Even though I am definitely in the final "nesting" phase of the pregnancy, it seems I am not quite at the point of reaching the first phase of labor. On a scale of 0 to 10 centimeters dilated, I am at a 0. Though I am "50% effaced" (or as my doctor put it, "mushy") and the baby is in position. With each visit my blood pressure and the baby's heart beat seem to drop, so all is going well there and the doctor of course jokes about how it's going to be a boy (due to the now lower heart rate). But gender aside, what I really want to know is how much the baby is going to weigh!
But back to the nesting...it is completely insane. I get an idea in my head about something that we should do, and then either I have to do it right away that day or I make Jay do it (key words being "right away"). ;) All the new light fixtures are up, the attic has been vacuumed and cleaned out, the yard has been cleaned up, and Jay even took it upon himself to get his motorcycle ready, set up our outdoor speakers, and finish varnishing the bar cabinets for the basement. (Keep in mind this was all pretty much 1 days worth of activity)
I have been exercising as much self control as I can muster to keep from painting the upstairs hallway and bedroom, even though the thought crosses my mind at least 5 times a day. I don't think I'll be able to hold back through another weekend....but maybe I can find a different project to obsess over.
