The Pampered Princess

Yes - you did read it right.  I said WATER BOTTLE MASSAGE.  This is simple, cheap and it is a treat for two!  My love and I recently discovered this one.  Here’s how it works…

First, get yourself a bottle of Ozarka Spring Water - the bottle density and shape are perfect.  Don’t refrigerate the water - keep it at room temperature.

Next, warm yourself up with a nice hot bath or shower - you know the kind that leaves you with the need to cool down afterward?  Always in the past I would end a hot bath by laying down under the ceiling fan. 

On this day, I had a half empty bottle of room temperature water on the night stand.  I was so toasty from the shower that it sounded appealing, so I asked my love to roll it down my back beginning with my neck. 

You can’t imagine how nice it felt on my warm skin.  It was cool, but not shockingly cold - very nice.  We took turns for the next 30 minutes or so - rolling the bottle down one another’s backs and buttocks.  It was soothing and relaxing - a very nice finishing touch to our precious together time. 

I highly recommend it!

Give yourself permission to think about just YOU sometimes.  With all of the baby excitement and inquiries about when you are due, you may sometimes miss the times when you got to think about yourself.  Sometimes — not all the time — but sometimes, go ahead and get yourself a big bowl of chocolate ice cream.  Don’t do anything unhealthy, like put back a six pack and a few doobies, but do allow yourself a treat now and then.  After the baby is born, you may feel like you disappeared to everyone including yourself.  Make sure you give yourself some attention before your bundle of joy arrives! 

Here are some common things that every pampered princess should know when she is pregnant.
