I am many dazzzzze away from the joyful experience of birth (no joke; I hate being pregnant so birth is bomb), which means I am far from the humbling experience of the hospital granny panty. Ooh and the diaper pads. Somehow you are able to simultaneously feel geriatric and neonate all at the same time. I’m certain this is what they mean by the circle of life – or something like that.

And seriously, what better to embroider when you’re postpartum or living with Aunt Flo than something like this? I mean, come on. Tell me you don’t love this:

Ha! But good pads really do make ALL THE DIFFERENCE. And a nice, long, hot shower!! And I love the embroidery pattern. Obvi not granny panties.. They’re mom panties – duh!
Bwahahaha! Wearing your own pads makes such a huge difference in how you feel post-partum! Not a lot of pampering going on ’round these parts, but I used to love getting the occasional facial at a local day spa. :)
I like to pamper myself by taking a long relaxing dip in our hot tub with some aromatherapy candles.

I pamper myself by taking care of my nails – I am usually taking on the phone or watching TV at the time, and I take off any polish that is on them, and then I groom my cuticles, file and shape my nails, and then if I want to put on a new color I do that (base coat, 2 coats of color, top coat, and drying drops). It’s a necessary task, but also relaxing. :-)
Thanks so much for having this giveaway! Keeping my fingers crossed! :-)

I pamper myself with a long hot bath and if I’m feeling especially decadent I’ll have a big hot fudge sundae while I’m soaking.

Hehe! I like you have a good sense of humor about disliking pregnancy! I enjoyed mine but one pregnancy sucked the life right out of me!
I recently stopped breastfeeding and that time of the month is hitting me hard! I am using it as an excuse to lounge around on the couch!! There is my pampering…being lazy for a day or two!
