    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 I went through my pantry and ended up chucking out 3 bags of out of date food!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.....

    I am not sure if this will help but I was thinking of making some dream catchers!! They take a little while to make which should keep me occupied for a little while. I have also been getting stuck into the wasjig puzzles oh they are so much fun to do when you are sooo bored lol!!! And of course the cleaning of the house it never ends well here it doent. every where i look there is more to add to my list lol.

    Good luck and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
