What else am I supposed to be doing?
I mean, with my time. I'm not quite sure how to fill it. I feel like I must be missing something. Last week was great. No problems filling the day with cooking, cleaning, getting some exercise, running some errands.
This week has been slower. Although I spent Monday afternoon having lunch with friends (which was lovely!) I've been rather wanting for things to do since then. (I know, I know, I shouldn't admit this, right?) It's way too hot to go out walking. We don't really have TV. One can only read so much. Granted, some of my inactivity was involuntary - yesterday I accidentally locked my keys in the car and was tied to the house. But, I mean... what do I do?
The baby clothes are washed. Diapers, etc, are stocked, as well as my "goodies" for after L&D. The house is clean (enough). The hospital bag is packed (minus PJs for D). I prepped a dish of lasagna today that I mean to freeze and save for after Baby arrives. Tomorrow I'll make & freeze some banana bread. The phone number for the food ladies from church are stored in my cell phone. The car seat is installed, the bassinet set up. There's gas in the car.
My mother and sister are emailing or calling every day to find out what's going on. And what do I tell them? NOTHING. Nothing is happening. Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment, and I expect more of the same.
Come on, Baby, come on.
My guess? July 4th.

we ended up pulling out the 1,000 piece puzzles we were so anxious the first time! then she ended up being two weeks late...but i really wasn't going to tell you that. :)
you can do it!!! rah rah!
I pretty much pulled the plug on the phone the last week (I went 42 wks with #2) and wanted to cry. Enjoy the quiet & nap (since I'm sure sleeping at night is tough now), walk your stairs if it's too hot to go outside...and just watch a movie or two I suppose (just saw my first one in the theatre, that was not a cartoon, since Juno the other night). Hang in there!
hang in there! praying for you guys!
Brittany, as other commenters have attested, I hope you find some comfort that you are **not**--not, not, not, not--alone in wanting stuff to do before baby arrives. For us, it was fixation on getting a Wii, which came out a couple weeks before Syd, um, "came out." We waited at 5:30 AM to get one on release day, but were *one person shy* of getting one. We waited early Black Friday to no avail. In boredom, we drove to a remote Wal-Mart an hour away, hoping they'd have one. Finally got one at Target two days before the induction--yup, Jess waited outside for hours, in the cold snow, 9 months pregnant, to get a Wii. I have a truly awexome wife. :-)
