creating the nest
i must be acting under the forces of nature. ever since we have returned home from our north america tour, i have had this imperative urge to fix up the nursery. over the past few days, i have put together the basanet, put up shelving, cleaned, the floors, waxed up the rocking chair, and carried basket loads of baby clothes between upstairs and the laundry downstairs. never in my life have i felt this way. i feel like a swallow, darting around from here to there with this unrelenting urgency. is this the paternal instinct?
most of the clothes are now folded, waiting to be put away. then what? i guess the waiting game begins. we are now approaching the 7 weeks to go mark. things are starting to get very exciting. there are still a few other small items we need to prepare for the home birth. so we have made a check list and we are checking it twice. up to this point everything is going smoothly.
