Nesting

Nesting has officially kicked in!

I've always been a very clean, tidy and organized person. I thrive on organization and cleanliness. To the shock of some, cleaning and organizing is one of my most favorite things to do; lol.

Its something that has run through my blood from the very beginning of time. lol
At the age of 10 years of age, I remembering spending many a PD day with my Nana and Buppy (grandparents) and my Nana leaving her dishes and bed unmade until I got there because she knew how much I loved to clean. My Nana, like myself, was a very clean and tidy lady. She would even scrub her floors and bathrooms in pearls and heels! lol Oh how the times and generations have changed. lol

My dad always use to tell me, Devin, no one can get a place as clean as you do. You have a talent for making rooms sparkle.

Even now, many years later, I look forward to afternoons, nights and weekends when I can just roll up my sleeves and get down and dirty with my bucket of cleaning supplies. lol I get excited about this! lol (many eyes I am sure are rolling right about now! lol)

I don't claim to be the perfect house wife by any means, but I do take great pride in my home and making it a space that is clean and welcoming to all; especially my family and myself.

I have found that over the last two weeks, I have been bitten by the nesting bug. ha ha
I think it was around this time in my pregnancy with Nya that I was bitten as well.

I find myself gutting closets and reorganizing cabinets, drawers, storage places, etc.

I tackled the kitchen this afternoon when the kids had some free play time. Last week I reorganized Nya's room and the week earlier it was my linen closet.

It wasn't until I was talking to a girlfriend of mine last week that it hit me that it was nesting and not just a cleaning frenzy I was in.

At this rate, Ill be all set and packing my hospital bag again soon, along with Dennard's and the baby's. With Nya, our hospital bags were packed and ready two months before my due date. lol

You can never be ready for a baby too soon; its all about being proactive and not reactive so you can enjoy your pregnancy and be stress free. With my luck too, you just never know when the baby is going to come, so being prepared ahead of time is a smart thing! lol
