I've been on MedHelp ALL DAY!!!

This isn't a question, more or less I guess a complaint. :-S But man! I've been doing just what I SHOULDN'T be, and just waiting around for labor to start! Hahah. pathetic I know, but I have nothing to do and I am sooo bored!! I could clean up my desk and dresser but that won't take long.. And take a shower, but that won't take long either.. I've gotten everything else all ready that I possibly can. I don't know what to do!!! [And no, I don't have anyone to hang out with. :( ]

Well right now it's past curfew for me, lol. So I will do that tomorrow. Plan to go on the treadmill then go swimming in the morning! :) I can stretch comfortably on the side of the pool in ways I can't on dry land. and swimming is a good work out.

Walking is a good way to go into labor!!! Even if you don't feel like it.

I think I have suggested this to you before, but what about cooking? Or maybe going for a walk? Walking is good because it speeds up labour, tires you out and provides another activity for afterwards.... Sleeping!

Yes, we have a dollar store and dollar general here.. and dollar tree. [that's three different $1 stores! lol] and I think one or two of them carry scrapbooking stuff.. But I have to depend on my mom to buy things for me, my step dad is a tight-wad and whenever I mentioned getting stuff to make a scrapbook for my son, I kind of got ignored.. So whatever, to that..

Scrapbooking is great and if money is an issue, then I guess that stinks. It can be an expensive hobby. I love Deals Dollar Store. They sell packs of scrapbooking paper and stickers and stencils and all sorts of crafts for $1 a piece. And I believe they sell the actual scrapbooks where you put the pages into for $5. So you could make one inexpensive and it won't look like ****! I use that stuff all the time and it's great.

I've been 1 cm for two weeks now! :( and not sure on % but dr. said i've thinned out "nicely" wish he would have been more specific. lol.. also said baby's head is veryy low. Didn't give me a station though.. He must think I don't know anything about that stuff.. Haha. Anywho, I can't move around the living room, our place is so small, there's no other way to arrange it than how it is now. LOL

If your going stir crazy you could move around the furniture in your living room!! That would take care of the boredom and get things moving as far as labor:) Are you contracting or dailated yet??

I wanted to scrapbook! But I don't have anything to do it with. :( Like no supplies for arts/crafts.. All I have is his baby book and I can't fill it out yet cause he's still in my tummy.  :( !
blue - I can't tell you how close I am to labor! I wish I knew the answer!! lol. but if you mean how close to my due date, only 12 days away!! Yarghh I'm so anxious!
I think after a bit I'll go through old childhood photos and maybe put them into a photo album. :) that sounds nice [yet back breaking, haha]
