Nesting has kicked in

It seems a little early to me to be feeling like this!  I imagine it's the thought of waiting till the last minute and not having time to do everything that has kicked this feeling in.

Today I was able to wash down some baseboards, and it made me feel so good to see it so clean.  There must be just enough moisture in the air to make dust stick to them so it's impossible to just vacuum off, the way I usually clean the baseboards.  So I found a soft pillow for my knees and scooted my way across the floors and scrubbed them down.  There is still a long way to go before I finish all of it, but it was a good start and made me feel much better.

Next, all the shelves were pulled out of the fridge and cleaned.  Another thing that is complete and off the list, at least for now.

Thankfully my oldest decided to clean up her room and bathroom without being asked today.  Now she isn't a messy person by any means, but she did the real cleaning and not just tiding up.  I didn't even have to ask her to do this!  It's a miracle from heaven!  After the last few weeks we have had with getting her to do things, you would understand how much of a miracle this really is!  She is a great kid and is very compliant more often than not.  Just have had some growing pains as of late.  Minor things, that are normal, but still make a  mother cringe.  :)

Tomorrow one more thing I have been putting off will be checked off my list.  I'm getting my hair done!  The skunk streak in the front of my hair will be gone, and I will stop just pulling it back in a pony tail, most days.

A special surprise showed up at my door today!

 I wasn't expecting this, and I imagine it was supposed to be for my baby shower this weekend.  It was shipped directly from the store so it was delivered in the box showing what it was.  I am so excited about it!  These things make it seem so real, and so close.

Things are getting exciting around here!
