Seriously! She's only 5 days late and I'm officially out on maternity leave. I've watched lots of TV, documentaries (I watched all the episodes of Ken Burns Jazz!), gone for walks everyday. Done some errands, but I can't be out for long periods of time because I have to plan my trips around the bathroom.
I've played Wii and board games. I've picked out birth announcements. I've ordered cute props for the baby's first photo shoot.
What the hell else can I do? I am so bored!

@chopsuey119: Done! I got a mani/pedi, too. And I've read every post on here, WB, and The Bump! Ha. DH says I should be enjoying this time because I won't have it again.
I'm going to go stalk Pinterest now.

Get a pedicure.
Spend six hours attempting to shave your legs around your tummy.
Order a couple of e-books.
Download all 17 seasons of America's Next Top Model.
Start a blog (or write for the one you've got).
Draw pictures on your tummy with non-toxic markers and take photos of them.
Cook some food and freeze it for after the birth.
Start planning your baby's first birthday party.
Take up a craft that takes forever to learn.
Start fifteen new pinterest boards.

@Arden: E-books! Yes, I have been neglecting my Kindle.
I like the pictures on the tummy, too.
Great ideas!

I've been thinking about you and wondering how you were doing! I wish I had some good ideas for you, but I can see myself in your shoes next week!
My only thought would be to have friends come by and hang out if you have some nearby that are free! Good luck and hang in there! Excited to see a birth story from you soon!

@mrsjazz: when I was at the end, I honestly didn't want to do anything! I just watched TV and read books. Being up on my feet too long wore me out. So cooking/cleaning was out of the question. DH picked up a lot of slack for me...
I hope your baby girl comes soon!

My brother suggested I take up model airplanes. If I get desperate enough, I might just have to take his advice...

@winniebee: I was thinking you might have some suggestions being on bedrest.
Ice cream sounds awesome right now.

Enjoy being bored. You won't know that feeling for a long, long time.

@mrsjazz: pinterest, hellobee, finding a life insurance policy, scouting out more baby clothes, reading up on Parenting tips, ordering thank you notes and return labels for post-baby gifts, order DH a fathers day gift....those are some of the things I have done!
