The Act of Nesting...Who knew...

This concept is new to me.  I never had this before, and it happened this week...like BAAAAM!

I've been looking at some things to do while feeling the nesting bug, but i should prob stop because they're adding to my list of things to get done:

• Pad the Pantry- snacks, soups for casseroles, pasta, staples...DONE
• Cook in quantity- when browning hamburger, thaw 2 lb and brown one for later and stick it in the freezer, grill extra chicken and put in freezer, make twice the pasta cassaroles and store, etc...NEED TO DO
•  Wash the Other stuff- Duvey covers, curtains, spare sets of sheets, blankets, anything that needs to be washed... DOING
• Deep Clean- blinds, windows, registers, wipe down chairs, clean the car REALLY well...NEED TO DO!
• (I don't know about this one) Finish your birth announcements on all but pictures and stats so that all the printer needs in numbers.  Address your envelopes and get them ready....We'll see.
•  The Hospital bag- this would have been helpful with Ruthie.  This is its own blog post about the do's and dont's of the hospital bag, but needless to say, I need to do it. 
• Stay ahead of bills- *if Tes arrives when she's supposed to* I will be in the hospital over a "Bills Due" date.  

So now you see where my head is right now...how is it that pregger brain has the ability to forget EVERYTHING, and yet thing of ALL this STUFF that has to happen?!?!

Sunday night/Monday morning, 2am actually, i was overwhelmed with EVERYTHING that needed to happen by July.  i.e. a banister so that my children don't plummet to their death down the stairs...cleaning junk out, my last blog post which was getting rid of TONS of stuff.  Monday was that day.  By the end of the day, I couldn't move anything but the smile on my face when i had taken TWO carloads to salvation army, filled all our giant trash cans outside, had a burn pile ready, and laundry loads left were in the single digits.  I felt accomplished...

Is that even nesting?  Or just me freaking out that I'm behind, b/c Wednesday was the start of my third trimester, and I am feeling every day of it!

My mom-in-law wanted to throw me a "Sprinkle" or a diaper shower, or something for the arrival of Miss Tes, but I have been is such freak out mode of what needs to get done, we have turned that day into a "Spackle" instead of a "Sprinkle."  We are inviting people to come over that day and DO WORK in exchange for an awesome cook out that I'm throwing afterward to thank EVERYONE for their help.  It will feel soooo good to have some of this stuff done.

A Few Planned Projects:

• Banister @ the top of the steps
• Wood floor the kitchen and dining room
• put together and get Ruthie transitioned into a new room
• Revamp nursery for Tes
• Organize clothes by size
• Paint/put together some furniture

There's a few things I'm forgetting, but by July, they will be monumental!  

Right now, this calm Sunday afternoon, i am debating between sleep of working...I know what will win, but i feel that Nesting-ness pulling hard....but this bed feels soooo good...
