I'm not going to tell you it will happen soon, because I was 9 days over and it used to drive me nuts when people said that, it made me more anxious!!
I will however give you some advise!! Get as much 'me' time as you possibly can, cause once bubs arrives it does not exist!!! Do what you like to do, read books, go to the movies whatever takes your fancy...
Trust me coz I cant even spend 5 minutes on this computer without bubs in my arms!!! He has reflux and is very clingy!!!

I wish you all the best of luck, make sure you get plenty of rest, coz when it does happen you will need it!!!

All the best!!!

I'm with braydens mum, sleep, do your nails, wash your hair, sleep, get your hair done, sleep..... I was soooo over being preggers and thought the day would never come. I knew the TV program off by heart and played alot of card games- solitaire basically!
I went to the movies, once while I was in labour to pass time- favourite was Hitch- made me laugh :)
Your little bubby will bless you with their presence and it is such an amazing time, but there is little time for yourself, so pamper and relax away the final moments of being pregnant.
Good luck and I look forward to reading about how it all goes

I'd do some things for yourself:

wash your hair
do a nice conditioning treatment
file your nails
pluck your eyebrows
massage your tummy in a nice warm bath
play your favourite song to your belly
write a letter to your baby - tell him/her how you feel
ask your partner to cut your toenails, and massage your feet
start a webpage for your baby (I use babyhomepages.net)
enjoy some silence (sounds wierd, but it's precious)

good luck

I went for a pedicure when I was 4 days over with Chloe - it was bliss to sit with my feet up being pampered for an hour - and the nail polish lasted for about two months when I didn' t have time to get down and re-do them!!

I have several friends who booked themselves all sorts of appointments for the days after their due date and then needed to give directions from the labour ward about which appointments were to be cancelled for which days - so start booking lunches, beauty treatments, haircuts etc and you will either have a lovely time socialising and being pampered, or be in labour and have to have someone else cancel them all for you!
