Also dinner somewhere fancy where you have to be quiet. ;) And get dessert so you can keep talking about everything before Baby takes over the conversation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1070147 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 11:07:24 +0000 MrsStormy 1070147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: I don't think having a nice dinner with your DH without SD is mean, I think its perfectly normal and healthy for you guys to get a special "date", she's 16, she should be okay fending for herself for a few hours (as long as there is food in the house she can eat). . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069874 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:37:44 +0000 cascademom 1069874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Movies, sleep, dinners. I wish that we did more dinners before LO arrived. Lots of relaxing too. I worked up until I went into labor like hours before I did. I wouldn't have minded putting my feet up for awhile before going into labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069843 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:27:04 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1069843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go see movies. Lots and lots of movies. I miss the theatre! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069837 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 09:25:02 +0000 marionberry 1069837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been able to sleep very well in weeks, so sleeping in is unlikely, but at least trying to sleep in would be nice.</p> <p>@Looch: I wish it was Christmas time because I love things like that. I may actually see if some of our harvest festival locations are opening up yet so that I can get some apple cider and apple cider doughnuts though. That might be fun.</p> <p>@T.H.O.U,: I think I will feel the same way about being stuck inside, especially with the c-section recovery. </p> <p>Do you think having a nice dinner with DH and leaving dsd here alone is mean (she's 16)? Should we include her instead?</p> <p>@mrsmccarthy: I'm excited about my virgo baby, even though it's not a scorpio like me, hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069455 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 06:27:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1069455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get out of the house! I felt a bit trapped those next few weeks so even if I was sitting around somewhere else it was nice. </p> <p>Go shopping at small boutiques, places you wouldn't ever take kids (and strollers don't often fit!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069445 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 06:19:56 +0000 looch 1069445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't sleep, so that was out, lol.</p> <p>We went to a Christmas market, I was gigantic, but it was fun and I bought a ton of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069422 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 05:38:46 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1069422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swim...naked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069407 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 04:22:11 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1069407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep :) Maybe get a spa treatment, mani pedi, facial, if it's your thing? Honestly, even if it isn't your thing, it'll be glorious looking back months from now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069399 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 03:28:28 +0000 Pepper 1069399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely get a mani/pedi if that's something you enjoy! I'm dying for one right now, but I haven't had the time. Also if you need a haircut or your eyebrows waxed, or anything like that, I'd do it now! I also agree with going out for a nice dinner since those will be rare in the coming months, and sleeping in. Oh, how I miss sleeping in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069387 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 02:40:22 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1069387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>See movies, read and Sleeep!!!

I can't remember the last time I've just enjoyed being lazy on the sofa. </p> <p>Get a haircut (I still haven't had one 6 months pp). Get a mani/pedi and say YES to every extra treatment/massage offered. Go out w/DH for a long, multi-course meal enjoyed slowly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069304 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 23:50:00 +0000 dojo 1069304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely sleep! I miss my lazy weekend mornings! Go see a movie and have a nice meal and/or do something nice like get a pedicure or haircut! My LO came early and I was a little mad that I didn't get to have my pedicure that I had planned for the following weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069285 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 23:26:34 +0000 lemondrop 1069285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep in! I can't remember the last time I've slept past 8am, it's definitely been almost 20 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069281 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 23:23:36 +0000 mrskc 1069281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dinner out, movie, sex &amp; sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069254 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 23:06:21 +0000 Smurfette 1069254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pedicure, shopping, dinner out with DH, and then sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069223 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:51:14 +0000 marionberry 1069223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH would love to go to a movie and we could bring dsd (who's 16) so that would be a good family thing to do this weekend. I wonder if there's anything good out. Any great movie recommendations? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069207 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:41:22 +0000 Sweet T 1069207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely go to the movies! I haven't been to a movie since I was pregnant with DS1. He just turned two! I'd take care of some last minute pampering too. You never know when you'll have time once baby arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069206 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:41:19 +0000 sunny 1069206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second getting your hair done! You won't have time for a lengthy appointment once your LO is here... at least, I didn't until my LO was 6 months old!</p> <p>And getting a massage. Oh how I wish I could get a massage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069197 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:37:50 +0000 Elderberrygin 1069197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A movie! With a very small purse, just keys and a credit card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069193 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:35:32 +0000 marionberry 1069193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I'm loving the idea of a massage! My hair could definitely use a highlight touchup. Maybe it'll be a beautification weekend, lol. Thank goodness I get paid tomorrow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069176 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:26:00 +0000 Boheme 1069176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get a chance to do the things on my list since my baby was a little early! Our plans were to see a movie or two and eat dinner at a couple of non child friendly places. I also wish I would've gotten a pedicure and a haircut! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069171 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:21:51 +0000 lovehoneybee 1069171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the last week before E was born DH and I went out to dinner twice...long dinners at restaurants that didn't have kid's menus. I got a haircut and a pedicure. On Saturday we just took off driving. No plan, no destination in mind. We stopped at fruit and veggie stands, browsed consignment shops and randomly stopped to watch a movie. </p> <p>Nothing super exciting, just things that we knew would be more difficult to do with a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069170 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:21:17 +0000 deerylou 1069170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a planed induction on a Monday evening. That Saturday, we went out for dinner, saw a movie, and grabbed gelato before heading home. On Sunday, we spent the afternoon berry picking and jam tasting up the coast, and went out for a decadent brunch the next morning. It was an awesome weekend! I definitely recommend doing things you enjoy, but nothing too strenuous; relaxation is where it's at! Go to bed early, and sleep late. If I could have a do over, I would have also booked a prenatal massage, and gotten a fresh pedicure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069166 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:19:04 +0000 skibobrown 1069166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep! I know you can't store up sleep, but you can try anyways!<br /> Also, see a movie. We've only seen two in the 17 months since DD was born b/c that's an activity that requires that you leave your child at home with a sitter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-on-your-last-weekend-of-freedom#post-1069157 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:13:06 +0000 marionberry 1069157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I'm having a planned c-section in a week, this is my last weekend as a woman without an infant. I want to do those things that would maybe be difficult once I have a kid. Any suggestions?! Give me ideas!! </p>
