Nesting
I know I suck at this blog writing thing – sorry about that. You’d think with being off of work, I would have lots of time for this kind of thing. For some reason, though, I seem to fill up my time with nesting. If I had always been a clean person (like Sam say), nesting would take a lot less time. However, Magnus and I keep our house in a barely sanitary condition most of the time. Well, it’s not that bad, but we are not organized people. And I have this feeling (nesting) that if we can get everything organized before the baby gets here, the whole baby thing will be less crazy. So I spend my time cleaning closets and cupboards and the top of the fridge and behind the electronics. Plus, there’s the baby’s room. I can’t even describe how much time I’ve put into that. And it still looks like a mess of baby stuff. How is that even possible? Anyway, if you’re wondering where I am, I’m here. I’m just crazy nesting woman who is extremely busy.
Health wise, things are more or less good. More good, really. The baby is great, which is what really matters. Also, I don’t seem to be having worse asthma trouble, which can happen at this point in the pregnancy. I’ve got fun pre-term contractions, which I’ve had off and on since Thanksgiving. These require trips to the ER to get turbutaline and a cervical exam. Now that we’ve passed 35 weeks, I can’t get the turbutaline anymore (it no longer works to stop contractions). That means, I just basically have to deal. This isn’t pre-term labor exactly, since I am not dilated. It’s just an “irritable uterus.” Anyway, it’s not too bad if I take it easy (which doesn’t really go with the whole nesting thing above).
Baby is due February 11, and I expect him to be early. If he isn’t, though, it just gives me more time to nest!
