Nesting. Apparently that's all the rage when you're thisclose to delivering. This involves heavy cleaning, organizing, baking - anything involving crossing things off a list and getting things ready for baby.
My problem is in determining whether I'm nesting or not - and in turn, close to delivery - because I always have lists. I always get in moments of deep cleaning. I always try to organize here and there randomly.
I'm Type A. It's what I do.
So how do I differentiate? I've been wondering it for the last couple of weeks after reading all the pregnancy sites. Over the last few days, I've baked, we got both cars cleaned and detailed, installed the car seat, got the lawn mowed, finished the baby room...
Hmm, looking back maybe we are in nesting mode. And I'm definitely in nesting mode at work. With deadlines this week, I'm nervous at the possibility of leaving something left undone for someone else to have to scrap up and finish. It's a logistical nightmare for my Type A, common sense-based, logical brain.
I always figured this last part of pregnancy would throw me for a loop and leave me filling completely helpless, but I really don't know how much longer I can stand it! Aside from the uncomfortableness, of course, too.
Twelve days and counting. Unless she would like to decide to grace us with her presence sooner.
