So This is Nesting..

Yesterday I spontaneously cleaned
the kitchen counters and reorganized them.
I cleaned out all the crap from the fridge
and threw away unnecessary things.
Today I cleaned the bottom of the fridge,
drawers and all.

At some point in the cleaning madness I thought
to myself "oh, so this is nesting..", the point in which a
very pregnant mother feels the urge to prepare her
house for the new baby.  Or is it more with the
knowledge that you just won't have the time to
do such thorough projects after the baby is born?
Either way- it's happening.

The baby's basket of things in the back room is
beginning to overflow with stuff,  larger
baby shower gifts have started to be delivered.
This is real. This is actually happening.
Someone else will be living with us soon.

Sometimes I feel totally cool with that fact,
other times I feel as though just the thought of
it could make my brain explode.

As a die-hard planner my biggest issue with this
whole situation is the inability to see past the next
10 weeks.  But I suppose this is a good lesson in
letting go and embracing the unknown.
