I'm looking for ideas/recommendations of things to do with the final weeks pre-baby since I stopped work unexpectedly this week on midwife's orders...
Besides getting the house baby-ready and napping at will, what should I enjoy while I can? Anything that will become nearly impossible once baby's here? Anything at all?
ETA: I'm 36 weeks, so a little restricted in what I can manage physically, but not on bedrest.

If I were you I'd get a manicure and pedicure and get your hair done (cut, colored, etc)! You won't really be able to go out and do those things for a while 
And go see some movies in the theater!!

I second hair and nails.
I'd go out for a loooong lunch. Make freezer meals. Set up grocery delivery for the weeks after birth. Catch up on thank you notes.

@mrs. wagon: oh yeah! I should have gotten my hair cut earlier in March. I have no idea when I'll be able to get it done now!

I'd definitely try to stock up on freezer food and any non-perishable stuff that you can buy ahead. Also I would try to schedule lunch or dinner dates with everyone I could to get in some last pre-baby friend bonding. And go see a lot of movies. My DH and I have been seeing movies most weekends lately because it feels like it might be a while before we get to do that again!

I took up crochet again. Hadn't done so for 10+ years. I needed something to do. I made baby blankets, hats and other stuff.

I'd get a pedicure and a bikini wax!
Prep meals, and spend some quality one on one time with my husband and dog!

Go out to eat in fancy restaurants if you can afford it. You won't be able to do that for a while.

Sleep, pedicure, clean the house top to bottom so that it's easy to maintain once baby is here, go see a movie!
