    Waiting...what did you do?

    What did you do to keep yourself bust while waiting for your LO to arrive?
    I've been soooooo ready for this baby to come for weeks now and my due date has come and still here waiting.
    I've been cleaning, shopping and doing all sorts of other things.

    So - WDYD??

    I had a bath with DD tonight and just sat there admiring the beautiful little princess I have and a little sad knowing that I will have to share her soon. I know she'll be a great big sister but she'll always be my little princess.

    Make sure you're out as much as possible so that when your waters breaks someone else has to clean it up only joking.

    I spent lots of time on my bottom sadly due to bed rest enforced by my Ob but in hindsight it was a lovely luxury.
    I love to cook in those last weeks - both times it happened.
    reading
    scrapbooking - both of which didn't involve much movement

    Happy 40weeks Sunshine!!!!

    go through all your photos on the pc. Edit/delete the crap ones and actually print the good ones and put into albums. That should keep you busy for awhile....

    Do ALL those things now, that you KNOW you won't have time to do when bub arrives.....

    Enjoy your last few days (or hours LOL) of being pregnant.... such a special time. Those big kicks and baby hiccups.... so cute.

    Good luck!!

    ps I went 7 days over due, that was hard waiting!

    I re-read the Twilight series - only got half way thru book 3 when the LO made his appearance and then it took me a few good weeks to get them all finished!
    The last few weeks are horribly slow aren't they?
