Taste of Heaven

I am now 24 weeks along and I am starting to get uncomfortable. My back mostly. My lower back on my left side is making it painful just to walk. I didn’t help it any when I spent all day Saturday intensely cleaning my kitchen – I got the cleaning bug. I cleaned from crown molding to floor molding and everything in-between and by the end of the day, I realized my mistake. I ended up on my back-side resting all of Sunday and Monday. So today, I called the spa down the street from my work, and it turns out that they do maternal massages and they have an afternoon appt. I snatched it up and booked it down there for my 2 o’clock. I have to say, it was marvelous. If you haven’t had one, and it’s within your budget, I highly recommend getting one. First of all, you get to lay on your stomach with the aide of their special pregnancy pillows. It was heaven, now I have to figure out how I can get some of those pillows. The masseuse really worked my lower back and when it was all over, I have to say I noticed a difference. It’s not perfect, but at least I don’t walk like Egor anymore. Secondly, they really pamper your feet which were really sore and I hadn’t really paid them any mind until she started to work on them. Now they feel terrific. At the end she wrapped them in hot blankies. MMMMM , a wonderful sensation. It was a bummer to have to come back to work cuz now I am totally relaxed and not really focused on work. So in the future, if I do splurge for another one, I’ll do it at the end of the day when I can just go home

I'm a blogger failure

I have come to the conclusion that I suck at blogging. I love going out and reading and posting on everyone else's sites, but when it comes to mine, I have no idea of what to write.

The pregnancy is going normally and I really have nothing to report. Just monthly doctor visits, moving to bi-monthly visits next. I have gained weight a little faster than I'd like, but I am not too freaked out. DH came home with the stomach flu so now we are quarantining him so I don't get sick too. I can't imagine what that would be like.

Oh, there were 2 new happenings. 1. We are going to Hawaii on a baby-moon when I am 31 weeks along, and 2. my friend has graciously offered to give me a baby shower. I don't understand these parties very much and all of the etiquette around them, so I am not sure who should be invited to these things. Do I invite my family that is so far away that I am pretty sure that they can't come? My mom I know can't be there, she is in a wheelchair and cannot travel at all anymore, so do I send her an invitation? I feel like it's fishing for gifts and frankly I could care less about the gifts, I am more interested in just seeing everyone and hanging out. Anyone out there who reads this, albeit there probably aren't that many of you as I stated before I SUCK at this, have any advice on this dilemma, I am totally open to your thoughts.
