One thing that can really help is to just get outside and take a walk. When I was pregnent I found walks helped with stress, blue feelings, and other problems and really helped to get my circulation going. You can also look into prenatal yoga tapes. They help with keeping the muscles limber and the one I had also had pelvic exercises and others to help with the delivery. Having crunchy snacks at hand such as celery or nuts can help keep the hands busy. I tought myself knitting to keep hands busy at temptations time. I never got good, but I could do it eventully.
Just keep thinking about the baby, and how good it is going to feel to have a wonderful healthy baby. It's not hopeless, you are hormonaly on edge and have somewhat the equivalent of a small parasitic invasion (SO used to hate when I compaired being pregnant to that ;p ). Between the water retention, the loose joint waddle, and everything else there will be days you feel out of sorts. Remember though you have support here and from hubby, and when it's all over you will probably actually miss being pregnant
