Nesting Syndrome
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010We are narrowing in on less than a week until our second son arrives into the world. I can’t believe how quick this pregnancy has flown by. I owe that partly to Jack for keeping me so busy and also moving to a new town and getting acquainted with everything.
This past weekend, my friend hosted a baby shower for me. It was so beautiful and generous of her. I immediately came home and got to work. I washed everything and put it in its place, hung a few things on the wall, and made sure the nursery was ready to go. I am just waiting on one sweet little boy to make it complete.
I have been making to-do lists like crazy lately. I always have them around, but it’s starting to get out of control. My husband is about ready to kill me with tedious tasks I ask of him daily. I want to make sure everything is perfect and in place before the baby arrives. I guess the nesting syndrome has kicked in. I find myself doing ridiculous amounts of laundry, cleaning, organizing and making sure Jack gets a lot of attention. On the other side, I am trying to get as much rest as possible. It seems to be quite a challenge when there is so much going on and being 38 weeks pregnant makes it hard to catch some Z’s. The last three weeks have also been filled with runny noses, sore throats and coughs. I think all three of us are finally on the mend.
Although, my nesting habits have taken over, I think we’ll all be happy once the baby arrives and there isn’t much to worry about except for baby and Jack, of course. I wish I had this energy/motivation every month to clean and do the random things around the house that must get done. As I always say…Someday it will get done!
