Today, however, I am totally, totally nesting. I started my day with a walk to the grocery store with Ava. Then for some reason, I just got motivated to get cleaning/nesting. Here's what I've done so far today:
- Put together dinner in the slow cooker so that we will have a nice dinner all ready
- Vacuumed the entire downstairs
- Cleaned up Ava's toys in the living room (although, it's probably all torn up again by now!)
- Steam cleaned the carpet in the foyer
- Cleaned the kitchen
- Ran the dishwasher
- Washed a load of kitchen towels
I decided to sit for a minute, but I hope to accomplish the following after lunch:
- Mop the dining room & laundry room
- Clean the bathroom
- Vacuum the entire upstairs
- Clean Ava's room
- Bake an apple pie so that we can use up all the apples that the neighbor keeps giving us
Even if I don't get to the second half of my list, I'm still pretty proud of everything I've done so far. I haven't done this much cleaning in weeks, let alone one morning.
On the baby front, I'm loving all the suggestions people are giving me to try to get labor going. I seriously think I should write a book! My mom called me this morning to tell me that her co-workers say that I should jump rope, then go scrub the floors on my hands & knees. I just have to laugh at it all. We have already tried so many things that I've just decided to let it go & this little one will come when she's good & ready.

yep, i don't believe in any food jump-starting labor. Oh well, sometimes it's worth a try! Great job getting all that done! Love you!!
that was me...Min :)
Oh yeah ~ so many suggestions. Someone told me to go eat eggplant Parmesan! hehe :) LOL about the nesting ~ you know, I had a BURST of energy on my due date with Meri. Felt like NOTHING was going to happen. Went into labor and had her that night! :)
Hang in there. Once your baby is in your arms you'll feel it was all worth it. Didn't someone once say it is always the darkest before the dawn?
I love nesting. It's a great feeling to have a few things off your list before the baby comes. And believe me you'll appreciate having them done when you get home from the hospital.
