Just started Mat Leave on lockdown, three weeks to baby - WTF do I do?

Just this!

Need things to do other than bitch about hubby's loud work voice on webex work calls and googling ways to induce labour.

If it weren't lockdown I'd be out and about prepping for baby, but obviously don't have that option now. Any suggestions on what I can until the labour starts? :)

Batch cook a load of meals for when baby is here, preferably stuff you can eat with one hand, cottage pie, fish pie, chilli, curry.

Sleep when you can, just in case you get a baby who hates sleep like one of mine did 😂

I’m also newly on maternity leave (although had been working from home before) and 3 weeks to go!

I am baking lots, online shopping for last of the baby bits I need, getting annoyed with furloughed DH for being in my space the whole time, taking lots of naps, lots of baths, reading, crocheting, gardening, moaning, drinking tea, watching Disney + with toddler.
Atttempting a walk out of the house too.

I’m really jealous of all the pregnant people on social media who seem to be being spoiled remotely with zoom baby showers.
But I wasn’t ever planning a baby shower originally so no idea why I’m jealous

As already said, batch cooking, online shopping, sleeping, Netflix.

I've got 3 weeks to go too, but I'm expecting DC2 so I have a 2 year old to entertain all day whose nursery is shut. DP is hiding upstairs pretending to work. I'm very jealous OP!
