Well, I am 10 days away from having this baby, and I am officially nesting. I don't know if I was just too tired or overwhelmed before to nest, but this is really not the ideal time for me to be trapsing (no idea if I spelled that right, but I'm pretty sure it is a word) all over the world to find what I need to complete all of the projects that I have conjured up in the past few days. At night when I am lying in bed trying to go back to sleep after having to go to the bathroom for the 5th time, I think of all of these things that need to be done. Yesterday, I spent two hours online uploading and ordering photos, so I can fill up my frames to mount on the wall going up the staircase. I also hung three shelves in the boys' room because, for some reason, that HAD to happen. I HAD to have shelves above the changing table. I didn't have anything really to put on the shelves, mind you, but they had to go up.
Today I went and bought a new bedspread and bedskirt that we have needed for a long time, but I kept putting it off until now. What a better time to go walking up and down the aisles of KOHLS and Target than when you are 9 months pregnant. I waddled and stopped to catch my breath, and then I waddled some more. After MUCH deliberation on what was the best color, the best style, and the best deal, I finally came to a decision and bought the stuff. You should know that I made three phone calls to various advisors while making this decision because my judgement was a little cloudy when I became hot and dizzy in the middle of Target. Now, Kevin is super excited to have to put all of this stuff on the bed since I can't really do it with my belly sticking out a good foot and a half from my body.
When I got home from my shopping spree, I decided to go through EVERY toy that Maddox owns. First I found all of the pieces to all of the different toy contraptions, and then I sorted the toys into baskets that will be neat and organized in various rooms in our house. I am sure many moms are chuckling at the fact that I have some weird hormonal delusion that the toys will actually stay organized for more than 30 seconds. However, for right now, I am satisfied with the fact that there are no more overflowing toy buckets in my living room. Maddox does actually seem to be more excited about playing with his toys now that he can see that he actually has individual toys, not just a heaping mass of colorful things to toss about the room. I have a few more projects to complete, but for now, I am laying on the sofa. I don't know why God didn't put nesting in the 2nd trimester instead of the third. That might be the firt thing I ask Him when I get to heaven. :) Pictures will follow...when I have the energy to take them!
I love it! It sounds exactly like something I would do! Remind yourself of how much butt you kicked this past week the next time you're feeling overwhelmed! I loved you!!!
