Well I think DH worked out a labor activity for me :giggle: I was looking at when our green beans will be ready and they will be ready right around my due date. So I guess I might be snapping beans while in labor! Good thing I'm having a HB and can do that- would be kinda odd to take in a bad full of beans to the hospital! If that falls through I'll be knitting :)

What do you plan on doing? Anyone else doing green beans? :giggle2:

Cute! Who knows what I'll be doing, depends on who's here and when they get here I think, my mom and I would probably knit or sew. My MIL and I would probably bake or cook. If it's just me and hubby we will probably just hang out, maybe take a short walk, watch a movie, whatever I want. :blush: I wonder how different/similar it will be to DD's HB as far as pain and swiftness goes.

Who knows. We're HBing too. So, I'll probably try and play with my 3 yr old, watching movies, taking walks, coloring, cuddling, etc...

My step mom is coming. She'll probably cook. So, I have lots of yummy food to eat.

For some reason, these are better quality on my computer than ds :headscratch:

nice pics Lisa, you look too normal to have a baby so soon after those pics though.

I'll probably have pics of me banging broomsticks on the ceiling so my upstairs neighbor will turn his music down.

Or maybe killing a bug that crawled out of nowhere.

However, I like to think I'll be knitting, or on the computer. Possibly even scrapbooking.

Those are awsome pics!

Ok now I'm thinking about food, yum! Not all of DH's family knows about the HB yet and I asked his aunt to make me something for when I was in labor and she commented on how I couldn't eat it, but they could. WRONG! I need to think of what all I want...

When I go into Labor we go to our local Tex-Mex resturaunt (it's a tradition that happened inadvertently) then I come home, ditch the kids on my siblings next door, and soak in the tub and sit on the ball and shower again and then push. I usually have about 4 hr labors start to finish so not a lot of time to do things.

When I was in labor with dd I was sewing, doing laundry, wet to my mom's to go swimming.....then, after my water broke before going to the birthing center I HAD to take a shower....lol! My sister was there, and couldn't believe it. Everyone else was in a rush, but I was just happy plugging along.

i forgot to post what i'll be hopefully doing! well, i'm having a hospital birth(so jealous of you hb mamas! :giggle: ) but i plan on staying home as long as possible. i'm also overdue...so i'm hoping that what i've been doing everyday lately is what i'll be doing on the big day...it's mostly been my son and i outside-playing, working on my flowers, and spraying ds with the hose! :goodvibes:

Hopefully, I'll be laboring at home, enjoying the comforts of home and tying up loose ends. I plan to eat and shower. I want to make sure that I don't go to the hospital too early and end up on pit like with my 2 previous pregnancies. I know that usually, you can go home but with my last, I was at a 6 when my labor stalled so they wouldn't send me home.
