What to do..

PDunlap23

I am 37 weeks and 5 days. I am so very ready to meet my lil man! I have been going crazy just sitting around waiting for him. I have everything ready and have cleaned this house about a thousand times! Any suggestions on what to do to keep occupied during these last 16 or so days?

After talking to some fellow mommy friends, I'm making frozen casseroles or frozen crock pot meals that my hubby can make easily for right after birth. Yes - I spent over an hour chopping 11 onions yesterday afternoon, but at least I'm keeping myself busy!  :-) I'm due on 8/19, so I completely understand your frustration!  My house has never been so clean!  I recommend looking up recipes on Pinterest or asking fellow mommy friends to send some your way.  Good luck and congrats on your pending due date.

I like crafting, and it's fun to make something for the new baby too!  I've made playmats, blankets, carseat covers and little travel blankets!

Spend time with your hubby! If this is your first baby then your life is about to change in a major way! Time alone with your husband will be hard to come by! if I could go back before my son was born I would enjoy time with my husband or just by myself. Go out to a movie, read a book, shop in a nice relaxed fashion... All of these things seem like mini- vacations now that I have a 28 month old and another one due 09/23! 

Savor your personal time!

Anytime I get impatient I try to think of this as much as possible. I'm a FTM and I know things will never be the same so I am trying to savour the moments I have now.
