any other SAHMs out there?

I hope my boredom subsides when the baby arrives. I quit working the end of February, I kept super busy until this week and now I'm just freaking bored.

See post below...I am SO ready to be done. I don't plan to return to work after baby is born.

I was supposed to work until mid-March (actually last Friday should have been my last day) But I was forced out the door early, "due to the state of the economy" Whatever!!!! LOL I was planning on staying home anyways, I told my job months ago and set my last day as March 13. It got bumped up not by choice to Feb. 23.

I actually cried today out of boredom. I have cleaned our house from top to bottom, got all the baby stuff ready and now it is just a waiting game.

I'm sure I won't be bored when baby arrives, but another 3 weeks of this might drive me over the edge.

I've been off work since the end of Feb too, and I have enjoyed it. ?Sure, there were days were I was bored, but I took that time to just relax... because relaxation ends very very soon!!! ?I am choosing to be a SAHM, and I know that's going to be a big adjustment for me. But, I've been keeping busy with things I like to do, like scrapbooking. ?I also do a lot of window shopping/walking which helps to pass the time.

I'm sorry to hear you cried...I can picture myself going a bit stir crazy too. Have you seen any movies lately? You're not on bedrest, right?

I would probably run out of things to do too if I stopped working early, but I was about 2 seconds away from quitting today after some customers really pissed me off!

Hopefully you don't have 3 more weeks...I am right behind you, so we have to both go soon!

I'll be a SAHM also! I was laid off in December but it worked out well b/c im now on modified bedrest. Once baby arrives we decided that I will stay home for as long as finances allow. Beginning in August I'll be watching my friend's baby when she goes back to work as a teacher. (her baby will be 6 weeks by that time)

So overall it works out well for everyone.

I chose to be a SAHM, so it was my decision. I just am having a bad week in general, I started freaking out about not being a good mom, then I was super bored, I weighed myself and flipped out, I still can't discuss the weight gain (my doctor may kill me at my next appt). I called DH and told him I was fat, uncomfortable and bored. He told me to take a nap, haha.

I did request the first season of Medium from Netflix and requested a book from the library today too.

I am going to SAH. I am sure once baby arrives you will be so busy the days are just going to fly by. For me I have an older DD so I am sure between her and the baby I will be super busy. After she goes back to school in the fall though I am going to try to join a Gymboree class and a gym to take some of the time up.

I'm leaving work in a few weeks and will then have about a month until due date. I'm planning to fill the time with scrapbooking and sewing projects and running up my cell phone bill with calls to my bff who is a SAHM. I'm sure I'll be bored, but I'll just try to remind myself how much I don't want to work right now, and how much I'll have to work once DD is born, and hopefully survive!

I haven't worked since the end of January. At first I was incredibly bored but over time I got used to it and now I am soaking it up. It's nice to just relax and not have to stress about work. I get all the sleep and rest I want now

I know what you mean though about the baby thing...I really wish she would just get here so that I'd have something to do with my time.

LoveBryce · March 2009

I quit my job at 36 weeks to SAH when pregnant with my first. I was so bored at the end of my pregnancy but it is so much better when baby comes. It also gets to be a million times more fun when they are toddlers. Now I wish I had time to be bored.

I guess I could be considered a SAHM.. I take care of my sisters 4 kids every other day. So I will get to stay home with my little one.

Hey there I've been a sahm for about 4 years now. It can be lonley at times and a bit boaring. I think it is what you make it, so try to stay busy. Also, stay connected with friend even the friends that don't have kids. I have a 4 year old a 2 year old and baby Gia on the way,wow yea I'm a little nervous. At least staying home gives you freedom. You could stay in your pj's all day and just be with your kids. The years pass fast so enjoy:)

rickey · March 2009

I am! I have been off work since Jan! I am super bored. I try to go for walks, shopping, etc to keep busy but now that I am 38 weeks I am so ready and too impatient! I have never scrapbooked, maybe I should look into that! LOL!
