The Homestretch

With only 2 weeks to go I'm officially on the homestretch of this pregnancy.  I think I've been "nesting" since I got pregnant.  My poor husband has had so many "to do" lists, I'm sure he's as ready as I am to have this baby.  But, I'm finally winding down and completely out of energy for anything else so I give her permission to come anytime.  I would prefer she wait until her scheduled time (wouldn't want to mess up my calendar!), but if it happens I wouldn't be in freak out mode anymore.

If I had to come up with a word for this pregnancy it would probably be this one:

**URGENCY**

Why does everything all of the sudden become so darn urgent?  I go into this mode of thinking that if I don't get this or that done "before the baby" it will NEVER get done!  Oh, the drama!


I must change out these ugly plastic blinds NOW!

So Eric did. And I'm very happy and feel peace about it now.  Thank you Selectblinds.com for liberating me.


I must get the nursery painted and the wall decal on right this minute!

So Eric did.  And I am calmed.



I must absolutely get this storage cleaned out before I go mad!

Ahhhhh....


I must wash every cotton pickin' baby thing I own!

Check.


I must get my old dressers refinished and put them in the girls room, it's just not practical to start using them before repainting them!

Thank you kind husband, I love how it turned out.


And the list went on and on....

I annoy myself just reading this, so as Eric would probably tell you..."just be thankful it's me living with her and not you."
