Day 51



Day 51 - Little treats of being pregnant

Pregnancy is such an enjoyable time for me. I love dressing up (even looking at PINTEREST) for cool preggy looks and every change in my body is hailed, most especially by my husband. He can't help but notice me transforming into a woman and he can't help but voice it out. As a proof of his virility I suppose, he compliments me in his own special way and teases to make me laugh. Odd it may seem but between us, those personal jokes just make mine and my baby's day complete. The attention and support my husband gives are beyond my expectation. And I'll forever be grateful. Both of us parents-to-be can't help but feel EXCITED (LITERALLY) EVERYDAY.

As to much of our anticipation, we see to it that we are ready for everything. Sometimes, we can't help but feel so excited it turns into frustration. Hahaha!!!! Nonetheless, we always wrap up our day with the thought, it's better for our bun to get cooked and done as how it is supposed to. In addition to completing everything we need, we distract ourselves thru sports (my husband) and by remaining stress free (me). So, since my husband is the most familiar with my bodily changes, and he now sees that carrying a baby somehow challenges the mom's self-esteem, he asks me sweetly, "Baby, do you want to go for some pampering? Like in a salon for a make over for your hair or the spa for light body massage?" At first I perceived this as; "Uh-oh! Do you think I need a make over badly?" And then he clarified, "Of course not! I just want you to feel good because I am not sure if you're OK with these changes that's happening on you, physically. I will pay for whatever you want to do." It was my chance.

"Sweetheart, let me think about it."

So I was going over what I could give myself for a treat until I realized I am having a hard time bending over the other day to cut my toe nails so, 'AHA!'

I told my husband right away and so, from 5 months up to the present, I consider going for a pedicure (which is a luxury to do here in Hong Kong UNDENIABLY! compared to the Philippines that I learned to perfect how to do it on my own) when I have to. This just reminds me of how I monthly did it in the Philippines from the time I started earning my own money. This is one treat I never fail to have. But considering the price there for the service, I would have complete hand and foot spa with manicure and pedicure with the price Hong Kong offers it for just both manicure and pedicure. CRAAAAZZZYYY EXPENSIVE!!!! I consider it impractical if I'm going to adapt to that lifestyle here.

So, today, i get to choose Purple as suggested by the pedicurist to match my earthly skin tone.
