    Looking for suggestions on what I should do before the imminent arrival of BabyLazyGal. One week of freedom to go, what to do with it?

    Mope around the house, huffing and puffing and complaining that you can't wait for it all to be over 'cause you're sick of carrying this bloody bump around for the last 9 months.

    That's how it normally goes, anyway.

    I hear there's big money in pregnancy porn. Get onto that before you lose the belly!

    Start a thread on after hours and have every muppet in the kip hanging on your every word.

    Try and remember how annoying it is when some mother brings her child to a cafe or restaurant and they scream for an hour.

    When your baby comes, please don't do that.

    Don't bring the sprog into the office to show off

    It's just awkward

    If you want to meet your girlfriends from the office let them take you to lunch

    Dink a couple of bottle of gin, take 7 yokes at the same and then go white water rafting.

    Half of the office will smile half-heartedly and pretend to take an interest in the baby and then sit there being very uncomfortable trying to ignore the gaggle of (mostly) women cooing over the baby.

    Invite your work friends out for lunch to meet the baby. The colleagues who you would never go out for a post-work drink with, have no interest in seeing your baby :)

    scream, poo yourself, experience a great deal of pain, wish you were dead so that it would all stop.

    Sorry that's next week

    Get the snip?

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    NOTHING will prepare you for the lack of sleep. Nothing. So get as much of it as you can this week.

    Get a hollywood wax and then some form of obscure fold over tattoo across your bits so the doc has something interesting to look at.

    think about how this will have you out to the world for three days while other less evolved animals only take an hour out to give birth

    As you begin labour start a thread about it, keeping us informed about how dilated you are, but most importantly post while you push.

    Oh no wait, you're a REAL pregnant woman ;)

    I suggest lots of sleep Lazygal, because your arrival will have other ideas of when you're allowed to sleep. Best of luck with it all btw :)
