Letting out the inner nester
I don't know folks.
I cleaned part of the oven today.
I haven't cleaned any part of the oven since we've moved in. I won't tell you that it's almost been three years. You would think I was gross. Gus kept saying, "My turn, I clean." This phase of wanting to clean will pass, no?
I cleaned the refridgerator today. All of it. Drawers out. Rearranged condiments into proper categories. I even had Gus in on the act. We were scrubbing produce drawers in the bathtub.
I cleaned the microwave.
I even dusted the pitcher collection that sits above the sink. That's not even my job. My Mom always does that when she comes to visit (probably because I never do it).
The bathtub. The toilet. The sink.
I vacuumed.
I grocery shopped on Peapod.
I made peanut butter bars.
I just took a shower and spontaneously started bawling with total happiness, half laughing at myself through the tears...
I'm totally having a baby soon.
Tomorrow, the 12th, has always been my guess... ? Maybe I should pack a bag soon.

Okay, lady, you just totally described "nesting." If you were to look it up in the dictionary there is probably the same list of duties you performed. The important part of my note is that you also described that sudden burst of energy and emotion that most women (at least the ones I know) have 24 hours before they deliver a baby! How wierd is that? I totally expect to hear that Baby E is here within the next 24 hours. I hope I am right because it sounds like you are very ready for him. Keep us posted. Oh, and Gus....way to go big brother! Way to be a great helper! And, yes, Janna, this phase of helpfullness in cleaning passes all too quickly, so, enjoy! love you all
