Ahh Spa...

Oh how delicious... My wonderful family (especially my sister and my momma) got me the sweetest gift - a morning at a maternity spa. It was so great. I've never been to a spa or had a "massage" before, so this was a real treat. What a thoughtful gift!!! (If you've ever been in your third trimester while working full-time, you'd know exactly why this was just the thing I needed!)

My massage was called the "Mommy-to-Be Massage" and it was about an hour long. It's designed to "relieve tension throughout your body with focus on your lower back and hips. Gentle yet effective techniques will relieve tension in areas under particular stress, such as lower back and hips, while our unique illipe butter cream deeply moisturizes and firms the skin. As a final touch, a fresh concentrate with cold pressed mint juice is applied to the legs and feet, relieving water retention and restoring your energy....it's the perfect gift for you and your new life within." Sounds great, doesn't it? It was.

The funniest part of my experience was laying in the scooped out foam bed. It's so you can lay on your belly without squashing your baby. My little fella didn't know what was going on and totally flipped out for the first 20 min. of the massage! I guess he figured there was more room this way for him to swim about. Crazy kid. It was all I could do to keep from giggling on the massage table. I figured the masseuse chick wouldn't like that too much...

I can't thank my fam enough for this incredible present! Both of us, me and the little guy inside, really enjoyed our day.
