embobolina · August 2015

I'm 36 weeks and finish work today! I have no idea what I'm going to do with my time over the next few weeks! Nursery ready, hospital
Bag ready!!! I'm gonna go out of my mind!!!! Any suggestions?!

Enjoy being bored for possibly the last time in a long time! Enjoy the alone time you will miss it. And Netflix!

I agree with toshajade. Just relax. After labor everything is going to feel so hectic. Enjoy this free time while you still can.

I was in the same boat. I'm 40 weeks today. Believe me, you'll find things to do. Keeping up with regular house chores is one thing that never ends. Maybe read a book, watch Netflix, go to a movie, have a girl's day, scrapbook, make a craft off of Pinterest, etc. It will fly by! And you'll never be able to say you're bored again lol.

You'll find stuff!! Even if it is watching entire series on Netflix that you never knew you'd be interested in. Or pick up a new hobby!!

I was in the same boat! This is my third week off (now 40 weeks). I've read a couple books, made to-do lists and a commitment to go out for walks everyday. But a few days got really boring since I too have everything ready!! Try to see some friends...it might be a while until you get to hang with them without baby. Good luck!

Make freezer meals!!! You'll definitely appreciate them in a few weeks. Get a manicure and pedicure. Sit outside. (Honestly, I'd go insane. That's why I'm working until I go into labor.)

Yep I left work at 38 weeks and I've been so bored. Cleaning and cooking can only take you so far especially since most of my friends work so I didn't have anyone to talk to. I've been re watching Gossip Girl and having plenty of naps. Also I've been praying he comes on his DD or even a tiny bit early. I won't say try to relax because I've been trying and failing to do that since no one has given me any useful tips on how to actually do this lol.

Read books, go for long walks, window shop, internet surf (BUMP!), knit, go see a movie by yourself, and bounce on a yoga ball :-)

Lol enjoy it!

On my days off, I binge watch greys anatomy until I have to peel myself out of bed and I don't feel guilty at all. I work my butt off so when I actually allow myself to lay in bed all day and do nothing but watch tv, I know I totally deserve it! You're going to be taking on one of the hardest tasks soon, so don't feel like you need to be getting a bunch of stuff done. You need to take time to yourself and do things you enjoy.

I don't know, because I'm on day 2 of working from home and I'm bored out of my mind. I don't know why people think it's crazy to work till the end...even though I'm "working," I feel like there's nothing for me to do.

laylababe3 · August 2015

You can come over to my house and clean!

I'm working til the end and have zero time.. I wish I was in your position!

Nap!! Sleep, sleep and more sleep that's what I'm trying to do whenever the moment for a nap takes over I enjoy it. Soon sleep will be a distant memory. Also Netflix! I've re watched breaking bad and prison break in the 6 weeks I've been off lol

Chryssa-72603 · August 2015

I agree with everyone else... enjoy it! I'm a teacher, so I've been "off" since June. Unfortunately, I still have a TON of stuff to get ready for my sub while I'm on maternity leave. I had been planning on getting it all done last week since my c-section was scheduled for tomorrow. Baby had other plans, though, and my water broke last Tuesday! I also have an older DS who is almost 5, so life is pretty crazy right now. I definitely suggest that you enjoy the down-time as much as possible!

Try to relax and SLEEP! Our princess is a week old and I wish I would of slept more.

jesselayne8 · August 2015

If I wasn't playing referee all day between my 2 kids, I would nap and binge watch all the bravo and go for long walks.
