What can I do for fun?

So its my first day on maternity leave and this day has gone to waste. There's really nothing to do, I want to get out the house but I've had a really bad back pain and swollen feet for the past 2 weeks (which is why I decided to go on maternity leave early). What can I do?????

I try knitting and making cute little things that are for the baby. I'm currently working on a stuffed bear. I'm going to end up making 2 just in case fluffy loves it a lot and starts bringing it with him/her wherever he/she goes just in case one gets left at a family's house. I did this for my sister and it was her gift at the baby shower and her daughter loves it I always see her with one

Don't know if your into art, but I've been doing this art course called zentagle, it's just a book course you can purchase from Amazon and you can buy the micron pens and you'll need the tiles. But it's supposed to be a meditative art and help you zone or "zen" out. I find it very relaxing and enjoy it. Gives my mind a break for 30 minutes during the day with all the overwhelming and hormones running through me.
