Nesting.

"Nesting is the term used to refer to an expectant mother's instinct which gives her a surge of energy which prompts her to clean and do various chores around her home.  Nesting usually arises as the mother nears her due date."

I am definitely here.  I do not remember experiencing "nesting" nearly as much with my first two pregnancies as this one.  There are two things affecting this phenomena for me:  1.  We have MANY big changes awaiting us the months directly after the baby will be born.  2.  Ryan will be going on his 8 week regional rotation soon.  The past week and a half I have cleaned out all of my closets-making two large goodwill trips, cleaned out the storage room (yet again), cleaned out the garage, and done some meticulous cleaning projects around the house.  Thankfully Sue came and stayed with us for 3 days to help with the kids while I was on my rampage.  I feel so much better now that it is all done!  I think I need to take a little break from "nesting" due to the fact that my inguinal hernia and my nesting projects are definitely not getting along very well!
