things to do when heavily pregnant and not working

I've officially been off work for a week and now find that the bloom of unlimited free time has fallen off the rose, so to speak! The pace of my life at work was a little too much for me, but being at home while most folks are busy all day means I don't get as much face-time with real people. It's also a reality that at this stage of my pregnancy (exactly 8 and 1/2 months - 2 weeks 'till my due date!) that I don't have a lot of chutzpah or get-up-and-go to get stuff DONE. It's a weird limbo, to be sure, but I've decided to publicize my attempts at being busy and taking care of what's really important while I have the time to!
