I say nesting, but in actuality, it's more like an out-of-body surge of energy has happened to me today. It started in the car around 12:30 today, and I started getting a little goofy singing along to Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Mary Poppins. Normally it's a regular occurrence for me to get goofy while singing in the car, but that hasn't happened in a long time. I've just been too tired, people. The energy continued when we got home. I put the kids to bed and watched The Bachelor which I missed last night, then I walked into the kitchen and cleaned it. Entirely. After naptime, the kids and I built no less than 5 or 30 towers of blocks and Legos, complete with the Cinderella cast of characters trapped inside the castle and trying to figure out how to get out. I made dinner as soon as Daddy got home (sauteed shrimp, rice, steamed veggies, rolls), did the dishes/cleaned the entire kitchen afterward, then proceeded to have a lot of fun helping him put the kids to bed. I know it sounds crazy... normally that would always be enjoyable to me, but it's been quite a while since I've felt good enough to enjoy the normal day-to-day grind. Again, I've just been too tired and in pain by the end of the night. The last task of the evening? I used my beloved Shark steam mop and cleaned the kitchen tile. So much fun!
My secret hope in all of this new-found energy is that it's signaling that labor is right around the corner. I've heard that a lot of pregnant women experience this same type of nesting a few days before labor starts. Please, Lord! Let it be so!!! However, I have a hair appointment and pedicure on Friday morning... I would really like to experience a few hours of pampering. So maybe she'll come tomorrow. Or Saturday. Either one is great with me.
I can't wait for this baby to get here!
