who doesn't love surprises

It's funny how after you have your baby you completely forget all the negatives you dealt with during your pregnancy.  For example, I completely forgot how badly I had heartburn and how terribly my back felt during my pregnancy with Anelia.  Now that I am experiencing those things again, I am fully reminded. 

My back pain has been the biggest issue of this pregnancy at this point.  It's terrible.  I have never been so uncomfortable in my life, not even in my last pregnancy.  I've been trying to do stretches daily to ease the pain but at times nothing seems to help. 

Yesterday the pain was endless, I couldn't sit up or walk without constant pain.  My sweet Sage must have seen that I was really hurting because he decided to surprise me with a one hour prenatal massage at Green Valley Ranch Resort Spa.  Just out of the goodness of his heart & I didn't even ask for it.  However, I have mentioned getting one later on & closer to my due date but he obviously saw that I needed one now. 

Funny side story:  When he told me that he had set up a massage for me, he called it a "paternity" massage... haha!  I also did not believe him whatsoever because Sage is quite the jokester.  I often can't tell if he's being serious or joking.  It took him showing me his call history to know that he wasn't lying and that he really did set everything up for me. 

The spa at GVR was gorgeous!  It was my first time ever going somewhere so fancy for a treatment and it's something I'll never forget.  They had a steam room, sauna, multiple Jacuzzis, fully loaded hair stations, and a bar with plenty of delicious snacks and drinks.  It was heavenly.  Although, I will admit that I would have loved for Sage to be there to share in the experience.  I usually enjoy myself more when I have someone there with me to experience it all as well.  I told Sage that next time we have to do a couples massage & go together. 

I'm so very thankful that I have been blessed with Sage.  We hit our 7 years anniversary on the 15th of this month and I don't know how I got so lucky.  Just like any other relationship we have our days where we don't get along too well or it's best for us to keep our distance but for the most part, majority of the time, he & I get along perfectly and we love each other's company.  I love him & I can't say enough how grateful I am that he's been in my life for 7 years!
