find several hobbies that'll keep you busy. or go shopping for baby stuff, so when you eventually got pregnant, and the baby's born, you'll have everything ready for a baby.

Why not find a hobby, a friendship group, some volunteer work or something like that to do.
Some people (especially those who need people contact) are not made to be housewifes - full time anyway!
I am one of those people! I had 8 months maternity leave with each of my children before i went crazy and went back to work part time. Loved it! Couldnt believe i was getting paid for it!! It was so much better than being at home. But missed the kids of course - but just a couple of days a week was a happy compromise for me!
Sometimes its about getting the brain stimulated too! Studying could be a good option and you can study some courses from home.
What really interests you?
What do you love doing?
Best of luck!

Get a hobby, go to the library and read to children. Pick up some books on being a good mother while you're there! Join the Y, work out, volunteer at the local hospital, orphanage, or even the library. Join an art class, or a flower arranging class (all hubbies like flowers - whether or not they will admit it) - join a bowling league - good way to meet other mothers and make friends! I envy you - you have a million options and a full life to live. So get off the sofa and get your A - S out the door!

It can be a real wrench, going from being a working girl, to a housewife/mother. But you can't have it both ways! At least you CAN but it doesn't really work one way or the other. Is it YOUR goal to have children: and are you in tune with each other on what it will take? Swooping hats in life is not easy but if you bring children into the world, you will either do one of the other; and sending them off to other babysitters etc is not always ideal....and they NEED a mum around; tradition is that way as it worked... and those modern parents are doing it rough! So, maybe re-think the scene; and get with your husband and work this out FIRST.
Good luck with getting this sorted!

I'm a housewife with two kids and it doesn't get any better when you have kids, just busyer. You do have mother's group and Playgroup if you're into that once you have them.
On another note, does your hubby have to work such long hours? He should be home a little more if possible, maybe it wouldn't hurt to ask. You have to be happy with your situation because when the bubs come there is no turning back.
Excersicing and keeping fit is always good, especially if you are trying for a baby.

Get a past time, a hobby anything to pass the time in an enjoyable way. Preferably more than one and make sure at least one of them can be continued through pregnancy and in the time after wards.
Something on a social level would be more enjoyable on a long term basis rather than a solitary pursuit.
Good luck.

Get a job!
Stay off the computer!
Don't talk to men who might say the things you need to hear, because hubbies not around to say it. All they will want is to take advantage of a married woman because they feel safe... that she won't be a pest etc.
Talk to your husband about options for you, such as taking classes or job hunting or hobbies. He is probably working so hard for you... and the planned baby. Women would love to be able to stay home.... but if you are that bored, do something constructive. Avoid the pitfall of being alone...infidelity!
Bon Chance Madame!

Well you just made the first right move. Log on to Yahoo answers. You are likely to get some very interesting pastime.
On a more serious note - Try your hand at yoga or meditation. it will help stabilize your mind.
On a more practical note - Talk to your husband. Let him realise that he has other responsibilities besides working and earning money.
On a more pleasurable note - Have an affair

wow i just quit my job and am waiting to go back to school and i feel the same way. I'm going to start bar tending just to get out of the house and have extra money. my man is amazing and would do anything for me but I'm starting to climb up the walls. maybe you could get a part time job or volunteer somewhere for now. plant a garden, go through old clothes and give them to the poor?

get a job, or a hobby.
I had children with my husband and I did EVERYTHING. I got frustrated and angry because it is exhausting (going to college and working too)
Think about WHY you want children with this man. Reevaluate the relationship. Can you picture growing old with him? Does he frustrate you now? Because children really challenge the relationship and it will make marriage so much more tough, especially if he doesn't do his share of childcare.

Find a little partime job, just waiting tables during lunchtime can kill the bordem and make you feel worth while! Deliver newspapers, babysit or etc....
Get out of the house or it will start to feel like a prison instead of a home.
