At 38.5 weeks, what's left to do...?

Sniffer2.0 · March 2009

-the laundry is done
-the nursery is done
-we've gone to dinner
-we've gone to the movies
-we've had sex (for fun, not to induce)
-the house is clean
-freezer is FULL of food
-carseat is installed, and car has been detailed and cleaned
-I've read the baby books
-I've read the sleep books
-I've read the breastfeeding books
-I work from home so I've already had time to relax and sleep whenever I want
-baby classes are done, birth plan is written and signed by the doc, and we've pre registered at the hospital
-hospital bag is packed

So...just wait at this point? Am I missing anything that I *must* do before this little kid is born? I think I'm ready if he comes early, but I'm not doing anything to encourage it. I'm still comfy and can wait until he's ready.

Go see every movie you've ever wanted to see, eat out at all your favorite restaurants, and sleep more than you ever thought you'd want to. Please, for me

Edit: Damn, guess I should have read more closely. Well go see all the movies again, haha

Any bills you can go ahead and pay?

SLEEP

Do you have everything you will personally need for when you come home?

Pads

Tucks/hemroid cream

Things like that?

Get a manicure/pedicure/haircut/eyebrow wax, etc.

Enjoy the time with your hubby and that baby in your belly!!

SLEEP

This is what I was going to say!

Sniffer2.0 · March 2009

-thank you cards were written the day of the shower
-I've slept all I wanted to (I'm still very comfortable and can sleep just fine)
-bills until May 1st are paid
-tucks, colace, pads, etc has been purchased as well as nursing tanks
-ah yes, mani/pedi, and hair cut are done

Ok, glad I'm not missing anything. Thanks ladies! Looking forward to joining you soon.

Sleep as much as you can! Get your hair cut and a mani and pedi. Prepay your bills so they're not due while you're in the hospital and first at home- you're not going to want to deal with them.

Do you have an email list ready for your DH or someone to send an update when the baby is born?

plenty of comfy clothes to live in when you get home - comfy enough to lie in bed with the baby and decent enough to say hi to friends and family that visit?

a stash of new and wonderful shower gels and lotions, so when you DO get the chance to take a shower, it becomes the greatest thing you have ever done.

photo albums from the past all up to date? you will likely never visit that again if you don't do it now!

drawers. closets, cabinets cleaned out and organized?

or lie around and rest and sleep and watch TV or read.
