What Is She Waiting For?

How many more bursts of nesting can I possibly go through before Baby shows up? I was wide awake Saturday morning at 6:00am as Mike was leaving for work. Since then, I have been on the go, almost in a crazy rampage, cleaning, purging, organizing and exfoliating. I cannot sit down. I look around the house and just keep finding more things I can do. I even went as far as nailing the casings back on to our back door. They've been piled in the corner for over a year, but I decided it was high time they returned to their original position.

Is Baby waiting for:

- Joel's laundry to be done, folded and put away? Done.

- Joel's room to be purged and re-organized? Done.

- the floors to be swiffered and washed? Done.

- the living room and our bedroom to be dusted? Done and done.

- the main bathroom to be cleaned, including washing the shower curtain and bath mat? Done.

- my bathroom to be purged and cleaned, including scrubbing behind the toilet? Done.

- the linen closet to be purged and re-organized? Done.

- the kitchen to be cleaned from top to bottom, including scrubbing the range hood and under the microwave? Done.

- the desk in the kitchen to be purged? Done.

- our laundry to be washed, folded and put away? Done.

- the master closet to be purged and re-organized? Done.

- my junk drawer to be purged? Done.

- her laundry and bedding to be re-washed? Done.

- the bassinett built and the sheets put on? Done.

- grocery shopping for the week? Done.

- plastic wrap to be put on our bedroom windows for insulation? Done.

- another Christmas salad made since there was an extra can of mandarin oranges and pineapples left over? Done.

- a cake baked? Done.

- muffins made? Done.

Maybe she's waiting for my teeth to be checked and cleaned? Well, it just so happens I have a dentist appt. this morning. Maybe she's waiting for cable to be hooked up in the living room? Sasktel should be here by noon. I just don't know what else I can do/finish that will make her satisfied enough to want to come out.

What I do know is that I was driving Mike nuts with my lack of ability to sit down for a minute over these past two days. I told him I just needed to get this house in tip-top shape before Baby shows up. That way, if I die giving birth, at least the house would be clean when people come over to drop off casseroles for Mike.


And now I'm going to knock on some wood.
