Nesting

As the arrival of our little lady inches closer I have definitely noticed I have become slightly mother bird-like. I don't remember having as many of these compulsions with Mya, sometimes it sorta freaks me out. Most days I feel relatively normal, you know, normal for 9 months pregnant. But then there are others when the nesting fits take over and I have to finish one of the tasks on my list or organize something and when that happens watch out because I have no sentimental attachments to anything and many 'things' stand a good chance of getting thrown away or sent to the D.I. Here are a few of the items that have been and are still on my 'List'.

• 
  
  Clean out the garage: Cody was fantastic and let me boss him around one Saturday. I was surprised when I had to rearrange some of the food storage because I didn't like the way he had stacked it. That's so the 'bird', not me!


• 
  
  Go through Mya's old clothes and organize them into bins by size. Also did some wash.


• 
  
  Clean and organize the office to make room for the pack-and-play. Surprisingly this took less time than I expected and it was very liberating to get rid of old papers and other stuff that had accumulated over time. Took a good pile to the D.I. and filled the garbage can.


• 
  
  Scrub down our couches. They are white leather and looked dingy so I attacked them with some soap and elbow grease and now they are looking much more inviting.


• 
  
  I really want to clean the fan in my master bathroom but it's just out of my reach so either I have to drag the ladder upstairs or convince Cody to do it.


• 
  
  A good cleaning of the house this week before the baby comes.


• 
  
  Wash the car seat and swing pads.


• 
  
  Go to the grocery store and/or Costco to stock up for the next week or so.

I think that's it. I'm trying not to think too much about it because I'm ready to be done with the 'birdiness'.
