...Obviously if you didnt even birth/ already had your baby.

I am due next week and if he doesnt appear before then I am planning to have a treat day (anything to distract me)

So far I am planning to be:

.Indulging in a long bath/ doing my nails.
.Eating yummy food all day- hopefully from M&S
.Having a lovely meal with dp- prob M&S meal deal thing.
.Making a cake- takes up time and can play with my new icing equipment (something I probably wont be able to do for a while once he is here)

So what did you do?
Do you wish you did something that you didn't do?
Do you have any (cheap) ideas?

DD1, watched 24 season 2 back to back.

DD2, stomped around in stroppy mood until I went into hospital at 7pm and had DD2 2 hours later

dd2 - wandered around the shops getting some last minute things. Went to a Pamper day - had a massage, lovely food, facial, won some chocs.

DS - can't remember, probably spent the day in tears as I was sooooo fed up at being enormous and pregnant.

DC2 - it's tomorrow and so far I have planned to go to the bottle bank with DS (he likes the smashing sound - cheap to entertain!), meet a couple of the girls for a cuppa and finally go for a sweep.

Fingers crossed by tea-time I will be calling himself and telling him to get home (he works a 3 hour dive away).

I wish I could remember! Was only 3.5 years ago!

With ds1 I went to a scout sailing session and stood on the dock all afternoon getting sick of people asking when I was due and gasping in disbelief when I told them!

With ds2 I went to soft play with ds1. Ds2 was born 45 minutes after we left!

Laughing at notso and her evil plan laugh!

No idea what I'm going to do - EDD is Christmas Day which pretty much rules out everything. Family too far away and I'm buggered if they're coming to stay. BIL and SIL live nearby but they're celebrating at her parents, and I really do not want to have Christmas at a stranger's house. Its bad enough (as in, wierd enough) at my PILs!

Santa had better bloody well bring his present early or on time, or I'm going on strike.

Had a membrane sweep in the afternoon. Popped my feet up when I got back and watched some trash on the tv then had a friend round for dinner. Lovely (though could have done without the sweep bit!)

Had DD the next day!

1st due date I was probably at home bf 6wo ds

2nd due date I was 'released' from hospital on blood pressure medication to try and get the homebirth I wanted. I went straight to the reflexologist to try and bring on labour as time was not on my side. Contractions started as soon as I stepped out of reflexologists! Had ds2 3 days later!
