a preggo girl’s gotta do what a preggo girl’s gotta do

ok, is this title grammatically correct? (head sideways, raised eyebrows) never mind… as d-day draws nearer, I decided to do something special for myself, something that has always been glorified by others and I just had to try it out… I pampered my fat feet in some lavendar goo (then felt extra girly and painted the toes champagne pink) and took an hour-long milky, soap bath. Yes, the time has arrived where my fingers and toes have swelled like I just landed back in Sa, where when I walk I can feel my inner thighs flap against each other, and where it’s become a great physical challenge to roll out of bed. Being confined to indoors the past 3 weeks has of course discouraged walking and swimming (bawh, we’re missing out on summer!) so I feel like a couped up bird. Taking that bath is the closest thing I’ll come to swimming for a looong time. Ah, the simple joys of being preggerz in war time.

Oh Sieni, you’re so close to giving birth! (I just looked at the countdown)! It must be a little hard being confined to home so much–but kudos on taking the pampering bath :) You deserve it!

O yes! It’s great isn’t it? I had a nice tubby this weekend too. Thought of painting my toenails, but I can hardly reach them without making myself pass out for lack of oxygen.

Good girl. Pamper yourself and your body. Little bebe can feel it too. It’ll also keep your mind off things. Lol @ the inner thighs flapping…girl, I have felt that almost all of my life. Haha.

Lots of love…
