What would you do? Now I know it is pessimistic to say life ends once you have a baby, but in truth life as you know it ends when you have a baby. My last day of work is July 31, but my due date is not until August 23. That leaves me 3 weeks to do...what? That's what I want to know. What do you suggest? And remember, no traveling. So no last minute road trips to Chatanooga to see Natalie and her family - sorry, Nat. That would be my first choice. Keeping that limitation in mind, how would you, or did you, or wish you would have, spent those few precious weeks before your life changed forever?

Wha?!? I didn't even know that was an option! Come on. Emily is going to be here.....
Other than that, dates, movies (at the theatre) and sleep. Sleep sleep sleep.
Natalie stole mine. SLEEP THE WHOLE TIME.
Definitely sleep. Also, see as many movies as you can in the theater and eat out as much as possible. Date your hubby every night for the next 3 weeks, and then sleep the rest of the time. Going out of the house--especially on a date--will never be the same again. Enjoy!
I fourth the whole sleep thing. TJ and we just wondering when we were going to actually get a good night's sleep again. We figured it would be in about 20+ years! Although, maybe your children will be better and not wake you up at 5:30am...not that our children did that this morning :)
NOT working. I made that mistake w/ ethan. I thought I'd be bored out of my mind, so I got a temp job. Relax and do whatever you want. I wouldn't leave any projects until the baby comes, because it might never get done. And yes, sleep. Naps, sleep in, sleep through the night, etc. And date nights. Live it up, you are on a deadline.
Any project you have aspirations of doing in the next year of life - DO NOW. Otherwise, it will never get done. Just ask Tanner why he still doesn't have bumper pads or a crib yet. I've got the materials to make the bumper pads and four sides of a crib awaiting varnish in the garage...
I would say go and get a pedicure maybe even a facial if you could stand to be on your back that long. being able to relax without worrying if your child might wake up or want to eat in the middle of a relaxation would be nice. And do whatever shopping you might need that would take alot of time in numerous stores, running in and out with a car seat can get tiring.
With my hubby. As much time as possible with the man you love before baby takes over your energy
