It'll fly by, before you even know where you are you'll be a week away from your date !
I know what you mean about doing stuff though. I was really lucky this time as I was quite neat (still managing to shave legs and see shoes right up til 38 weeks !lol!) but those last couple of weeks OMG ! no option but to sit (or lie down!) cos bending and lifting was just not going to happen ! I either nearly toppled over cause of the weight of the bump or had to hold things sideways cos my arms weren't long enough to hold things in front of the bump !
You MUST be carefull with doing things in the latter stages though, as all your muscles soften because of the hormones. I put my back out at 36 weeks with baby no. 2, by just lifting my 18 month old kid and turning round (cue sounds coming from me like a cow being strangled, MMmmoooowweee !
) it's not plesant, and if you do hurt yourself they might take you into hospital for bed rest - if the thought of that doesn't force you to take it easy nothing will ! Also got to be carefull with streching above your head, I was told that it can increase the risk of the cord wrapping round baby's neck - something you definately want to avoid.
Sorry for the lecture, but you're so close now there's no point taking any risks.
PUT YOUR FEET UP ! Take care and take it easy !
Enjoy the chance to have as much rest as you can
