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!!
-
Sleep! I know you can't store up sleep, but you can try anyways!
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. -
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.

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.
Nothing super exciting, just things that we knew would be more difficult to do with a baby.
-
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!
-
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.
-
A movie! With a very small purse, just keys and a credit card.
-
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!
And getting a massage. Oh how I wish I could get a massage!
-
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.
-
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?
-
Pedicure, shopping, dinner out with DH, and then sleep
-
Dinner out, movie, sex & sleep!
-
Sleep in! I can't remember the last time I've slept past 8am, it's definitely been almost 20 months.
-
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.
-
Sleep, as everyone has said.
Lounge on the sofa and watch marathons or hours and hours of TV, just relaxing. I can't remember the last time I've just enjoyed being lazy on the sofa.
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.
-
Mani/pedi, go out to a fancy dinner, sleep, watch a movie with DH and sleep in!
-
Movie, late dinner, read a book alone.
-
See movies, read and Sleeep!!! Congrats on your upcoming delivery. My son was born September 7th! Virgo babies rule!
-
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.
-
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!
-
Swim...naked.
-
I couldn't sleep, so that was out, lol.
We went to a Christmas market, I was gigantic, but it was fun and I bought a ton of things.
-
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.
Go shopping at small boutiques, places you wouldn't ever take kids (and strollers don't often fit!)
-
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.
@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.
@T.H.O.U,: I think I will feel the same way about being stuck inside, especially with the c-section recovery.
Do you think having a nice dinner with DH and leaving dsd here alone is mean (she's 16)? Should we include her instead?
@mrsmccarthy: I'm excited about my virgo baby, even though it's not a scorpio like me, hehe.
-
Go see movies. Lots and lots of movies. I miss the theatre!
-
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.
-
@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). .
-
Movie!!! 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.
