January 2016 Moms

Going nuts with a little over a week left!

I'm 38+2 my little girl is due January 2nd. I took my maternity leave two weeks early to have time at home to un wind but now I'm regretting that decision. I'm going nuts waiting for this little girl! I've been walking everyday trying to do as many things as I can to keep busy. I've always been very active person I used to go to the gym daily I was a nanny so I was constantly running around. I don't do so well with just staying home lol anyone have any suggestions as to how to keep busy during these last weeks?

    I don't have any suggestions, but just wanted to say that I feel your pain. I am due in 4 days and I am so impatient. I was planning to work until the baby came, but I had an accident and had to leave work early. It's so hard for busy independent ladies to sit around waiting for something to happen. It will be soon though, and hopefully the holidays will bring a welcome distraction. We are almost there mama!

  • I've got the same due date as you and I stopped working last week. I'm usually one that likes to stay busy and active and I'm sorta going nuts too! It's like I almost feel guilty for not doing anything. Not to mention I'm totally sick of this waiting game!!
  • Its so hard but just relax and try to enjoy the time off. We will be so busy here soon after our little ones come that taking this time will be good. Maybe prepare some freezer meals of spend time with family. Its been nice having my mom a teacher and my sister in school off and getting to spend this time with them over there break. Go on a few dates with your SO, take your dogs to the park, or your kids out to the library. It wont be as easy here soon. I'm going crazy to but my best friend keeps slamming it in to my head to relax, but keep busy and time is going to fly!
  • I'm due Jan 1 and the waiting game is killing me! I'm planning on working all the way till the end, but it's hard to focus. I'm just anxious to meet this little one!! I feel your pain ladies!
  • I'm due the 10th, and stopped my regular work schedule the week before last. I got so bored last week that I wrote my boss about picking up some shifts! And I am someone who REALLY likes to relax ;) I worked 3 days last week even though I was so ready to be done and I'm working 2 days this week too. I've also been forcing my parents to go to stores with me, or tagging along with them when they go somewhere. I look forward to baby keeping me busy in a short while! I'm betting I'll be ready to pull my hair out once she's here and keeping me awake all night long, but as of now I'm very excited for the work :)

  • I'm due the 12th and am feeling this way! I'm getting so impatient!
  • I would love to be on maternity leave and bored. I'm due the 22nd and have to work up until I go into labor as I have NO paid leave. I'm a hairdresser so I'm on my feet the whole time and I'm having a very rough pregnancy. I was in tears on my way to work today. I can't wait until it's over! Enjoy your restful time as much as possible.Good luck!
  • Keep busy?!?!!?!..... Relax!! I'm working all the way up to the birth God willing. You need to enjoy that blessing & unwind & pamper yourself.
  • I'm due on the 5th and stopped working on the 21st. Im glad to be home to rest, but I am getting so impatient and I am so miserable. I just want to be able to play with my 3 year old and not be pregnant anymore. I thought for sure this baby would come early, but he may very well be late, just like his sister.
