Guess Who's Nesting
There's a unique phase of pregnancy called the "nesting" phase.
It happens to most women as they enter their third trimester.
This is a time when (in the expectant mother's mind) things need to get done. Many women have the urge to organize and clean their homes. And many feel all baby projects should be nearing completion and major baby purchases should be made.
I am seriously in my nesting mode.
For me that means it's time for the carpets to be cleaned, a new crib to be ordered, bedding and a dual stroller purchased - etc. Unfortunately, the spouse of the mom-to-be does not go through this same phase.
And I'm not speaking for Todd, but my guess right now is that my nesting is beginning to get on his nerves. In fact, he politely asked me not to bring up one particular project, that involves removing all his clothes from Tyler's closet -- again.
Hmmm.
But I believe this nesting thing is bigger than me. And I honestly can't control my urge to want to get things ready for baby.
This weekend I'm going shopping!
Not sure if anyone out there remembers going through this phase...
But hearing your stories would certainly make me feel better.
Hope to hear from you soon!
