nesting * the tendency to arrange one’s immediate surroundings, to create a place where one feels secure, comfortable, or in control
* * * * *
most women nest by cleaning. me? i’m choosing to uproot our home and paint our kitchen, of all things, prior to baby’s upcoming arrival {two weeks, EEK!} illogical? untimely? perhaps. but i’m allowed… can i get an amen sista’? won’t you be nice and share how you nested {or are nesting…} when you were expecting, so that i can feel a little less off my rocker? and now, i’m off to destroy clean and make beautiful my kitchen…

Jackie - I *HEART* NESTING! And, I wish I could get that instinctual rush monthly!! (Garrett would probably kill me though, because a lot of my nesting comes with – “Garrett you need to…”)
I tended to wash (the ceiling fans to the base boards), organize, reorganize, and then wash it again…I often got that creative bug to take on projects too – luckily I took it out on his nursery and did some painting…
Maybe someday I’ll get to nest again! 🙂
Enjoy these last days of your pregnancy, and I wish you a quick and painless delivery of beautiful baby #3!

stacey - stephanie, you have relieved lover somewhat, he’s feeling MUCH more grateful that i’m only painting and NOT remodeling…ha! and tonya, i can’t IMAGINE moving when expecting! we just had friends move weeks before their daughter was born, but they managed to pull it all together…even with their 3 boys! ah the nesting instinct, gotta love it! {ps…mama, trying to eliminate chaos before it arrives! hee!}
Your Mama - Silly girl, you could at least wait until I get there to help.
Stephanie - I can totally relate Stacey! I have been nesting for quite sometime now. I completely remodeled our kitchen, new cupboards, tile and paint. I also painted our dining room and living room. I am ready for this baby to arrive! In the recent days I have been making my husband move furniture! Hope you enjoy your newly painted kitchen! And my best wishes to you during your last days of your pregnancy!
Tonya Lewis - Well, with my first child and my third I moved right before we had them, which WAS a bit….INSANE!!! But this last time we had our church come unpack us and then I nested like I did with my second…washing EVERYTHING in the house, two or three times (shower curtain, stuffed animals, couch pillows…everything!) and I swept, mopped and vacuumed every night. 😉 I’m super excited to hear about your precious baby’s grand entrance into the world!!! Now you go paint your kitchen! Sounds fun 🙂
