According to my weekly email updating me on what to expect at this point in my pregnancy, I should have started "nesting" last week sometime. You know, suddenly feeling the incredible urge to scrub the kitchen sink on my hands and knees (I actually had that urge pretty early in my pregnancy...and not since), constantly cleaning and re-cleaning the house, dusting in my spare time...Nesting.
What the email didn't tell me to expect is that like the "sympathy pains" husbands can get and the "sympathy weight" they might gain, my husband can apparently take on "sympathy nesting." The man is a cleaning, fixing, painting machine. It's amazing and scary. But I'm grateful.
I'm sure he'll be grateful when my own nesting instinct finally kicks in. The email said nesting kicks into high gear right before labor begins. So maybe it's coming...

I kept cleaning the kitchen floor on my hands and knees with Emi, but that was just because that was the only position comfy for my back and I figured since I was there I might as well be productive, lol. Other than that, no nesting with baby #2 for me! If Ike is so into cleaning right now, you are more than welcome to send him over here. I have plenty to keep him busy ;-)
