  all of the above! ;-) no just kdding.  But I used to love to do spontaneous things like drive to St Paul (45 mins for us) to go to dinner on a Friday night just because the resturant sounded good. A movie is a great idea or a really good book.  Anything that requires freedom but that will be tough to come by once the baby arrives.  It changes your life in so many ways!

  Sleeping in.  Hanging out with friends.  Freezer meals.  Make sure all essentials are stocked (baby shampoo, diaper cream, etc.)  Oh yeah, and sleeping in.

  Sleeping in!!  And watching movies, even if it is at home.  We went to one movie before Hayden was born and haven't been back to the theater since.  We have thought about getting a pay per view movie at home, but we are both so tired by the time Hayden goes to bed, neither of us could stay up to watch the end.

  I second the freezer meals!  My mom and I made a few hotdishes and stuck in the freezer, so that all that was needed was heating the oven and sticking it in.  I have now vowed that food will be the gift that I give all of my friends when they have a baby because the last thing I wanted to do in the first month was cook an entire meal!

  Sleep in, have a special date night with your DH, get a haircut, and get a massage.
