Holly I was the same....convinced bubs would go waaay overdue, and then he decided to make an entrance at 39 wks.
And being my first, the anticipation was so high. I couldn't wait. I wished I'd worked longer, I was going nuts waiting at home. And the nesting thing never really kicked in for me so there goes that theory about keeping boredom at bay!
I used the time to catch up with people I knew it would be hard to see once bubs was born, and to just get myself in the right frame of mind for what was to come.
I was even more selfish than that - I didn't just want it to be over so I could meet the baby, I wanted it to be over so I didn't have to be pregnant anymore!!! (although if there hadn't been a baby at the end as well I would have been kind of peeved, I'm sure!)
The last weeks are really long, hope it goes quick for you. Maybe you could rent or borrow some dvds you always wanted to watch or catch up with some friends and do some cooking for the freezer ... all this time you have now, you'll wonder where it went when she comes - I know that doesn't help, though!!
