How to make the last 8 weeks go faster?

[BabyButterfly]

hi

Know you have kids of your own, but I can hire my tribe out for a few weeks if you like, they will keep you busy, lol.
I'm quite happy with my bubs where it is at the moment, the noise level is going to increase considerably when it is born.

[Shanti]

come and work for us at our shop, we'll keep you busy working has made time fly so fast for me.....

Sorry not very good advice is it? lol

I am the same. Except only 3 weeks to go. I must admit that I am still supposed to be working from home until Friday but find it very easy to get distracted. I love switching off and watching a DVD or something like that. Its how I relax. I have also been nesting which can take a bit of time. I went through my pantry and ended up chucking out 3 bags of out of date food! Now the pantry looks empty! I cleaned the microwave. Cleaned the tuperware draw. I will probably clean out the bathroom cupboard this week sometime. But I must admit I spend a lot of time reading up on what labour and recovery is going to be like and how to look after a baby etc.

Nesting!! Getting all those little jobs done you've been wanting to do forever but putting off. That's what I ended up doing.

Have you decided on names? I used to agonise over our lists to pass the time

Also little things like getting your hair done, waxing, a pedicure, all that kind of stuff you won't have time to do for a while once bub arrives.

I'm with you here Antheia! I'm not much help, as I feel the same. I watched a lot of DVD box sets (currently it's How I Met Your Mother), and a little while back I was doing a lot of cross stitch. Sorry I don't have any more suggestions - but I feel your pain (well, impatience!)

Yeah we've had a name for about 18 months now lol.

Would love to get my hair done but can't with the kids.

Also can't do anything crafty cause the kids will mess it up. Might try cleaning out the bathroom though. Other than that, not much nesting is to be done! How boring lol.

I don't know Antheia - but if you find out how to make things go faster please let me know!!

I am hoping that the lead up to Christmas and New Year will make things go a little quicker and I still have 5 weeks of work left.....

How bout you do some painting??
Get the kids involved too.

I remember I did a lot of sanding, revarnishing and painting in the last month or so of my 1st pregnancy...WEIRD

Ill be still at work till 35 wks, so the last month , I will be quite busy getting everything I need together and set up!

Just think the next 2 weeks over xmas and new year and going to FLY
