I am laid up today- I woke up feeling rotten, managed to throw up my anti-nausea medication (I've only got 5 left- to last me until the 30th! I can't waste them!) and now the baby won't calm down. He's throwing himself from one side of my belly to the other, kicking and punching all the while. I am ready for him to be HERE and kicking and punching the air, and not my insides.
I'm also so, so, so incredibly ready for my pregnancy acne to go away. You have no idea the regimen I put my skin through, all to no avail! I wash my face with Clinique's Facial Soap for Oily skin, and about twice a week I use Fresh's Appleseed Brightening Exfoliant. Then when I get out of the shower, I use steps 2 and 3 in the standard Proactiv method... I ran out of the cleanser and don't have the money to replace it, so I'm just using what I have left over. After that's done and has had a chance to soak in, I start in with the various moisturizers and lotions I use daily. All 5 of them. Oh yes. 1. I use Palmer's Cocoa Butter on my hips and lower belly. 2. I use Victoria's Secret Ultra-Moisturizing Hand and Body Lotion in Delicate Petals on my legs and arms. 3. Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula Hand Cream gets applied to my feet and my elbows. 4. My neck is a disaster right now, and I apply Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion right before I go to bed, to help reduce the redness and the appearance of the "minor" issues. 5. Finally, I apply a new love my mom and I discovered. We got a sample of Clinique's Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturizer recently and it's my final application before bed- to the face.
You can pity my poor husband, who has to deal with my nightly routine while we're getting ready for bed. Think about the combination of scents that is! All I know is, I'm ready to cut some things out of my routine. And I'm really bummed that I felt so bad this morning, because I missed the chance to get in a decent meal. Also, I'm not waking up as early as I was naturally before- I guess we're getting back into the "exhaustion" mode. *sigh*
Come on, July 6.
1 kind words:
itll be here before you know it! and then you will be giddy with happiness!
