Nesting

So this nesting thing. A few weeks ago I started having these crazy instincts that I needed to clean, organize, and rearrange. They only came in short bursts and then I was immediately exhausted. J witnessed one about a week ago. I was sitting watching tv and all of the sudden felt a giant urge to clean the entertainment center. I cannot describe the feeling. I needed to do it or... or... or ELSE!!!! J literally looked at me like I was crazy, but from then on he now believes my nesting instincts 100%.

Here's the problem. Lately these "instincts" don't go away. They are not as strong, but it's just this constant feeling of needing to pick up, clean and organize. Emptying the trash, filling soap jars, laundry and always making sure the sheets are clean. (If they don't smell like Tide with Downy, they're NOT clean.) My cupboards have to be full, and my fridge constantly organized the right way. Last night I made chicken catchatori for dinner, and I WANTED to do all the dishes. Ask J how weird that is. I never cook AND clean. The counters must be clear of clutter, bed must be made and things scattered on the floor drive me crazy.

What is absolutely killing me is his bedroom. I wish I had a million dollars to go out and buy EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW!!!! If I did, you can rest assured that bedroom would be DONE by tonight. I want to wash and sort his clothes and blankets, put things away in his drawers, hang up pictures, and decorations. J keeps telling me to wait until the baby shower, THAT'S 84 DAYS AWAY!!!! "But honey, we have four more months to get things together." Excuse me? He obviously just doesn't understand. You mean ONLY four months!!!! Well needless to say, I'm dying to stretch this nesting instinct into preparing his bedroom. I just can't wait for him to be here!

Gotta run, the baseboards are calling my name. :)
