It's a dress I plan on wearing to my cousin's wedding, M's baptism and Christmas. I feel fantastic in it. For the price, yeah, it was a treat, all right!!!!! </p> [attach=251/12/mcb7yu.233x338.Belk.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-have-you-treated-yourself-lately#post-354302 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:39:06 +0000 Arden 354302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um...

Keep looking at my hands every few hours and grinning :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-have-you-treated-yourself-lately#post-354203 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:09:28 +0000 sunny 354203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a massage on Friday and it was fabulous! DH watched baby while I went. It was only the second time I have been away from baby and I was happy to come back home and see that everything was ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-have-you-treated-yourself-lately#post-354194 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:08:06 +0000 kiddosc 354194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went out last weekend and bought some work clothes to fit my new body. After 3 months of wearing my old maternity clothes to work if feels great to dress like a regular person. </p> <p>I need to get better about taking some me time on weekends though. I always feel guilty about it when i do, but I think I need to get over that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-have-you-treated-yourself-lately#post-354171 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:04:04 +0000 lovehoneybee 354171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My life right now is like 75% baby, 24% DH and 1% me. I know the first two will start to balance out more as E gets a little older/needs me a little less, but I need to/have been making an effort to give more love to myself as well. I need to make sure that sometimes I'm not just Dave's wife and/or Evan's Mama, that sometimes I'm just Sarah. </p> <p>Most days I carve out an hour or two after E's gone down for the night to lock the bathroom door and take a hot bath. I make sure there's a bottle in the fridge in case E wakes up hungry, so that DH can take care of it. It's the only time during the day I'm alone. </p> <p>Anyway, today I treated myself to a few small things to make me feel less like just the mom of a baby. My current wardrobe consists of maternity jeans/maternity yoga pants/nursing tanks. So in order to feel like a human again, I bought a new pair of boots, non-maternity skinny jeans (first time I've worn something with a zipper and button in 9 months!) and a few BF-friendly shirts/sweaters (cowl and scoop neck). I feel so much more like my old self!</p> <p>Do you make a point to have "you" time? Have you treated yourself lately? </p>
