Nesting

I was laying in bed this morning thinking about nesting, wondering exactly WHAT is nesting supposed to be anyway? Am I nesting yet? Am I supposed to be nesting yet? Does everyone nest in the same way? I am up for feedback, but this is kinda the conclusion I have come to: My nesting is a different kind of nesting, or at least I think it is. I thought of nesting as a kind of hunting and gathering/fixing up babies room kind of thing. I have done a little bit of that, but not too much. I realized today that the kind of nesting I am doing is ... well, I guess it could be called small-project-remodeling nesting. And my mom and I are both doing it. We are thinking of all the little projects that need to be done or that we want to be done, and just trying to tackle one or two at a time. Take, for instance, the floor. We ripped out carpet and painted the floor. Next! Repainting the kitchen. Then, finishing touches here and there - repainting doors and trim where it needs it, stuff like that. And windows and doors where they are needed first.

It all probably has to do something, also, with the fact that my Dad is gone, so we can do whatever we want uninterrupted, and without bothering him while he is working. It seems really strange in a way, but at the same time, it is just "us."

And on a very happy note ... I am spending a day at the pool today with my Mom (AKA Super G), my sister and her kiddos, and my brother, for a mini baby shower. It is going to be fun! Cant wait! Woohoo!!

I don't think I ever 'nested'. Until, the day before the night I went into labor with the Mighty Popo, I cleaned the ENTIRE house. I had a feeling. . .AND I CAN'T BELIEVE WE MISSED THE POOL!!!!!
