Aw, feel better sweetie!

Ok...these are my suggestions:

-Reading a novel or book you've always wanted to read (anything by Gabriel Garcia Marquez or Isabel Allende works for me...same with Hemingway).

-Picking up a 'hobby' like knitting (and making something for the baby

-Renting movies that your DH won't see with you (chick flicks, musicals, etc.)

-In the hobby area...making jewelry

-Keeping a journal and making baby related entries...I'm sure your soon to be born child would love to read this later

Good luck with the baby!

Ah...you poor thing...

Learn how to knit or crochet or cross stitch

Put all your old pictures in some kind of order and put them in albums.

Make a list of the things you want to accomplish by some specific time and write detailed instructions on how you are going to do it.

Take a self study course in something you always wanted to learn about.

Paint (can you do that in bed?)

These are things I would do:

I would rent tons of movies I always wanted to watch, like old classics and stuff

Teach myself new card games

Learn how to crochet or knit

Give myself lots of manicures

organize photos - I have boxes of them that I would like to get into albums

organize recipes - I cut them out and have stacks - I would go through and throw out the ones I won't ever make

Shred old bills and things I can get rid of - I have a list of how long you should keep things - FM me if you want it
