Out with the Old and in with the NEW!

Most of you may not know this,

but I concider bathing very disgusting.

Last time I took a bath was probably 8 years ago

and I only did it because I saw it in a movie

and it looked really glamorous...

it wasn't.

and I felt really weird sitting there naked,

soaking in my own dirt.

Recently, as I've been trying to find ways to sleep better at night,

I came across a lot of recommendations for baths before bedtime.

and I frowned at the thought of ever trying it again,

but knew I had to do it so it could be crossed off the list,

just like the other 100 things I've already tried and not worked.

So I lit candles,

grabbed a book,

turned off the lights,

and I uncomfortably lowered myself into the tub,

and let go of my germ nightmares.

I still found it really awkward,

and I still had to take a full shower right after

to guarantee I was actually clean,

BUT

I took a bath last night and

it worked.

And I must have slept a full 6 hours last night.

And seeing those kinds of results

when you usually only achieve that in a full week,

gives you a different perspective

and lets you welcome in the new.

So, hello baths.

Where have you been all of my pregnant life?!
