You know you’ve started nesting when…you go from never scrapbooking in your life to Scrapbook Queen.
I have printed every pregnancy-related photo I could find and organized them in a beautiful album.
Necessary? No. Does it make me happy? Yes.
…you finally complete a guest bathroom… in one hour.
Knowing that we are going to have guests here after Annabelle arrives has gotten me freaked out about the state of our house – have I mentioned we moved in in August and have unfinished rooms? Yesterday, hubs and I finished this room in record time.

…you decorate the wall of your master bedroom closet.
Because a monogrammed wall is so much prettier than a blank wall.

…you decide to make your own nursery letters.
That is a good start, right?
I should probably mention I also organized the utensil drawer and scrubbed the toilets in the house for the second time this week. I am sure that as my pregnancy nears its end, I will get a little crazier each day.

Did I mention that I did everything shown above on SUNDAY?
Yah, that’s a lot for one gal to do in one day. Thankfully I have 52 days (right?) until Annabelle’s expected arrival to complete everything else on my To Do list.

Ugh, I have about 3 to do lists. I just keep adding things to them and it has become overwhelming! I seriously wish I could just take a bunch of days off, rest and really get down the this nesting business!

Oh man! Make sure you get some rest too girl! If it makes you feel any better, we have an entire upstairs that we haven’t touched (until now) and we moved in almost a year ago. Everything looks awesome!

Holy crap, 52 days is scary! I’m in nesting mode too! It feels like there is a LOT to do before then.

Isn’t nesting interesting?? We’re down to 3 weeks before our son arrives and even though we have pretty much everything done, I’m feeling the need to clean all the time. It’s exhausting! I have multiple lists on our fridge and I know my husband thinks I’m crazy at this point 🙂
Confessions of a Northern Belle says
Wow! 52 days AT MOST is even scarier. Oops, I guess it is 51 now. I have a little extra cushion, I guess, they say they’ll induce Dec. 20 if my little one hasn’t made her appearance. I’m sure we’ll both be ready on time!

I love the letters! I really want to do something similar in my master bedroom. I am sightly obsessed with the &. 😉

I love your projects! I had to be practical when I ‘nested’ and I did it over the entire course of my pregnancy, whether I felt like it or not. I was working full time shiftwork until about a month before she arrived, so I didn’t have time to wait until the very end. I did quite a few little projects though, if you want to check out my blog! aintnodramamama.blogspot.com

I miss nesting so much! I was so dang productive during my 2nd and 3rd trimesters and my house has never been that clean! 🙂
Confessions of a Northern Belle says
I know 52 days is SO soon… and that’s the latest. They will induce at 40 weeks if everything looks ready!
Confessions of a Northern Belle says
If we weren’t having this baby, I know the house would look A LOT worse than it does!

Have you broken your lists down to a day-by-day? It worked for me!
