What to do when all you have to do is wait?
I'm starting to get bored. This is worse than waiting for Christmas. I think tomorrow I am going to have to go out and do something. I can't beat any of Jonathan's records on Mario Kart, try as I might. Today I was alone at home with too many Christmas cookies and other treats to nibble on. I finished wrapping gifts, did yoga, had a nice long shower, watched some t.v., had lunch, napped, walked around tidying, watched some more t.v., wondering right now when will Jonathan ever come home. Any one have suggestions as to how I can pass the time without continually thinking about when I will go into labour?

I've got a lot of good DVDs and games you could borrow. :)
Kimberly,
I know waiting is hard. I only went 1 week over with Kristen and I thought it was forever. I went for a long bike ride when I was pregnant with Joel but that's not going to work for you now.
Puzzles? Books? Aerobics? Just kidding!
Love ya
Mom
You could bake some cookies to take to your neighbors....or other family members who aren't as skilled in the kitchen. Only a suggestion. You could also come and visit me in the afternoon. We could watch Dr. Phil together or play that dice game I love so much. I'm always home (after 2:30), so let me know!

p.s. I can't wait to meet baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MMmmmm, maybe write a new Christmas song. Something about a bear and sock puppet.
Or, you could arrange all your husband's clothes.
Or, alphabetize your canned goods.
Or, reset the Gamecube and establish your own top scores.
Or, take up fantasy football.
Or, learn Japanese.
All wonderful suggestions. Except for the cookie baking...because I have loads of cookies...remember, the cause of my excessive cookie eating. Kristen I would love to hang out. Unfortunately I don't have a car. Busing to your place seems risky these days.
I don't think I could live down erasing all the Mario Kart records. Plus my competitive nature does not allow for cheating. But, a bear and a sock puppet could work. Maybe a Christmas story instead of a song though. Or a Christmas drama. I'm sure Sarah could make one mean sock puppet.
Today I have a better outlook on life. I saw my midwife today and have come to more of a peace about it all. Though I was desperate enough to ask her to go ahead with a membrane sweep. Sweep is too gentle a name for this procedure. But, when all was said and done it wasn't so bad (plus if it brings me my baby it will have been worth it!)
Kristen if you can come over to my place let me know.
Baby will come when it's ready, I can only imagine that the womb is a warm and comfortable place and even though a bit squishy, tiny Toews, is probably more than comfortable. I know that when I was in the womb, I found it to be quite comfortable and, as mom will often remind me, I was less than willing to enter into the world. That said I would suggest a few things to do,
1. Settlers of Cattan (When Jonathan is home.)
2. Sleep, lots of sleep.
3. Something else that starts with s (scrapbooking?), and again, only when Jonathan is home.
4. Visits from the nephews, where hopefully a laughing fit from their highly developed sense of humour will cause instantaneous labour.
Peace OUt.
Joel
