Waiting...what did you do?

[Miss.September]

I put all of our CDs onto our computer so we could burn mixed CDs. So sad!!!! The day I did it, I was having labour pains and had no idea. DD arrived the next morning!!

Just enjoy it hun. I had DD2 a day early, but even that felt like forever! I would keep busy by playing with DD1, or going out to lunch with friends. Just keeping really busy, and making sure I rested as much as possible as well.

well ive been off work since i found out i was pg at 4 weeks so have done a few of these already, but will keep reading for more insperations!! lol

I just wrote all ideas down for when I get to that stage lol. I still have 18 weeks to go if bubba decides to arrive on time.

Are there any tasks you always wanted to do but couldn't find the time?

I haven't done a wedding album yet - that was my plan while waiting for DD to arrive. But I kept getting distracted - my sister had her first when I was just 5wks pg so I spent a lot of time at her house, hanging out with my gorgeous 7mth old niece, my sis and my mum.

Do you have family/friends that are off work that you could harass? Just go and hang out? Have cups of tea, whatever?

Or go shopping - even just wander around the shopping centre, take as long as you want, look at all the lovely clothes and shoes you'll be wearing again soon. Going shopping uninterrupted will be a thing of the past soon...

Sleep in! Have LOOOOOOOONG showers or baths! Wash you hair every day! Read a book all day on the couch... if you're that kind of person! These are all things I miss from before DD arrived.

I love the photo idea of Lulu's! Wish I had done that!!

If you are trying to get that beautiful little one out sooner rather than later then you can try sitting on a fittness ball and bouncing from side to side (helps with a quick labour as it helps your muscles to open up) have sex a lot!!! Have curries, go for some nice walks. If you dont want to get the bub out sooner then maybe just try to enjoy the time you have and get some sleep and organize the nursery and maybe cook some dinners for the next few weeks for your DH (when you are in hospital he will need all the help he can get and when you get out the last thing you want to be doing is cooking!!!) I found it really helpfull having a heap of meals in the freezer. Good luck!
