He's a school administrator, so he gets summers off. We watched a movie every single day (in the theater) because we knew it would be awhile before we got out again, and we totally do not regret doing this! It's actually one of our fond memories about my mat. leave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372464 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 14:27:18 +0000 Periwinkle 372464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally just hit that point too, where I am "ready" to get this show on the road and meet Baby! Now that we have our power back and I am not working (campus shut down all week), I have been obsessively cleaning and organizing again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372449 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 14:20:24 +0000 phdmommy 372449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>tons of walking and bouncing on the birthball! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372430 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 14:13:44 +0000 Running Elley 372430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I walked on the treadmill a lot, deep cleaned my house, made more freezer meals, ate pineapple, watched 90210 on Netflix and did more to the nursery lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372429 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 14:13:39 +0000 mrsjyw 372429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: i am still working, remotely! that's been nice!</p> <p>@hilsy85: i'm not usually a baker, but ive been baking lots! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372420 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 14:09:20 +0000 lovehoneybee 372420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent a lot of time bouncing and rolling on a yoga ball while watching Gossip Girl on Netflix. And walking. Or waddling, rather, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372338 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:42:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 372338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: oh yeah... I actually felt better pregnant than I did/do not pg!! hahaha... I tried pulling the body image thing with DH and he doesn't care. It's hard to "hide" from him lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372307 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:35:02 +0000 DillonLion 372307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: My issue was more body image over pre-term labor, but both of them worried me (even if the worry was totally unfounded). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372303 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:33:52 +0000 Mrs. Pen 372303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: really? I talked to my mw about it because I first felt contractions in the early third tri from sex; she said that sex won't induce labor unless you were already going to go into labor. So we just kept on going :)</p> <p>It does get hard at the end though for sure! DH would always squish my bump which hurt for sure but he learned to be more gentle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372270 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:25:01 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 372270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left the house! I went to dinner and movies and pedicures and everything fun! Basically I forced myself to get my mind off of my anticipation &amp; excitement:)<br /> And now that I have DS--I'm glad I did that...because with mI weather: it's very hard to go out much without risking baby's health. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372260 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:22:23 +0000 prettylizy 372260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get a chance, my water broke on the night after my last day of work at 37w2d!!!</p> <p>I would suggest lots of list making and task completing, because as much as people tell you to rest and relax, I know the anxious feelings make you want to get things done. Lots of walks and red raspberry leaf tea too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372259 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:22:01 +0000 DillonLion 372259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Yess. We haven't DTD in like 6 weeks b/c I was paranoid about pre-term labor (oh and also huge and feeling unattractive). But once 37 weeks rolls around (tomorrow) I plan on having lots of sex if DH will agree and let us do it with the lights off ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372258 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:21:35 +0000 bushelandapeck 372258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading, walking, trying to get myself mentally and physically prepared for l&amp;d. I tried to stay as busy as possible, but looking back, I wish I had gotten a little more sleep ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372251 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:20:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 372251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: haha same! I even tried doing a cardio dance video at 37 weeks pg: epic fail haha!!</p> <p>oh and sex :-P I actually did get contractions during sex so who knows maybe you can bring about the real thing lol!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372247 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:19:03 +0000 hilsy85 372247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of law and order svu marathons :) and baking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372235 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:14:53 +0000 heffalump 372235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a lot of trying to get the baby out. Eating all the foods that they tell you to eat (spicy, chinese, etc), did a lot of walking. All the old wives tales. None of it worked, but it made me feel like I was trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372197 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 13:07:48 +0000 hellobeeboston 372197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg - this time before the babe arrived was really brutal! I kept trying to enjoy it, but was so anxious/excited/stressed I didn't know what to do!</p> <p>I was able to work from home the two weeks prior to my due date so that kept me pretty busy. Are you still working? I think that was key for me.</p> <p>I also stocked supplies for the house, reorganized my kitchen and some other nesting type things. Dh and I went out to eat a few times and we had a couple picnic lunches - it helped because we were both so ready! I was also a day overdue so my due date was an especially tough day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372131 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:48:45 +0000 autumnlove 372131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of cleaning and organizing the nursery and just watching lots of TV series and movies on Netflix! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-372059 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:24:09 +0000 BelugaBean 372059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved across country when I was 37 weeks, 4 days. After that though we spent time with family and went out to eat when we could. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-u-pass-time-in-the-last-few-wks-b4-lampd#post-364388 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:18:49 +0000 mrsjyw 364388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Past fullterm..approaching 38 wks.
