From Choice Mom Trista:
Use that time for a project or two or three, around the house. This is to keep busy, so your mind isn't so pre-occupied with "Am I pregnant???" And also because if you ARE pregnant (fingers crossed), then in about 8 - 9 months (or when the adoption finally comes through), you will NOT have time to get any projects done.

1. Clean out closets & donate clothes/stuff.
2. FINALLY put all those photos in some albums.
3. Hang up shelves & organize things in the garage.
4. Plan a girlfriends dinner-and-movie night at your house.

Excerpted from "14 Things to Do When 14 Days Seem Like Forever," by Lynn, a 38-year-old Choice Mom-in-the-making, as found at bellybelly.com.au

* Plant a hope garden. Or a hope rosebush. Or a hope citrus tree. You want to grow something inside of you, well start by growing something outside of you. Nurture it. Feed it. Give it water. Talk to it. But do not send out birth announcements.

* Swim laps. Think about the sperm and how they need to swim to your egg. Imagine that you are a sperm, the end of the pool is the egg, then GO, GO, GO! Don't wear a tail or anything. Just imagine it quietly.

* Delegate the burden of the two-week wait. Clearly someone has to worry constantly during this time, but does it have to be you? Divide the days up among your best friends and closest family. On their assigned day they are required to think, wonder, and worry all day about whether you are pregnant or not. At the end of the day they have to describe how agonizing it was and report if they had any "symptoms." You will be surprised how many people have early pregnancy symptoms if they look.
