Anyone doing anything for themselves yet?

Anyone doing any new mommy pampering?

I am almost 4 weeks PP. I went and got a pedicure and my nails done a few days ago and today I am getting a new hair cut and some black low lights...

I would love to be at the gym, but they won't take newborns until they are 8 weeks, which is young enough, it would just feel nice to have an hour to listen to my ipod and stretch, lift, and relax.

Anyone else doing anything nice for themselves yet?

I am going to attempt to get a new hair cut and I am going to paint my toenails this week (I am waiting for new nailpolish to come in the mail - mama polish-yeah!!)

I try to make myself a cup of tea at some point each day and sit and actually drink it. Some days I do not get to it.

I had the Chiro come last Tuesday to adjust everyone. It was great!

I also bought a bunch of nursing tanks on e-bay. That was fun!!

Take care!

I bought bras that (mostly) fit! And a couple of outfits (thrift store). I've also been to the chiropractor, and got an asthma script refilled for myself.

Honestly, I feel like getting to the point where basic maintenance is happening w/out heroic measures is serious self-care at this point Showering, eating, having a functionally tidy house, and NOT yelling at my kids all make me feel good and good about me.

I just started moving around my house and getting dressed two days ago, other than Finnian's baptism. I am going to do my toenails today and my dd's too. Next week I plan on starting walking in the evening.

I'm still only 4 days pp so I'm not there yet but today I got dressed and put some makeup on Does that count? "pampering" consists of taking herbal sitz baths and that is nice. H has really stepped up and is taking care of EVERYTHING at the house and it has been great.

I'm 4 and a half days post partum and at this point, I'm just now to the point where I can sit fairly comfortably and move around more. I consider showering to be doing something good for myself :P

im 8 days PP, im still sore and achy and i think i have done some damamge to my right hip muscles/ligaments so even getting up to go pee is a job and a half which i really funny as when i was 3 days PP i felt bloody fantastic!!!

i have no idea what i am going to do for me, i tried to have a bath last night, as soon as my toe touched the water Henrietta made it clear that she wanted mummy and she wanted her NOW, so i got a quick wash and out again.

i might see about joining a dance class when they start up again. but other wise i have nothing planned at all for me, not enought time or money at the mo.
