Now, don't get my wrong. I'm still enjoying the pregnancy and have relatively few issues with it, but there are a few things that I miss being able to do since I've been pregnant. I decided to make a list, not to gripe, but rather to heighten the anticipation of things to come.
- Eating sushi -- I think my first meal will involve a big, fat Rainbow Roll!
- Sliding on the tile floor in my socks -- a la Tom Cruise in Risky Business (but I prefer to keep my pants on)
- A hot, sweaty, vinyasa yoga class
- A deep tissue (hurts so good) massage
As you can see, the list is pretty short. And for three items on the list, I have wonderful alternatives. While I miss getting deep massages to work out all the kinks in my shoulders, I may never have gone for a Watsu massage at the Crossings in Austin (Greg and I went there with his mom). It was a wonderful experience!! I highly recommend it to pregnant and non-pregnant individuals. It's a massage while you are being supported in a body temperature pool of water. The therapist uses shiatsu massage methods and you become so relaxed. You feel like a baby in the womb.
I'm also enjoying my pre-natal yoga and slower yoga classes so much. I am so grateful to be able to attend the classes and meet other pregnant ladies, like me.
There's always vegetable sushi too that keeps my sushi cravings in check.
But, there is no alternative for sock skating/sliding....Oh well! Small price to pay.
