What fun things do you have planned before the baby gets here?

I always try to plan some fun things for the older kids for just before the baby comes, as well as some pampering for myself.
I took the kids to a “fun center” near our house that has bounce houses and zip lines and other play areas, because I know it will be a little while before I am up to braving crazy fun outings with the new baby.
I also got a pedicure with my mom yesterday; it felt so nice to get a firm foot and lower leg massage! I want to schedule something else nice for my actual due date so if my due date comes and I’m still pregnant, I have something to cheer me up.
My husband and I had a fancy date on New Years Eve, but I’d like to plan one more extra fun date night before the baby comes because I know that for awhile, our date nights will have to be shorter and will have to include a break for me tomorrow no breatmilk partway through. (Thank goodness for the car adapter for my breast pump.)
What sort of things do any of the rest of you have planned?

Re: What fun things do you have planned before the baby gets here?
I took DD on a mommy daughter date today
went to the Mall of America and took her on some rides and then saw Mary Poppins and ate expensive theater food! And now I’m wiped- who knew going to a movie would be so exhausting!!!
...came for the drama, but while I’m here...
Get yourselves mani pedis! I was so glad to at least have pretty nails for labor and to have pretty fingernails in the pictures. I had thought I was getting it done too soon but then my water broke 10 days before EDD. If you have to get them redone, even better!
And, go to a movie for me. 😉 I had planned to do that before he got here and missed it.
