Nesting? Could it be? OH MY!

So when I was on Clomid, before conceiving this little monkey who lives in my stomach (for not much longer) I went through intense periods of cleaning usually about the time I ovulated or while waiting for the dreaded "Curse".

Today I seem to be in a "nesting" kind of mode. After the kids ate breakfast we, well Megan and I cleaned the kitchen from dinner last night. Then I scrubbed the counters. (Literally - scrubbed like that "He's coming home from being overseas for 6mos and I have to make sure the house - well kitchen- is PERFECT type scrubbing. This is very involved... ask any military spouse.)

I just finished the third pot of pieces to: bottles, nipples, pacifiers, breast pump parts etc. I still have one more Ziploc bag of stuff to boil. However I am TAKING A BREAK!

My other plans for the day are to: Finish washing/folding the rest of Jr's clothes so I can try and decide what I'm bringing him home in. Pack his diaper bag so that it's ready to go. Do mine & Chris' laundry. Possibly convince my nephew to help me put the bassinet together today so that I can stock the baskets that go underneath it with diapers/wipes etc.

If you can't tell, I am a little worried now that I won't have things done in time before he arrives. I've had a lot of cramps lately, not too painful, but painful enough that I know that they are there. This makes me think that they are doing something, probably not much - but something. At least that's my hope! The kids and I are probably going to go walk Wal-Mart later too. (Can't hurt right? ;) )

While I will be thrilled to pieces when you finally get to hold Jr. (who has been lucky enough to have a name for MONTHS), if you have him before I'm over this "2cm early labor hump" I will scream so loudly that I promise, you WILL hear it in TX. Oh yes, you will hear it...

I too can be in a "mood", like you didn't know that by now. lol
