151's Journal

I started nesting today. I thought nesting was fun, things get cleaned and I have energy, wrong! I ended up being frustrated with how little I can do anymore, my back hurts, I'm tiered and smelling even windex makes me sneeze for forever! Yet I still have the impulsion to clean. Make it stop! How long does this last? At least I'm not doing this, yet lol:

 Women have reported throwing away perfectly good sheets and towels because they felt the strong need to have "brand new, clean" sheets and towels in their home. They have also reported doing things like taking apart the knobs on kitchen cupboards, just so they could disinfect the screws attached to the knobs. Women have discussed taking on cleaning their entire house, armed with a toothbrush. There seems to be no end to the lengths a nesting mother will go to prepare for her upcoming arrival.

This unusual burst of energy is responsible for women ironing anything in the house that couldn't out run them. Being preoccupied with ant killing, squishing them one at a time for weeks on end. Packing and unpacking the labor bag 50 times. Cleaning the kitchen cupboards and organizing everything by size to the point that you make sure the silverware patterns match when it's stacked in the cutlery drawer. Sorting the baby's clothes over and over again is a favorite theme. Taking them out of the drawers and re-folding them, putting them away and doing it over and over again. Nesting will provide interesting stories for years to come.

What theme for the nursery, I have green carpet and light blue walls. I need some ideas it's driving me crazy lol.
