I agree with Kelly, forget the clock and take down all the calendars!
RELAX! Find something that relaxes you, or distracts you as Kelly mentioned. Now is a great time to go see a movie or do something that will get your mind off everything. And turn the answering machine on coz there is nothing worse than "Is he here yet" phone calls *ugh* I had pre-labour for 2 weeks prior to birth and I literally pretended the world did not exist. I didn't go where I knew I'd be ambushed by the "not long to go" comments. I didn't look at the calendar, or at the time. I tried to sleep as much as possible, rest, relax, warm baths, burning essential oils. Lots of cuddles with Marc, try and feel as comfortable as possible. If you can go get a massage... but make sure it relaxing! Tracey Habron did a massage for me and 48 hrs later I was in labour.
Goodluck, and please try not to be impatient... anxiety will only slow things down even more or make the time go slower thats for sure!
I know its hard, but think of it this way the longer your body is working at getting there when labour finally kicks in it won't have as much work to do. Your body is doing wonderful things, let it!
*hugs*
