This nesting instinct is completely inconvenient!
I'm a pretty organised person at the best of times but I have to be honest - this nesting instinct is really killing me! Aren't I supposed to be resting at 35 weeks pregnant instead of cleaning out every cupboard in the WHOLE HOUSE?!?!? Yikes!
I worked on house cleaning/organising yesterday all day with Dave, even sugar-soaped the walls of the baby's room - now today I'm doing even more, plus cleaning the whole house. There is a big pile of things that are to go to charity as a donatin, and an even larger pile of rubbish. We completely cleared the baby's room ready for painting so our living area now has a huge pile of STUFF that I have NO IDEA how to fit back into the room in a respectable manner!!! It's very stressful!
Tomorrow a plumber comes to put in some new fixtures (including a detachable-head shower in our ensuite which I am assured is DIVINE for labour) - and then I have appointments with both my doula and my midwife...
Wednesday I plan to put a whole lot of listings up on Ebay of items that were too good to give to charity, hoping to make a few hundred dollars over the next few weeks. Then Andrew *my brother* is coming for dinner that night...
Thursday is 'baby room painting day' - Mum & Dad are coming over to help. That should be fun.
But no - we can't then set it all up ready - I have to continue on with Ebay work, and organising the house on Friday - might try to get out to the shops and get some things I need.
Then on Saturday morning I am getting the carpets all cleaned --- so after THAT we'll be able to actually set up the nursery! OH and keep in mind, my baby shower is Saturday afternoon - so I imagine that Saturday evening will see the return of everything into the baby's room, and then Sunday Dave and I can take our time organising it all and setting it up. Early next week I want to wash all the baby stuff ready for his arrival, and also go out shopping for all the bits and pieces I still need, seeing as I was holding off till the baby shower before finalising all my purchases.
Sooooooo ya think maternity leave is a walk in the park??? NUP! Not even close! I'm doing all this AND still doing my regular Ebay business and trying to start up a new online project that I believe will generate a decent income while I'm on leave from work.
So there you have it - that's my plan for the rest of the week. In between there I need to try and relax & rest - last night I only got about 3 or 4 hours sleep for some reason, too hyped up still from the hard-working day I guess - and maybe I had too much on my mind too. Ah well... might have to take a nap this afternoon :)
That's it from me - back to work - lots more to do today!
