- making sure my hair is constantly "maintained" (facial and elsewhere *ahem*)
- making sure my nails are "did"
- what I will wear should I decide to jump in the pool for a water birth
- how to keep my straightened hair dry while having a water birth
- what I will wear should I decide not to have a water birth
- what I will wear for my first post-birth photo

Maybe it keeps me sane and distracts from the upcoming pain.
Or maybe I'm just vain.
I am getting excited though. Looking forward to seeing my boy and finally staying home from work and getting my normal bikini bod back. Guffaw!
No way. Is totally normal and sign that you are fantabulous woman! When I was carrying the Beast, I had to go live in hospital for 6 weeks before an emergency C-section finally happened in dead of night. How did I occupy my days during those 6 waddling weeks? Giving myself French manicures. And straightening my hair. Every day. Because I suspected a dire emergency could occur at any moment. (And I was right)Either way, I was suitably distracted AND I had such great nails that the nurses would ask me to please do their nails...teach them how to do a French manicure.
