low..

February 22th, 2011

that has been my mood this last week.. I fear my energy levels will not return for the rest of this pregnancy.. and I have so much that I want to do.. it scares me.. I have also realized that if I have a window-of-energy-opportunity.. I take it now.. before I would do a quick house tidy.. or start getting myself ready.. now I throw on some makeup remover.. hair in a pony.. and I am out the door..  that happened yesterday at babys r us yesterday.. I had my window early in the morning.. and I packed up and left Dust and Olive to eat our “days off breakfast” by themselves.. and it was heaven.. babys r us down here is a giant warehouse filled with crap you don’t need.. yet.. you must purchase.. and being there without a child was a treat in itself.. there is nothing better then taking your time to scour the aisles and make decisions based on the product.. and not your child’s mood of the day!

I have also started using my banked massages..  finally.. there was no way in my first trimester I was using them.. I tried and spent the whole time trying not to get sick through that little hole.. no thank you.. and now.. my package ends in two months.. and I have 8 left to do once a week.. when my body is aching for them.. 

every time my prenatal video ends.. it goes to the relaxation part where you lie  down and she talks you through your body.. she always ends the video with 

now imagine that someone is oiling your feet.. gently massaging and rubbing the souls of your feet with warm oil.. 

its like mental torture.. cause usually I haven’t showered.. its 11am.. and there is definitely no one touching the souls of my feet.. and so when I made my appointment with the new guy.. I was praying that he would just go for it.. I still flash back to my Gene Juarez appointment of ‘08.. best prenatal massage hands down.. this woman was taking my whole belly in her hands.. pulling it back and lubing it up.. releasing all the stress off my back.. it was magical.. I left her a phat tip and vowed to be back!!

so last night.. I waited all day for 4:30 when my time would come.. I was in the waiting room with my warm neck wrap.. and in walks this guy.. correction.. this man.. he resembled nothing of a masseuse.. I thought maybe he was the maintenance guy.. big.. manly.. 55.. just a man! I smiled and he left.. and I laughed because I thought this was my guy.. only for him to come back 5 minutes later with my chart.. 

it was hilarious.. I could tell I had a grin on my face because I was so taken aback.. and was wondering what undies I had chosen for that day :0 I decided to use the neck wrap for my eyes.. I wondered if he would be offended.. because its a pregnancy massage.. you have to lie on your side.. and i always have that awkward..

do I open my eyes?

do I make eye contact?

do I look at him while he is in front of me?  

its all to much.. so I thought I would just take it out of the equation.. and put something random on my face.. it didn’t work so well seeing how it was made of these little beads.. and every time he moved me half a millimeter.. this thing jingled.. and I was starting to get really hot.. I was already pregnant.. on a electric blanket with this warm bag on my face.. it only lasted 15 minutes before I threw it on the floor.. 

of course he was amazing.. I told him to pummel my body.. and when he leaned his mouth close to my ear to ask if I wanted my feet done.. I was almost embarrassed at how fast I yelled YES!

I stumbled home and right into a Calgon bath.. 

ahh.. days off are magical!!
