Crossing things off my "To Do" list.

I've been crossing things off of my "To Do" list left and right, as my pregnancy comes to an end.  I can't believe that I'm just 23 days away from being full term, and 43 days away from my due date.

My husband and I took part one of our maternity pictures on 11/11.  One of my previous coworkers is a photographer and he does amazing work.  We did the indoor portion, and will do the outdoor portion sometime this week (weather permitting).  He was actually surprised that I wanted to do some bare belly photos.  I told him I wanted to get them out of the way before the stretch marks come! LOL!

I also had my first prenatal massage on Saturday (11/13), it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!  I was so comfortable, and the woman really took her time and helped relax my muscles.  I don't have nearly as many aches and pains as I did before having the massage.  My sister and I decided to just make it a complete pamper day.  We started the morning off with breakfast, then went to the salon and got pedicures and our nails done, and then on to get full body massages.  It was great!!

Yesterday afternoon we did what I've been looking forward to for a LONG time.  We made a belly cast!  We purchased the kit for $20 from BuyBuyBaby.  My husband was so excited and set everything up so nicely.  I sat in a folding chair that was covered with a tarp and my husband carefully applied the strips.  The kit came with petroleum jelly, but I put my bio oil on first, and then slathered the jelly on in the hopes that my belly would be moisturized at the end of the process instead of just greasy.  The cast came out great, it's drying now but picture will come soon.  I am still in disbelief that my belly was even big enough to make a mold of.  But it's HUGE!  I was shocked!  We're going to sand it down and paint it to hang in Bunny's room.

All in all, I was able to cross three things off my list.
