    Puzzles are a great way to pass the time. I've also been doing meal planning, finding recipes for good milk production, and figuring that stuff out for afterwards. You could always read a book, do a project, or play video games (if you're into that).

    Take on a new hobby :) do little projects here and there. I'm on bed rest now and I will also be a stay at home mom. I'm enjoying the time I have before the baby comes, but yes it does get boring hahha look for some craft ideas, if you are planning on making your baby food, make your own recipe book of it :) sew, paint, create craft kits for your children. And most definitely read a book. Read out loud even and let your baby hear you :)

    At least you have a kid to take care of :) I am a housewife, I'm 35 weeks. I walk an hour a day with my dog and clean. I also make sure I do my hair and make up even though some days I don't leave. Throughout bouts of nesting spells, I try to relax and watch Netflix. Most of the time I'm on Pinterest reading articles on newborn care or parenting or anything really. It's boring for me too, I miss working.

    I am planning on being a SAHM once this baby is born. I've never not worked before, so I'm a little afraid I'm gonna go crazy! But, I also don't want to my entire paycheck to go to daycare, which it would. And, I don't want to miss out on all the firsts. This is our first baby, and at 37, it may be our only baby.

    Been a SAHM for a few years now, honestly it IS boring. Espcially when you're just pregnant or have a child under 1-2. Laundry and cleaning only use up a fraction of your time, I find myself wanting to shop (which is always a bummer when you're down to one income lol). I would recommend reading or sewing or something to actually do. Watching TV or just laying around makes me super depressed after a while! Take it easy but also go do something - getting out into the fresh air always helps (even when it's this damn hot out in south florida!)

    I'm kind of jealous your 4-year-old is so busy. Mine is driving me absolutely insane because he has ALL THE ENERGY and I have NONE. So I've been chillaxing and he's been destroying our house on a daily basis. :-P (2 more weeks until summer preschool begins... and counting!)

    Have something to do that gets you out of the house. I work a couple of hours every other night as a dance teacher. And that fills a lot of the time that I am not doing laundry, cleaning or taking care of kiddos. But it gives me something else to do other than running a house :)

    I'm planning on returning to work but as we have good maternity leave here in UK I'm taking 11 months off which is a bit like being a SAHM. I wish I could get bored right now, it seems like 5 mins after I'm awake the day is done and I haven't achieved a whole lot and there is still loads to do! I'm so behind on things I'm just too overwhelmed to kick myself up the bum and actually do it lol. I liked doing hobbies with my first- reading, sewing etc all very relaxing. Once your new baby is here you will probably find your time is a lot fuller with two children to look after, especially when they both want your attention for different things at the same time x
