What to do in the last weeks of pregnancy ?

I'll be 37 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I have no idea what to do to keep myself busy . I'm ready to have my baby now but 3 weeks seem so far away and she might come late because I'm a first time mom and I'm not dilated at all . Nor have I lost my mucus plug . I just wish the process would speed up . Any suggestions on how to keep busy ?

When I was 36 weeks along we moved haha. So that took a ton of my time. I got really annoyed though cause everybody kept telling me to "enjoy" the time I had till the baby was born but I was so miserable! I was in pain and couldn't sleep at all and so everybody was getting on my nerves! I tried to keep busy, I knit a blanket for the baby, went on lots of walks, read books, deep cleaned everything etc. The last few weeks last forever, but try to find things to do throughout the day to take your mind off of it.

Sleep as much as possible, I always thought people were being over dramatic when they told me that you wouldn't sleep again but it's no joke!! My baby is 6 months now and still hasn't slept a full night she actually wakes up the same amount of times at night as she did when she was a week old. It's absolutely 100% worth it but so exhausting,I'm 23 weeks pregnant again and Im a walking zombie lol so rest up!!
