You poor thing! I hope it goes as quickly as possible for you...
A few more ideas...writing letters to family or friends you don't see very often/live far away, do you have old recipe magazines/cookbooks you can go through and start some menu planning for when bub arrives (also some great websites with stacks of recipes). Before DD arrived I started going through my collection and typing out favourite recipes and those I'd like to try into Microsoft OneNote- I created a bit of a 'recipe book' so that all the recipes I use and want to test out are in the one spot. Umm...puzzle books, do you sew/knit/crochet/cross stitch? If not maybe you could teach yourself? And if you don't have one, beg your partner for a laptop!!
the ideas here are nice...
if i had to do that here are some things i would do:
organise all our old and new photos - online order prints of those i dont have and get heaps of albums and arrange them all nicely (also maybe could do photobooks instead - all can be done online)
organise all my recipes - not books but i have heaps of magazines like delicious, donna hay etc so i could tear out recipes i like and organise them into a book/box/folder and then throw out the mags i dont need
print out emails from our travel - i used to write long and lovelty email home with all we got up to - and make memory books of them (in fact i think i will try to do that now). i would prob create a memory book from some of the trips for DH, i am sure he would love them
write letters to some of my relos overseas - email is good but some of the older ones would love a handwritten letter - and add some pics of our kids etc
i'd also be doing all the thank you cards for presents for Jacob, but i guess that's a bit premature for you to do LOL
hope that helps and hope the time goes fast!
How about writing a story for your baby?
Maybe organise some friends to come for visits?
I agree that box-sets are awesome. When I finished up at work and was waiting for Phoebe, and in the middle of the nights once she arrived, I got through 4 seasons of House. LOL!
All the best. Hope the weeks don't crawl by too slowly.
I hear ya hun! I was on and off from 24weeks. I started Nates scrapbook if you're into that. Was eternally greatful for the laptop.
Pedicured my feet, manicured my nails, properly, not their usual 10 minute jobbys
Meditated a lot. That really helped as I'm not a great daytime sleeper.
Bondi if you haven't read them yet, try the Twilight books. OMG they are sooo addictive! haha, its like there aren't enough hours in the day to read them all.
