I used to go at least once a month. Now, I've only been once since he was born and I only got a pedicure because I didn't want to be gone too long! I miss picking out polish :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-baby-self-indulgence#post-1143773 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:30:08 +0000 californiadreams 1143773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: i think i have chocolate more now since LO is here! it's no mystery why my baby weight is not coming off, lol.</p> <p>@boots: @MrsStar: i miss long hot showers too. even when I have "time" for them at the end of day, I am too tired to enjoy them like i used to </p> <p>@Silva: that must have been so free-feeling!</p> <p>@Bookish: i find it easier to get my toes done at the salon (as infrequent as i go), rather than making time for myself to do it at home</p> <p>@Cherrybee: naps are definitely an indulgence :)</p> <p> @deerylou: sounds awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-baby-self-indulgence#post-1143370 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 18:13:38 +0000 Silva 1143370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I walked around the mall with a coffee and no baby this weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-baby-self-indulgence#post-1143357 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 18:06:33 +0000 deerylou 1143357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO always takes a long nap in the morning. If I don't snooze beside her, I take a long shower, and enjoy my oatmeal and chai in peace, and solitude. It's wonderful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-baby-self-indulgence#post-1143301 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 17:24:25 +0000 Cherrybee 1143301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so jealous! I managed a quick shower today but I had to jump out and trail water through the house twice during said shower to reinsert DD's dummy (she was meant to be napping!). </p> <p>My indulgence this week - MIL had DD on Tuesday afternoon and I slept the entire afternoon away! I used to take sleep for granted and especially afternoon naps, I was the queen of the cheeky nap. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-baby-self-indulgence#post-1143056 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:36:28 +0000 Bookish 1143056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toes! I used to re-do my toe color every week or two (just me, not even going to a salon) and I've managed to do it I think twice in the 3 months shes been here! And both times it was the same color....so I could just touch up. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-baby-self-indulgence#post-1143048 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 15:32:41 +0000 MrsStar 1143048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long peaceful showers! lo hates seeing me in the shower so she stands there and cries at me, so I have to be quick. I also miss baths! we moved a few months ago and our current place doesn't have a bath. So my latest daydreams include a bath and a glass/bottle of wine with a good book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-baby-self-indulgence#post-1142683 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 13:20:40 +0000 boots 1142683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long, hot showers! Having a glass of wine, or some sort of other tasty treat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-baby-self-indulgence#post-1142645 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 13:03:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 1142645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh's aunt gave me a thing if energizing mint foot and leg cream and that was totally my indulgence. I did shower almost every day, then I'd take my time with the lotion. </p> <p>Plus ice cream or chocolate like every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/post-baby-self-indulgence#post-1142223 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 09:52:41 +0000 californiadreams 1142223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO slept in until 7:30am this morning, but I woke up at 6:45am....usually it is the opposite (and DH gets up with LO until he leaves for work!). I had a nice 8 hours of sleep (waking once to nurse him for 15 minutes). So I feel well rested. </p> <p>As if that is not self-indulgent enough.....the best part: I had a shower (in the morning!) and I was able to put LOTION and FOOT CREAM on!!! Something I used to do every morning pre-baby, now I do it like once a month, haha.</p> <p>what is something you used to take for granted pre-baby that now feels like you are selfishly self-indulging when you do it now? </p>
