I'm about three weeks away from Baby #5 and I feel like totally and completely pampering myself after the birth. I'm having a homebirth (my second) and I'm not planning on leaving my bed for at least two days! I know the sooner I get back into the action, the sooner my husband will get back to his job...so yes, I'm planning on making this last as long as possible 
I even went as far as to threaten a planned C-section just so I could have those 10 days of bed rest while the incision heals!
Yes, I'm working too hard now. Four kids under age 8, baseball practice, cub scouts, youth group, homeschool, 30 chickens, a dog, two cats, and a live-in FIL that has such poor health he can't clean up after himself.
So. Have you bought anything for yourself? Products, books, that sort? Special tasty snacks? Anything that you can't possibly ever have another birth without?
