Hey there missmel I have also finished up wk only a week ago & I'm goin nuts. But this weekend I sat down and made a list of things 2 do ova the next 4 weeks (thats all i have left to go). This may help you and because you still have quite a while to go u can just make an extra big one. I will share some ideas with u I hope it helps I'm a real list person so brace yourself.
*Definately do your X-mas shopping now (I'm trying to get mine done now & with only 4wks 2 go & lots of fluid i can only last an hr in the shops I get too tired. So get it done).
*Send or deliver all your X-mas cards early.
*Nest Nest Nest get the babies rm done/finished.
*Start preparing your hospital bag early (why not you've got the time)
*Wash all your bubs stuff( this is so fun & cute)
*Take weekly pics of your tummy for keepsafe u wont regret it and its great fun to compare as the weeks go by.
*At the start of each wk call all your friends & org to do something with each of them (even if it's only a coffee or meeting one of them 4 thier lunch break) remember u r very availabe, include your family in this as well as your partners.
* Do things u wouldn't normally think of doing like i have ie. detail the inside of your car, clean the oven, clean windows, clean walls, throw away clutter u don't need (it will only have to go when the bub gets bigger cause clutter and toddlers dont mix).
*Some relaxing things you might like to do are ( & these are all $ friendly) Later on maybe in the last month trust me you will need to put your feet up so go to your video shop and hire out old weeklys u never watched and jump on that couch (FEET UP), Sunbake why not get a little colour ( but be careful I've heard a sunburnt pregas belly is very painful and boobies), Go to your local pool and enjoy that feeling of being weight free beacause u get so sick of feeling like a whale & you'll start to get extremely hot soon ( hot flushes, faint & breathless) fun stuff, Relax in a lavender bath a few times a week (remember when your in there FEET UP) this is relaxing for you and the baby, Listen to your fav music not only will it relax u but it's great stimulation 4 the baby so turn it up when your cleaning throught the day (as u get bigger with stronger movement you'll swear the baby is dancing in there).
*Get cooking meals ready for when u go into labour so your partners got stuff for t and when u come home & r super tired & exhausted you can just put stuff in the microwave things like caseroles, lasagne, spaghetty bowl, meatloaf, pasta bakes ect....
*Ask your Dr now ( cause they usually dont tell u till your about a month away) about nipple & vaginal preparation 4 labour & get into it ( I wish I'd known earlier)the earlier the better (& don't 4get those blasted pelvic floor exersizes).
I HOPE I HAVE HELPED GOOD LUCK 2 U.
Mumma of 3.
