    Relax a lot! I spent a lot of my last 6 weeks on the couch with my feet up as they were REALLY swollen, and just watched a lot of daytime TV and DVDs.

    Shell's things to catch up with friends is also a good idea - I made sure that i went to visit my Oma who lives on the Northside while I am on the Southside, and it was a good thing I did, coz I had to have an emergency caesarian, and then couldn't go and see her for ages after the birth, as I couldn't drive, and my DH had to work.

    Go shopping! My favourite! Buy any other little things that you will need for yourself and your baby.

    If you get that bored sitting at home, even just go to a park, sit on a bench and watch nature, or go to a shopping centre and watch the people - you could treat yourself to something yum while you are there, and enjoy the air con - I reckon it is going to start getting hot fairly soon...

    Or see a movie on your own! You won't be able to go to another one for a while without lots of difficulties with babysitters and such - especiallly if you breastfeed...

    Hope I helped with some ideas to stay entertained!

    Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!!
