Balancing a Melon

One of the things I am totally looking forward to after giving birth (and post-healing and stuff) is getting a decent hot bath. I haven’t had a hot bath since the end of October, and since the pregnancy began, I was forbidden this luxury for the safety of the baby. With our new bathroom all pretty (and remaining pretty given my weekly cleaning sessions!), I am so looking forward to getting a bubble bath again. Maybe even with Baby Bean (when she’s a little older and not so slippery and I’m not so panicky about her safety, that is)! Right now, the only thing I can think of that would make bath time more pleasurable for me is if I had one of those walk in bathtubs. Getting in and out of the bathtub is beginning to prove difficult, given the weight in front of me and my feet and legs being so sore. I can’t describe this feeling at all… I guess what I can sum it up to is if you were trying to use two toothpicks to balance a watermelon.

Yeah, after much thought, that doesn’t sound like fun, does it? Imagine how it feels being the toothpicks.

Oh my God, I remember that. My knees where the worst. I had horrible knees from playing softball and it killed me. Grant massaged them every night with icy hot for me. Heh. :) By the way, I haven’t had a chance to tell you that I love the new look.

I miss being pregnant :o (
I loved taking baths with Hunter, it was (and is still) one of my fav things to do, it’s a whole ‘nother bonding experience, I’d say. It’s takes some practice to master showering together though, but I’m sure you’ll master it :o )

Helen!

I haven’t spoken to you in ages. Well, at least, for a while haha :)

Pregnancy is difficult, so when all is done, be sure to treat yourself to that bath :)

I don’t know what temperature you like when you take a bath but I’ve taken warm baths when I was pregnant with Connor. I think anything similar to jacuzzis are no-nos but I don’t think a warm bath would harm the baby.
