    Those last weeks..what to do what to do

    Well all of a sudden this pregnancy has come to a standstill, frozen in time the days are dragging and im trying to fill my calendar up with things to do but ive kinda run out and things seem to fall all in one day, and that just makes that one day fly by and then the rest of the week is like im going at snails pace with everything.
    people keeps saying relax and enjoy it but serioulsy relaxation makes the days slow lol
    all I have is lunch with friends, an engagement party and doc appointments between now and 3 weeks 3 days time.
    any ideas arghhhhh

    - Go for a walk each day
    - Organise all your baby clothes (took me a week LOL)
    - Clean out your pantry/bathroom cupboard/linen press
    - Spring clean your wardrobe
    - Spring clean your partner's wardrobe
    - Cook some meals and freeze them
    - Watch some dodgy DVDs
    - Do some gardening
    - Read one of those books you've been meaning to read
    - Sort out those photos/scrapbooking you've been meaning to do

    Hope some of those ideas help!

    If all goes well, I'm going to spend a lot of time making cot sheets out of some old nursery curtains I found.

    I'm working from home for as long as possible, so that I don't go insane.

    I'm also going to do a new cross stitch for the baby, and I'm going to get dd1 over for some girlie DVD afternoons

    Nest, nest, nest!

    Get all those jobs done around the place that you've been putting off. The list above is a good start.

    I know that I need to get all our photos printed, up to date and in the kids albums/family albums before this bub arrives and it's photos galore again.

    Also, I always suggest a pamper day close to your EDD - got get your hair done or have a facial, manicure, pedicure etc. There'll be little time for those things once bub arrives so make the most of it.

    Well then now's a good time to learn!

    I don't sew well either but I figure cutting up some curtains and running some seams up the sides shouldn't be beyond me.
