Relaxing on the Stomach

My wonderful husband gifted me a prenatal massage!  I made my appointment for this Labor Day weekend. I was oddly a little nervous about going.  Not exactly sure why, except that my body just doesn't feel like my own, so I wasn't sure how this was going to go.  Sleeping is odd, walking is odd, sitting is more than odd, everything feels odd, so I figured that a massage might also feel odd and work opposite than its intention.  So, needless to say I was a little trepidatious about the appointment.  

Well, there was no need.  It was AMAZING.  First off, I love spas.  I love tossing on a robe and slippers and sitting in a quiet room and eating dried fruit and drinking lemon water.  I don't know why, I just love it.  Second bonus to this trip.... I was given the option of laying on my stomach!!!!! What?  They have this special massage bed with a trampoline belly area, so they said if I was comfortable, I could lay on my belly for the massage.  Well, I am a stomach sleeper, and have MISSED laying on my stomach so much that I dream about doing it.  So, I opted to lay on my belly.  The therapist left me in the room to get into position and I promptly hopped up on the bed and my butt fell into the hole for my belly. After some very uncomfortable maneuvering, I finally got into position and it was heaven.  She came back in and massage was under way!  It was very surreal.... for more than a 1/2 hour, I didn't feel pregnant.  It was crazy, and odd.  

So, I highly recommend.  It was such a treat.  Thanks Husband!
