Sensual Mass-Ahhhge.

IMG_7127Blog

Our snow is melting away.

So is my stress!

Matt surprised me with a pre-natal massage last week!!! There really isn’t a more perfect gift in the world. One of our customers, Helaine, runs Massage By Helaine here in town, and she gave me a fantastic total body meltdown this morning. THANKS KANZ!

Appointment #1 a success.

Pre-massage snack: nibbles of my everlasting Trek bar and grapes.

IMG_7129Blog

And I apologize for being melodramatic, but appointment #2 isn’t that big of a deal – just going to the dentist. Hope I didn’t scare anyone like I did my mom, who thought it was a prenatal appt. I didn’t tell her about. But no offense to Amy the Hygienist, it’s one of my most dreaded appointments. Because you just never know when a cavity will appear, which leads to shots and numbness and $$$! So hopefully I will walk away with a cleaning only.

 IMG_7134Blog

While I was on the massage table, I dreamed up this lunch. Very similar to the wrap I had last week: whole grain tortilla, 2 eggs [scrambled], mashed avocado, jalapenos, 3 slices cheese, salt and peppa. SO GOOD!

IMG_7131Blog

Leftover grits on the side

And a plum that tasted like a mid-summer night’s dream.

Have a melted afternoon!

    Massages are the BEST! It’s been far too long since I’ve had one and I’m hoping to go within the next month. The spa I like fills up SO fast, but the robes are SO fluffy that I’m willing to wait lol! Glad it’s just the dentist… I’m always a little anxious about those appointments too!

    Just the Dentist! I was worried as well but glad it is “only” that! I hate the dental cleaning process too so I know what you mean!

    And I have recently fallen in love with the combo of egg and avocado. For some reason it works SO well together!!

    I’m surprised your hygenist would do a cleaning while you are pregnant? Mine never would because of the possibility of me swallowing bacteria stirred up by the cleaning. Who knows, maybe mine is just overly cautious. How nice of Matt to give you a massage. That is one of the best things a spouse can do for a pregnant mama!

        Yeah, I never heard the cleaning being an issue. I think I had a dentist appointment when I was about 6 months along — our mouths are full of bacteria anyway . . . . I just passed on the x-rays, which I’m always looking for an excuse to skip, anyway.

        Mine gave me a cleaning but when they discovered I had a cavity they gave me the option to have it filled sans numbing (eff that!) or to wait until after birth bc they won’t give pregnant women novicane.

          I actually had a cavity drilled without numbing this year because I’m such a needlephobe and it was on the surface. It actually didn’t hurt, but boy was I scared!

                Honestly I’m surprised how much I *don’t* hate going to my dentist. I’ve had dozens (I wish this were an exaggeration) of cavities, 13 teeth pulled, 5 of which were adult teeth and braces for 6 years (not dentist but close enuf)! I’m so used to people poking around in there it’s just a part of my life anymore…

      I have not heard of that either… they warned me against swallowing mouthwash with alcohol in it and pushed back my x-rays, but they and my midwife both gave the okay for everything else.

      I’ve never heard of that. My understanding is that there is growing evidence that gum disease in a pregnant woman is linked to preterm delivery, therefore, it is to the mom and baby’s benefit to continue with regular dental appointments during pregnancy.

    Just wondering about all the non-seasonal fruit? Not trying to pick here, but you used to be so seasonal/local minded about what you at and now I see plums, blueberries and grapes in winter. Are you just giving the baby what it wants? I am getting pretty bored of citrus too.

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      March 6, 2012 at 7:57 pm

      Yes, not ideal, but I’d rather eat healthy fruit that’s not in season than the junk food I’ve also been craving. Fruit tastes SO good to me now I just had to indulge. Citrus is getting old for sure..

    Good for you! It’s funny that Jess had a prenatal massage this past week too, only she was bummed cause she couldn’t lie on her tummy – the therapist wouldn’t let her. And it’s such a tiny baby bump. I think they should make tables with a hole there, like that head thingy!

    Good for you! Did you get to lay on your tummy or did they do side-lying? I’m also a massage therapist and I bought the Sophie Prone Pregnancy Pillow so I can give expecting mamas a chance to lay on their tummies while getting massaged 🙂 Haven’t had a chance to try it yet but I’m looking forward to using it!

    Beyond cavities, going to the dentist can also be a sort of pregnancy related appointment, because pregnancy hormones can cause increased likelyhood of gingivitis, and gingivitis is linked to preterm labour! I had 31-week preemie, and afterwards, when reading and trying to figure out what might have caused her to come early, I was certainly glad I’d gone to the dentist during my pregnancy!
