a little vanity

Ok, I definitely care about my appearance and like to make a good impression. However, I am not afraid to leave the house without makeup. Now that said, I have been thinking about how I'm going to look in the hospital when Aiden comes. I know I know... I'm going to be giving birth and chances are not looking my best, but who cares cause I'll be bringing a new life into this world. I get it. BUT what about afterwards? What about when all those pictures are taken that will last FOREVER and will be treasured because they will be our first family pictures? What about when friends and family come to meet Aiden? I dont want to look like I've just given birth, I want to look like I'm glowing. Call it vanity or insanity.

So this morning I decided I am going to at least do my nails. After performing contortions a Cirque De Soliel performer would be jealous of, I managed to paint my toes! Thats right, I havent seen my feet in months, let alone put my own shoes on and I managed to not only put a cute shade of pink on my own toes, but also keep it to just the nails! HOT DAMN. Where there's a will there is a way. In the interest of full disclosure, I was motivated by the thought of looking at my feet while I'm pushing Aiden and thinking that I dont care how unflattering that position may be, I'm still cute and girly.

Additionally, I waddled my way down to Walgreens in an effort to get a little exercise with the promise of buying a new bottle of nail polish. Two birds with one stone:) So now I have painted fingers and toes and am REALLY ready for Aiden to get here, and I'll look good all the while:)
