Get some sleep! You'll be lacking that after the baby comes, so use this time to rest, relax and just enjoy these last week(s) of pregnancy. Believe it or not, there will come a time when you will miss being pregnant, so just soak up this time now while you can and try to get lots of rest.
You could also do some last-minute organizing in your home, go get a manicure, eat lunch with a friend, start a baby book, get maternity pictures made, spend a romantic night with your husband. All of these things will be hard to do for a while when baby comes, so take advantage while you can!! :)
Take care and good luck.

Those last few weeks do wear on your patience! *grin*
It is pretty much a waiting game now, so take time for yourself. Pamper yourself and relax. If you can afford it, go to a spa for the day, or maybe just to the local beauty parlor and get a pedicure. Once that baby gets here, you won't have much free time to yourself, so just relax and take it easy.
Take walks, read a book or two, take some bubble baths, watch some funny movies. Call a friend and talk on the phone. Go get an ice cream cone...just do all the little things like that and before you know it, the baby will be here!
Congratulations!

Start your birth announcements. If you don't know what you are having then get neutral color announcements and start to address all of your envelopes and stamp them. This will save you a lot of time after the baby is born. Make simple craft things...Get a plain white piece of nice paper and cut it to fit an envelope. Write "Thank You" in nice letters and then when the baby comes you can stamp his/her foot with ink onto the card and voila...you have instant personal Thank You cards to send people who give you gifts when the baby is born.
Also, prepare some meals and freeze them. Make spaghetti sauce, lasagna, whatever is easy and that way when you need a meal after the baby comes, you don't have to spend a lot of time cooking, you can just heat it up and have dinner.

Sleep sleep sleep. Day, night, evening, afternoon, sleep sleep sleep.
Relax, have fun. Go to the mall, hang out with friends, have lunch, go to dinner at a fancy resturant, go to the spa, get a manicure, pedicure, facial, get your hair done. Visit family, friends, call those far out of town, if you're close enough, visit the beach....SPOIL YOURSELF
Because once the baby is born, you won't be sleeping any until after 3 or 4 months and then your sleep is still being interrupted. You will be able to throw away your alarm clock because you have a living breathing alarm clock that will always sound at the crack of dawn.

Do a lot of walking and if you like to read. You could do some baking to if you like doing that just to get you through the days this is where is gets hard because you are alomost at the end.
Hang in there i wish you the best of luck with everything.

well, do you know how to do cross stitch or any hand crafts ? You could make a baby blanket out of scrap fabrics (quilt) or begin a baby sampler for his wall that you can add his name,birth date,weight,etc after the baby comes.It's a great productive way to spend these last few weeks!

Start reading some books about babies, like "Babies for Dummies". It has great info about what to expect in their first few months. Plan out what you are going to do during your maternity leave (if that applies).... plan what exercies program you want to do to get back in shape after the baby....
Maybe learn to knit and start a quilt or mittens or something.

get the nursery ready for the bundle of joy, just make sure if you paint it is well ventilated. Take a short stroll through your neighborhood or local park. I started a scrapbook.
