I have tomorrow off of work and DS has daycare, and DH has work. I have no idea what I should do with myself for a whole day. I'm 32 weeks pregnant, so that kind of limits some options. What would you do if you had an entire day to yourself?

Mani/pedi, visit an ice cream shop, watch something on TV I don't get to watch when DH is home. Nap when I want to.

Sleep. Go buy snacks I don't want to share. Then binge watch something. Or head to my favorite store by myself.

Shop! I don't mind running errands with LO, but it takes so much longer when I have to get him in and out of his car seat!

I've had the past two weeks to myself! OK, I've been recovering but the second week, I've been binge-watching all the stuff I don't usually get to watch, read a couple of mysteries, and have been ordering take-out during the day.
I want this life permanently and am trying to figure out how I can not go back to work but still have money

Get back in bed after LO goes to daycare. Browse the internet on my phone while waiting for the morning's caffeine intake to kick in. Take a REALLY LONG poop and shower while listening to 90s alternative as loud as I want. Make a list of stuff that needs to get done. Don't do them - it can all wait til later. Go see a movie, get lots of popcorn (lunch). Come home. Get back in bed. Watch an episode of something on Netflix. Drag myself out of bed to pick up LO from daycare.
But since you're pregnant, I'm gonna go ahead and shorten all of that to SLEEP with a short break to pick up and devour bad foods that no one else can judge you for or steal off your plate! ENJOY!!

Agree with PP! Mani/pedi/iced coffee/some shopping/takeout lunch and home for a nap and bad tv. Can I come?

Treat yoself!
I'd go out for a leisurely breakfast, get a pedi, see if any SAHM friends are around. Read at a coffee shop, nap.

I had one last Sunday! Went to the mall and found some great sales, got a coffee then came home and binge watched OITNB!

@pregnantbee: I think I'll do some shopping I the morning and then go home and nap and watch some tv. I'd love to refresh my pedicure but the last time I got one I was SO uncomfortable in the chair. Weirdo pregnancy pregnancy problems . Not sure I want to go to a super expensive place just so my butt doesn't hurt, lol.

i haven't had a single day to myself since having LO1 almost 4 years ago, but I'm about to have one in a couple weeks!

This is me today! First time since LO was born!!
I slept in, took my time showering and doing my makeup (usually so rushed!), and I've been binge watching OITNB while drinking hot coffee all morning. About to go pick up some lunch and then return for more of the same lol.
I'm lazy at heart, and really enjoy not doing ANYTHING.
(I did also do a load of laundry and do a little cleaning and unload the dishwasher earlier so that I wouldn't feel too guilty about DH working all day while I do shit haha)

@ShootingStar: What did you end up doing? I think a lot of us are living vicariously through you Hope you had a wonderful day.

I'd start the day early to get lots of bang for my buck! Breakfast out at a cafe with good coffee and reading. Massage. Nice lunch with more reading. Go home and lay in bed binge watching for the rest of the day. While playing candy crush, obviously.

@pregnantbee: I had a pretty good day! I got DS off to daycare like usual and then I went to target. I set up a registry there so I could get a $20 gift card and then I picked up some stuff we needed. I walked around the mall a little, treated myself to a pretzel at Auntie Anne's and then bought a bunch of nursing bras at Motherhood.
Then I had lunch at home, watched some tv and lounged around. DH came home and we got DS and had dinner at Chik-fil-a. I was craving a milkshake .

My MIL gets me a spa got card every year, so I always take a day to hang out at the spa. I get a couple of treatments, lay around the waiting room and read, sit outside, sir in the pool/hot tub... It's heavenly! I can only do that because I get the gift card, though. Without that, I'd probably get a pedicure at my local place and go see a movie and wander around the mall.
