave in to my Japanese craving and had tantanmen, tendon, and iced grern tea. Yey

If in the mood might open a can of beer latr! Want some buff wings or napoli style pizza

[alfiesMOM]

I took an awesome nap yesterday. I haven't nap in over a week because I was running errands, had something going on, or J was on a weird schedule. So when both of my kids were down yesterday I went for it and got an awesome two hour nap!

[ladyprof]

I also was able to take a nap yesterday while the twins were sleeping and my mom was here to watch A, who of course sleeps all the time but not when I want to nap. It was glorious.

I have two massage gift cards from last Mother's Day that are still sitting around - I think I need to cash one in this week while my mom is still here.
