Purging like crazy~

[Gray's Mommy]

I have been in purge mode since I got a positive test! I keep realizing that this birth will be happening within a month (or so) and have kicked it into high gear. I have another week off before I go back to work (for 10 days) and want this crap out of my house!!

My goal is to have my house ready for baby so it doesn't fall into a horrible status after the birth!

I have gotten rid of 62 things so far TODAY!! I'm starting in my laundry nook, then kitchen, then one child's room

Sounds like your nesting like crazy!!! It's so different for everyone... I had a friend who nested by cleaning all her windows... I spent the first 7 hours of my early labour with my first dd cleaning up my computer and setting up a new internet network (with the help of a tech over the phone... had to tell me every few minutes that I needed to have a contraction... freaked him out a bit). With my second, nesting consisted of going through boxes and boxes of baby clothes. This time around, I've been nesting for months - house cleaning, laundry, sorting out the basement... the last thing I want done before baby is get an iTouch so I can listen to my hypnobirthing and hypnoparenting soundtracks. Should have that all done by the end of today.

And then... it's baby time!!!

I'm on standby. My in-laws are here until Monday and then I have to finish painting my bedroom (which they are occupying right now) and rearrange and paint another bedroom. This week has been crazy busy w/a houseful of family, but it's been SOOO good.

My brother-in-law and father-in-law framed a bedroom and huge walk-in closet in the basement. They also completed the wiring in a bedroom and office in the basement. I'm so jazzed about that. It's been taking us forever and they put us about six months ahead in just a week!

My sister-in-law has not let me clean up the kitchen a single time since she got here and has helped me feed the freezer with 13 meals!

I've got four weeks left and I need every week - I've got tons of stuff to do.

Speaking of purging - we've been doing that in the basement and it feels soooo good! Way to go, Mary!

I have been organizing like crazy. Last night I got a sudden burst of energy (after a loooong christmas day) and made DH help me clean out 3 closets, purge, organize,...and then clean out some bins and boxes so we could store stuff in the basement. I've also been washing baby clothes, prepping cloth diapers, and generally freaking out about the state of my house! I can't wait to get the christmas stuff taken down and put away.

I know that I will not have time later to really clean and organize.

DH looked at me last night about 11PM and said, "Is this nesting". I said no talking, more working

Purging like crazy here too! It finally caught on with my DH who is a packrat by nature. I'm hoping it sticks with him!
