Nesting Instinct: an uncontrollable urge to clean one's house brought on by a desire to prepare a nest for the new baby, to tie up loose ends of old projects and to organize your world.Females of the animal kingdom are all equipped with this same need. It is a primal instinct. Just as you see birds making their nests, mothers-to-be do exactly the same thing. The nesting urge can also be seen as a sign of the onset of labor when it occurs close to 40 weeks of pregnancy.

No baby yet. And so, on goes the nesting. Of course, it could just be my organizing, clean-freak, just-moved-into-a-new-apartment need that is part of my natural personality, or maybe it's remembering that after having Ethan, I felt like I got NOTHING done on my to-do list for months, and wanting to instead, get everything I can done now. Regardless, until I have any contractions, on I go. Here's a few projects from the past couple weeks. Today's list: clean the whole house (hence, why I'm instead blogging :) ).
Nursing cover, wipes case, and burp rags
Hooded towels for the boys
Repainting Ethan's dresser (before and after)
