The Spa

On Friday, I went to the spa. My friend Amber and I went together (at the prodding of my hubby who earned MAJOR brownie points for sending me). I have never been to a spa for a whole day before; I've gotten facials and manicures but never the whole shebang. We went to Spa Sydell, which is supposed to be one of the top spas in Atlanta, and boy, was it nice!
I started out with an hour-long, full body pregnancy massage, followed by an hour-long signature facial (if you've never gotten a facial, I HIGHLY recommend it!!), then lunch, a deluxe manicure, deluxe pedicure and custom make-up. Talk about pampered!

And yes, you did read correctly that I got a pedicure. Most of you know that this is a huge breakthrough for me, as I have major phobias when it comes to feet. I just can't stand people touching my feet. But I think they were trying their best to break me of my phobia, because I received not one, not two, but three foot massages during the course of the day. The fact that a facial includes a foot massage doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but whatever. I have to admit that after I got over the fact that strange hands were rubbing my feet and I forced myself to unclench my teeth and take a deep breath, it was nice. And my toes look very pretty now with their bright red polish....

So now I'm relaxed and stress-free (yeah, right!), and ready to have this baby. I hope my nail polish lasts, because if I do end up having to endure all the indignities of labor, at least my toes will be pretty when they are up in those stirrups!

I'll update tomorrow on my doctor's appointment, I should find out whether or not the baby has turned, and if I need a c-section or not.
