Who else is overdue?

I need a grumbling buddy. What do you do to pass the time? I'm super thankful that DH has the next 3 days off, so he will entertain me... the days leading up to the due date were SO hard to focus on anything other than the baby!
The nursery is set up and ready, all chores in the whole house are done, hospital bag packed and ready in the car, car seat installed and awaiting baby, freezer will not fit any more dinners... what else do I do?! I have watched every single Olympic event, PVR'd each channel so I'd have something to watch. Ha. Wow. Running out of ideas! What are you OD girls doing to bide your time?

CRAFTY ME
my read shelf:
Overdue here! And trying to just focus on each day and not think about how many I still have!
My birthday is Tuesday, so Saturday I plan to get the car washed and detailed inside and out, and clean house, its already clean as that?s all I do any more, but somehow I manage to find things to clean, tidy, or organize!
Sunday we are going to see a movie in the morning, get pedicures, maybe some pool time, or a nap, and then Dinner to Roy?s! I am so excited about dinner! I love this place!
Monday I have another dr appointment, and work, and IF I am making progress then my doc has me set to induce Monday night so that hubby can be here, (military, he is leaving the week after) so I am hoping and praying against hope that I have something going on!
Also this weekend there is a Meteor shower, so I am hoping that the stars will align and this will be the week my son comes! And if we end up being induced on Monday evening, he will share my birthday on Tuesday with me! What a great birthday gift! The baby I have been dreaming of for 5 years!
)
I hope the time goes by faster for you, just try to think about the days, and not the time still to go... Good Luck!
Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!
Baby Dust To All!!!
I'll be your buddy! I'm due today with nothing.
I've been off work for two months...so I know a thing or two about being bored. All my projects are done as well.
I keep the house clean on a daily basis. I cook dinner every night. I take naps. I read crappy books. We don't have cable but we watch a lot of Netflix. I lurk on TB a lot (and post occasionally).
I'm going to start getting my a** in gear though and go for daily walks. Today I have an acupuncture appointment to try to induce labor (I go regularly any way for headaches).
And yep, I lay around waiting for any kind of contraction or water leak!!
Yep this is me. 40w/4d and I'm actually HOPING to wet my pants in public. XD
I'm taking long walks every day, hanging out with my parents and watching TV. Also trying to see friends every other day. Just got induction scheduled for Tuesday late afternoon so hopefully that will give me a kick in the pants to get laundry done.
still here. Yeah I have nothing to do either. Everythings done. It really gets to me if I don't get out of the house every day, at least to go to the store or something. Yesterday I had my mom visit so it distracted me for a while.
I'm planning on reading today (I'm not a big book reader, but every once in a while I don't mind). I think I might add to a blanket that I crocheted our LO to make it a little bigger. I've tried everrrrrything to get this labor progressing and nothing has worked so I'm assuming he's going to probably be in there until 42 weeks. Honestly idk if I can last until then though so I might be looking at pit next week.
Still here! I had a great night sleep last night....which totally SUCKS because I wanted some cramping or something lol! About to head out for round two of a long walk and acupuncture.
Feeling ridiculously tired today. Probably just all the walking finally catching up to me. Also feeling like I am about pee. For the last 4 hours. No water breaking yet!
