Ok so if you know me well, which um if you have this url you probably do!, you know that I am a major nester. I mean like when I'm not pregnant and blessed with hormonal pregnant nesting issues. Like in everyday life. (I fully blame this trait on my mother. Seriously every month she used to rearrange every room in the house while we were at school. She still does it! I'm not sure how my little mother has managed to make it this long moving couches and tables around without ending up pinned underneath some piece of furniture, but she's a rockstar at it! So mom, this is totally your fault!) But I am a nester. Just ask Scott. We are in our 3rd home together and after each move, he has plopped himself on the couch and I have stayed up till the wee hours of the morning rearranging and organizing, begging him to get up and move the heavy stuff so I can see how it looks only to change my mind in 2 hours and wake him again to move it again. (You know your guy loves you when ... ) He's learned to just humor me as there is no use arguing with me, I'm always right (again I blame my mother) :)
But now that I'm pregnant, yikes! It's, of course, like nesting on crack. All I want to do is move things and pack things and buy things for the condo and rearrange things. Since we found out we were pregnant, we have purchased two new dressers, a new couch, a new rug, and another bookshelf, on top of the baby furniture, ya know, the furniture we actually needed! And I have made Scott move each piece around the condo many times trying to find the exact perfect location for each piece :) Tonight I even had my dad come over to help Scott carry pieces around the condo. I still haven't decided where I like the bookshelves best so I've decided to leave them in their new spot for a couple days and see if I like that arrangement or not. (Dad is on standby to come back Friday to help move them back if I can't get used to it). But of course you can't get the full picture of the furniture in its new spot until you put all the books on it (which are currently in their piles per shelf lining the walls in the almost empty nursery) so tomorrow I will have to fill all the shelves and see how it goes!
The good news about all this nesting is we're sooo almost ready to paint the nursery and get the baby furniture in!! Its on the schedule for this weekend! Now I just have to pick out a paint color ... I have choices narrowed down, but if you know me (and I believe we already went through this!) you also know, decisions ... so not my strong point! And I have made a whole slew of decisions this week! I picked out and contacted a pediatrician, we chose and booked a destination for our babymoon, we scheduled baby prep classes, made a newborn photographer decision, and I have made some progress on my baby announcement ideas (what else do you do when you're up all night because your son is kicking the hell out of you!) and it's only Tuesday! I so want to be done with decisions for a little bit. But gotta get this last one done! Then, I swear, I'm taking a break! (And trying to catch up on some sleep!) Pictures of the empty and *hopefully* painted nursery to come! Whoo-hoo!
