I need a project or something...

What do you do at 39 weeks when you don't work, the nursery is done, bag is packed and house is clean?

I have had 3 people say "this is the week!!" already today and I need a distraction. Anyone got ideas?

    If I was home, I'd be sleeping for sure.

    yeah, definately nap!  That's all I do on weekends nowadays. : )

    you could do freezer meals, you could organize your linen closet or underneath your bathroom sinks, you could start a Christmas shopping list, you could plan a few weeks' meals and go online and find recipes, you can go through your closet and get rid of clothes you don't wear anymore, you could look at a calendar at all the birthdays you have coming up in the next three months and run out and get cards, you could start a new TV series that you've always wanted to get into . . .

    my H keeps telling me that I should just start staying home (due on Friday) but I think I'd be bored at home!

    Did you prepare meals ahead of time and freeze them yet? That could be something to do if you planned to. Unfortunately, for as helpful as people say that may be, I don't see myself doing that....... Good luck to you!

    You should practice your field goal kicking.

    To the person who posted this...please come organize me!!!

    I never even thought about the meal freezing!  What a good idea!

    My closets are organized..but that did make me think of some other things that need to be organized.

    I'm not doing freezer meals because I'm fortunate enough that H will be home the first month and he's a better cook than me.

    LB, even at 39 weeks pregnant, I'm convinced I could kick that field goal better than Hartley.

    Thanks for your ideas, ladies!

    Don't uber flame me, but have you ever done scrapbooking? Instead of a baby book I've been doing that for Little A. I just don't have any creativity in me right now. It's kind of cathartic! I've planned out a family tree with little photos of our family, and put in pics of his nursery and all that sappy jazz!

    Take a baby CPR class, clean garage/basement.  Ours was a mess so we did that this weekend.  But I should take another baby CPR class because I forgot everything from last time!  I am not making freezer meals either, I did a few last time but H is picky about frozen things and sometimes they don't turn out that well after thawing.  I am still working but reduced hours since my pt job has not been busy at all. Like you H will be home for a month and he is a great cook. But I'm with you and getting bored/antsy.  My 3 year old is at pre-school right now so I have worked out, and went to the grocery store but now I don't have to work until 4 and this time of day is when I get bored.

    I love scrapbooking! I haven't done one since I was in the middle school though haha. I was going to wait till she was born to do one..I have a "pregnancy journal" that I've been keeping for her for the pregnancy though.
