Passing the time..

[havestar]

What is everyone doing to pass the time, waiting for their due date or labor to begin?

I taught myself how to sew and made some aden + anais type swaddlers and a crib skirt (which I'm going to redo with some ruffles). I made some shabby chic flower hairbands. This week I'm going to do some burp cloths. And in the upcoming weeks I'm making a custom pendant lamp, finishing a custom mobile and I need to dye some crib sheets.

I still have some big items to buy - like the carseat/stroller - but I'm waiting until a few more weeks.

Even though that seems like a lot, I feel like I need more to do. LOL

Work and a 1 year old and a four year old, in addition to school online, are taking all my time, but with my first I had a lot of fun making curtains and such. I remember it was a really fun time!

We've only just started decorating the nursery so that'll keep us busy for a few more weeks. That includes making cot bumpers, a mobile, curtains etc. I made some taggy blankets a few weeks ago that I was really pleased with!

I work full time but am going down to 4 day weeks from next week (whoop!) so will have a bit more time on my hands. I plan to go for a swim once a week to try to keep nice and active.

I am a mature student finishing my last year of University with my last two bits of work due in just over a week away, I am moving house a week before my due date, and I have a soon to be 3 year old. So in the unlikely event I get some time to myself between now and then I would take a nap.

~Sigh. You just made my day! I feel the same way. Between the husband, the 2 kids, 4 dogs, 15 horses, and the doctoral dissertation in the works, I'd just like to take a shower longer than a couple of minutes. Uninterrupted.

Wrapping up some writing and editing of the scholarly variety and hoping I can get it all done before she arrives. Spending, however, much of my time procrastinating by reading things of the non academic variety (the Gone series is fab), baking, cooking and shopping.

Or pee without a toddler, dog and cat looking at me! That would never happen though.

Ha, too true!! Our new house has way bigger bathrooms than our old one which simply allows for more friends to join me while I pee...
