I’d get a mani, pedi. Man do I miss those lol

Just get out of the house. 😆 Go for a walk, leisurely shop through the grocery store or window shop at the mall. Seriously, you'll feel stuck to the house for a while after birth. Best to get out now while you can! Lol

I second what @Laurel said. My girl came on 12/20/24 and haven’t left the house since I got home from the hospital due to how small she was and how cold it’s been and not wanting baby out. Get out do everything you want so that you don’t feel stuck too much.

Treat yourself to a massage or something like that to just settle in and care for yourself. Make sure you’ve got a plan for food and support when you come home! Also, it’s worth talking about different strategies for managing the sleep deprivation with your partner if you haven’t already. It depends on your baby and your other wants/needs but having some strategies in mind (like husband in the guest room to get a full nights sleep, or partner always bring baby you at night or do the diapers changes so you sleep, etc).
