Shall I be the first to say that I'm really not bored in the slightest, then?!

I WAS very bored when I first started, but we have the end of our building project to contend with, 2 horses and I had a pretty rough time earlier in pregnancy. Now I'm just tired. I do seem to do lots to keep me busy but I don't tend to have much of a pattern to it. I obviously have to do my horses morning and evening (unless my husband is kind enough to do them on his own!) and I spend a lot of time researching and reading around pregnancy, labour and birth. I've had classes to attend and have tried to make time to meet up with people. My cleaning tends to come in waves - I will have manic days where I don't sit down at all and other really lazy days where all I do is the minimum like the hoovering, the dishwasher and the kitchen/bathroom surfaces. Oh and I'm quite a good swimmer and was doing a mile a day about 4 times a week until about 32 weeks when I just had to slow down significantly. I find it really difficult now (on my hips really). That's only as I've got later into pregnancy, though.

So I'm not bored anymore. I'm excited and writing lots of lists and planning to pack hospital bags and things, but not quite finishing the tasks at hand!

I was like that at first thinking 'hmm what I shall do', but the weeks have flown and I've really not been bored much at all. I've washed baby things, got the moses basket sorted, packed my hospital bag, made sure I went and got everything for then, and then just relaxed, watched tv, read my books/mags, visited a couple of people, popped back into work to see all the kids.
Then when the baby comes I'll always be busy lol so I'm making the most of relaxing.

Pfft, I dunno either. I finished work at 29 weeks to move abroad. The idea was that I would get the house sorted while my husband found a new job, and then I could get ready for the baby, then if I had spare time I would sort our wedding photos into the album (which we still haven't done yet, even though the wedding was last summer). Unfortunately the move didn't go to plan (our things are stuck on our van in the middle of France until further notice), so we are living on the bare essentials.

I spend my days going to town and back and watching TV. I can't sort the house because we only have clothes here. Guh. I hope it gets busier soon, because I actually have a lot to do before the baby is born; if only I had the stuff here! I did buy "what to expect in the first year" so have been dipping in and out of that trying to learn as much as possible before the baby comes, and I've been window shopping for baby stuff (without hubby having a job we can't actually afford to buy anything yet, which is pretty frightening!), and trying to find a girls name!

I've just been signed off work and my note takes me up to my finishing date - I only had two weeks to go but I'm a bit in shock that I won't be going back to work for about a year!!! I don't think its really sunk in yet . . . but I think I'll write lots of lists and get stuff done Its such a lovely day today I've been thinking how lovely its going to be having the spring / summer off - I'm so glad I'm having a spring baby!!!
