I've been suffering from a major case of nesting for the last few weeks. When it first began and I made a comment about cleaning, one of my friends asked if I was nesting. I wasn't sure at the time, lots of people re-arrange and wipe down their spice shelf and under the kitchen sink at 11pm at night, don't they? It progressed to every cupboard in the house and under the bathroom sinks, usually at a late hour. I even scrubbed the kitchen cabinet doors in my mismatched pajamas and leopard animal slippers on a stepladder! This is not normal behavior for me. I like a clean house, but Martha Stewart I am not. My husband laughed at me and shook his head when he saw my random housekeeping marathons.
The funny thing is that I did this before London was born, why didn't everything stay clean since then? Things were organized-what happened? (Rhetorical question, no responses to this one please.) So now the thing consuming my brain for the past few days is that I must go get new non-BPA baby bottles and newborn diapers THIS week and put them away so I can actually put them out of my mind. "But you have 10 weeks before the baby is due" some might say. Try telling that to my hormonally impacted brain suffering from cleaning-itis and organizational madness. The logic and the thought processes are just not going to come to an agreement on this one.
So tomorrow it's off to WalMart I go in search of my few remaining nesting materials. In the back of my brain I can feel the call of my own closet which is a disaster calling to me. "Come separate maternity clothes from non-maternity". Ughh, how fun. I'm ignoring that one for now. I'm curious what other mom's have experienced in this preparation frenzy? Please share.
