More baby stuff.
I am nesting and it is getting exhausting. Luckily, I don't do it as much on work days because I am too exhausted. But for the last three Saturdays, I have woken up from 4-6 a.m ready to clean, clean, clean.
I almost feel like it is a mental illness. I have been crawling around wiping off baseboards, moving furniture, dusting blinds, tidying closets, vacuuming and armor-alling cars. Not to mention, I make multiple trips to Target, Ross and Walmart every Saturday to make sure we have baby supplies. Ryan asked if he could help and I said, "SAVE YOURSELF!!!"
I have 5 more weeks and feel like I will be totally worn out if I keep this up before the baby. My plan for the next five Saturdays is to lay by the pool, read Entertainment Weekly, and drink some lemonade. Hopefully, I can stick to that.
Great plan! Wish I could join you poolside! You have the same mental illness that all almost-ready-to-deliver moms get. Good thing it's temporary!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to meet lil' Sammy!
I think nesting isn't temporary. It's seasonal. It hits me still regularly, even though I haven't had a baby in over three years. Some call it spring cleaning, but for me, new season cleaning is more accurate. Take the breather while you can!!!
ReplyDeleteI look back on my nesting phase and wish I had that bizzare motivation and energy again...my house could use it! Enjoy, I am excited to see pics of the little guy!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha...I love this post! I'm afraid I still "nest" all the time. I call it OCD now though! I love how Ryan's trying to help; my hub just rolls his eyes & wonders if there are some crazy pills available to help me! You two are going to make PHENOMENAL parents!
