Early Nesting or Just Boredom ?

For the last two weeks I have been really ancy about getting things done...I am not sure if it is my motherly instincts kicking me into gear...or gloomy weather boredom..lol but here is a list of things that I am getting ancy about ;)

1. Buying the baby items on our list so that they are here AND put together before baby #2 gets here 
  • Bassinet - CHECK
  • Cradle Swing - CHECK
  • Rock N Play - CHECK
  • Diaper Caddy - CHECK (Thanks Emily)
  • Glider - Wanted
  • Futon - Wanted
  • Crib - Wanted (but waiting until after baby is here...He will sleep with us for about 3 months or so..soo no big hurry)
  • Sewing Machine- Wanted (I include this in baby stuff needed because I would like to make things for baby boy)
  • Bottles - Wanted...we lost all pieces during the move lol oops..oh well new is always good !
  • Wash clothes/Towels - Wanted 
  • Exersaucer - Wanted...we had one with Van (thank you Overy's) but I would like another (daycare reasons also) and as I mentioned before new is nice too...sense we couldn't do it with Van:)
I feel like the list of misc. could go on forever haha but that is why I am trying to buy buy buy and get ready ready ready :)

2. Helping and cheering on Chad about getting our construction zone upstairs DONE! :) We have had a few or lots of set backs when it comes to the upstairs but we are finally in the clear and good to go soo there is no stopping us now!! He has already gotten a good start...our bedroom paint is done...the hallway has been primed..and the living area has been cleaned and cleared and ready to have things (like futons and gliders) put in it! Things still needing to do and goal set for March 1... here is a list..
  • Paint upstairs living area
  • Move furniture and purchase some into living area
  • Paint nursery
  • Put flooring down in bedroom and nursery
  • Buy curtains for bedroom
3. Last thing I have been trying to kick myself into gear about is...getting ORGANIZED again!! ;)
I have let myself get lazy with this pregnancy and I DO NOT like it lol..so I am working on...
  • Making sure laundry is always caught up and folded.
  • Picking up and keeping straight all the toys ( I will be purchasing more storage for daycare reasons on maternity leave) That will help :)
  • Cooking more meals for my family (I have not been hungry for big hearty meals this pregnancy so I slack at supper time..to me a big bowl of cereal sounds scrumptious..not so much to my hardworking man haha)
Now that I have let all my thoughts out...what do you think? Nesting or boredom or a lot of both lol?

  1. Sounds like preparation for nesting! Once I see you doing laundry and cooking between cleaning and painting and organizing, I'll know you've hit the nesting stage. :)
