Can't decide what to do

I've been a work at home mom for 3 1/2 years now. I have cut back pretty significantly on my jobs but still do about 10 hours a week. I'm due with #2 in a few weeks and though I've been super busy with summer activities, yard work, a 3 year old, etc...I still feel really lonely and bored. My DH is very supportive of my being a stay at home mom (which still includes some of my accounting work). So that's no problem. I do wish I could help with the money more but it's not a serious issue. I guess I just feel like washing dishes and cleaning bathrooms and changing diapers doesn't seem like much of a contribution. I do go out with friends and my SIL is due with #1 in a few months so there's lots in common there. My to do list of projects around the house is endless due to this house we own...it's a renovation project from the 1900's, not a disaster but basically everything needs to be done.
Anyway, I guess I really don't know how to deal with my loneliness and boredom. I was considering finishing my degree by correspondance course. I also thought of taking on more outside work (still working from home). I'm 24 but sometimes feel so much older then that due to circumstances and what-not.
I love my son and am eager for my new baby in a few weeks and wouldn't trade my responsiblities to them for anything...but I feel like I should do more, could do more...something...
Anyone know what I mean?
Thanks,
Jenfa
