Well, it's 9:45am and we've used the swing, read a book, walked for 45 minutes and stared at each other.I guess the Moby is next.
Anyone else get bored all day? I don't go back to teaching until August.

Re: I'm Bored all Day
I'd for sure be up for something next week. I've got like one hour plans tomorrow afternoon. Tiny catch. . . I'm actually in the Burbs
PM me 
I still have trouble with this and LO is much older than yours.
Try to do little things like, drive for coffee or run to the post office. That'll get you started!
I was thinking about taking the 5 min drive to Dunkin' Donuts to satisfy my iced coffee addiction. Good idea.
Yes! I took DD to DD (hahahaha) yesterday! Now I'm trying to find something for today. We walked to McDonalds this morning.
I was just reading about babies that get overwhelmed yesterday. How do you know that happens? She just gets totally unhappy? Poor thing!
I hear you Sarah. Do you have daycare lined up? I have a parent at my school watching LO. I know it will still be hard, but it's nice to know the person and trust them.
I'm for sure not cut to be a SAHM. My sis has two little ones with a third on the way and is a SAHM. I bow down to her!
Yes, bored. We just moved to this area in January, and I have exactly 1 friend here who has a full-time job 6 days a week. DH works from 6:30am-7pm or later... so LO and I are pretty much stuck in the house. OH! And the a/c decided to go out in my car... and I really don't want to put the little man in there unless absolutely necessary. So no going to the mall/store just for the heck of it.
Maybe today we'll take a walk around the neighborhood in the sling.
Sounds like it's time to get out of the house ;-)
Seriously though - baby will never be more portable than she is now so get going!

I was reading your baby carriers link. I should try to walk with LO in the carrier and not just the stroller. That will help us to mix it up!
I am SO BORED most of the time. Our son spent 10 weeks in the NICU, and nothing can compare to that level of boredom. He was discharged at the beginning of April. I've been off work since he was born on 1/25, and I go back in a week and a half. I'm looking forward to getting out of the house for sure.
In our case, we can't even really go anywhere because of RSV. So, we're basically stuck in the house all day. That makes it 10x worse.
Blah.
I'm probably in the minority, but I am LOVING being on maternity leave. DH went back to work two days after we got home from the hospital and I love being home with DD. We go for lots of errands and walks during the day. It definetely helps that she is an easy going baby so far. My sister is also home with her four kids, so we spend one to two afternoons a week visiting over there, too.
We visited the childcare center she will most likely go to in the fall this morning and though I am excited to get back to teaching, it breaks my heart to know she will be there close to forty hours a week!
I get bored and getting out isn't as easy for me. We live out in the country and to go to the mall or Target is a 30 min drive and I don't feel like going that far just to get out of the house.
The weather has been crappy so getting out for a walk or to hang out outside isn't happening. Once the weather is better I will be out side all the time though.
I just keep my self busy with Olivia, house work, or do one of my hobbies.
I had to go back to work this week. It's only for the last 3 weeks of school, but still! I was like you about going back to work and leaving her with someone else, but when I picked her up yesterday all I had to do was say hello and she was reaching for me. It was one of the most wonderful feelings in the world! We were lucky and found someone in the town we work in (different than where we live) to keep her and I can run over and just hold her for a little bit at lunch.
