Nesting

What they say about pregnant women nesting is very true.  I've always been tidy, organized, and come hell or high water, the house is getting a good scrubbing every Sunday.  But pregnancy does onset a little OCD (ie "Oh my gosh, the coffee table book is turned at a 70 degree angle, NOT 45.")  It's moments like that that make my husband extremely excited I won't be pregnant for much longer.  My nesting phase was strongest right after our baby shower.  We had so many wonderful presents for our baby girl, a half finished nursery, and extremely limited storage space.  There were weekends in a row that I woke up at 5:30 or 6:00 am to finish the nursery, clean out closets to create extra storage space, and organize all of Avery's new gifts.  I have washed and ironed (yes, ironed!) at least 7 or 8 loads of her laundry.  And as an aside, I absolutely love the way her clothes smell after they've been washed in Dreft :).  It's the sweetest smell in the world.  We recently completely finished the nursery and are now just patiently awaiting her arrival.  But she seems pretty cozy in there - we might have a few more weeks.  I guess we'll know more tomorrow after our ultrasound and OB appointment.  For now, enjoy the pictures of Avery's nursery.

As you can tell, we're a little anxious for our little peanut to make her grand debut.  Our bags and her going home outfit are packed and ready to go!



Limited space, but I love how cute her clothes look in the closet!


And now, we just play the waiting game...
