Visits from friends and family are the most uplifting.
Little things people do like bringing me magazines or books and treats (like chocolates) are nice.
I get really, TRULY tired of eating the same stuff too (like wheat thins, fruit, peanut butter and jelly and yogurt). When someone brings me something from somewhere outside, even if it's fast food it's a welcomed break.
I do like to look at the developmental pictures and stages as
bhwhou suggested. It gives me motivation and a sense of accomplishment... like I've gotten the baby THIS far and THIS is what they look like and are working on in there.
Amazingly enough, this forum is fun too. For some of us that were working prior to this (where the majority of my friends are), you don't realize how much you need that interaction and connection with people. It helps to connect with some of these women on here who can identify with the many, numerous, daily complaints...
I like to get dressed and at least do my makeup, to at least feel attractive to my husband. I do that about every other day.
I agree with
Lanespoli, I would LOVE a massage or pedicure. I'm embarrassed about the calluses on my feet and condition of my nails. It's amazing how many muscles ache too, a massage would be lovely. Finding someone who could come and do my hair (cut/color) at home would be great.
