Nesting
This disclaimer should be given to couples who are toying with the idea of having children:
Warning! Fathers, be aware that your wife will agonize over shelf/cabinet organization, bed linens, lamps, rugs and attempt to have you purchase new carpet, blinds, couches, or anything else that she might think a brand new baby will need in your home.
In the last month I have had a serious case of "nesting." The new couches, blinds, floor lamp, and shelving system look great. The new carpet will be installed on Wednesday. I can't wait. I want to take the day off just so I can start re-organizing closets as soon as it's finished. Please do not stop by this week as I will be checking and re-checking to make sure everything is "in place."
I know this is completely irrational due to the fact that I will be home for 4 months after Luke is born and will be dying for something to do, but I can't help myself. Only 3 more weeks until d-day!!!

Leslie, I feel your pain. I was trying to unload the dishwasher yesterday, but I couldn't put anything away without clearing out that entire cabinet/drawer, scrubbing it with soft scrub, then reloading/reorganizing it at the same time. I have steam-cleaned the floors 3 times in the last week. And I feel like I'm going crazy because I have so, so much more cleaning and organizing that I want to do. Of course none of it will actually affect Hannah. Ugh! Not too much longer.
