I get a couple of treatments, lay around the waiting room and read, sit outside, sir in the pool/hot tub... It's heavenly! I can only do that because I get the gift card, though. Without that, I'd probably get a pedicure at my local place and go see a movie and wander around the mall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2580025 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 18:44:51 +0000 pregnantbee 2580025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Sounds like a great day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579998 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 17:55:59 +0000 ShootingStar 2579998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: I had a pretty good day! I got DS off to daycare like usual and then I went to target. I set up a registry there so I could get a $20 gift card and then I picked up some stuff we needed. I walked around the mall a little, treated myself to a pretzel at Auntie Anne's and then bought a bunch of nursing bras at Motherhood. </p> <p>Then I had lunch at home, watched some tv and lounged around. DH came home and we got DS and had dinner at Chik-fil-a. I was craving a milkshake 😃. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579995 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 17:47:21 +0000 SweetiePie 2579995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd start the day early to get lots of bang for my buck! Breakfast out at a cafe with good coffee and reading. Massage. Nice lunch with more reading. Go home and lay in bed binge watching for the rest of the day. While playing candy crush, obviously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579991 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 17:33:14 +0000 pregnantbee 2579991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: What did you end up doing?

First time since LO was born!! </p> <p>I slept in, took my time showering and doing my makeup (usually so rushed!), and I've been binge watching OITNB while drinking hot coffee all morning. About to go pick up some lunch and then return for more of the same lol. </p> <p>I'm lazy at heart, and really enjoy not doing ANYTHING. </p> <p>(I did also do a load of laundry and do a little cleaning and unload the dishwasher earlier so that I wouldn't feel too guilty about DH working all day while I do shit haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579721 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 10:48:21 +0000 lioneyes 2579721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mani/pedi, nice lunch alone, home to bing watch netflix in bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579575 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 08:27:37 +0000 matador84 2579575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lunch by myself or with friends, manicure, naps, netflix, dinner!</p> <p>i haven't had a single day to myself since having LO1 almost 4 years ago, but I'm about to have one in a couple weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579574 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 08:27:33 +0000 pwnstar 2579574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: One of the best phrases EVER! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579397 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 22:35:13 +0000 QBbride 2579397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @FaithFertility: !

I'd love to refresh my pedicure but the last time I got one I was SO uncomfortable in the chair. Weirdo pregnancy pregnancy problems :bummed: . Not sure I want to go to a super expensive place just so my butt doesn't hurt, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579190 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 18:22:27 +0000 autumnlove 2579190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Read by the pool and eat all day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579162 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 17:53:54 +0000 pregnantbee 2579162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Did you make any decisions? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579161 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 17:53:14 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 2579161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Breakfast with my mom, massage, mani/pedi, lunch with a friend, nap, yoga! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579157 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 17:51:07 +0000 fancyfunction 2579157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one last Sunday!

Browse the internet on my phone while waiting for the morning's caffeine intake to kick in. Take a REALLY LONG poop and shower while listening to 90s alternative as loud as I want. Make a list of stuff that needs to get done. Don't do them - it can all wait til later. Go see a movie, get lots of popcorn (lunch). Come home. Get back in bed. Watch an episode of something on Netflix. Drag myself out of bed to pick up LO from daycare.</p> <p>But since you're pregnant, I'm gonna go ahead and shorten all of that to SLEEP with a short break to pick up and devour bad foods that no one else can judge you for or steal off your plate! ENJOY!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2579001 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:22:04 +0000 mrsjazz 2579001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had the past two weeks to myself! OK, I've been recovering but the second week, I've been binge-watching all the stuff I don't usually get to watch, read a couple of mysteries, and have been ordering take-out during the day. </p> <p>I want this life permanently and am trying to figure out how I can not go back to work but still have money :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2578998 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:19:19 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2578998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Massage, take a nap in a bed, leisurely lunch w/ dessert (&amp; wine too if I wasn't BFing) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2578995 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:18:29 +0000 jhd 2578995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shop! I don't mind running errands with LO, but it takes so much longer when I have to get him in and out of his car seat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-with-a-day-to-yourself#post-2578992 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 15:17:26 +0000 youboots 2578992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pedicure.
