So, I don't know what it is, but for some reason yesterday all of the sudden, I just felt this, what could I even call it? A craving? A burning desire? A very strong urge, to get things ready for Shark Bait. I just kept coming up with lists of things we need to get and do and make.
He needs a car seat, a dresser, I need to go through Lincoln's baby clothes and see what we have so I can make a list of what we need, I want to make him blankets, burp clothes, toys, an Easter basket (ok I didn't say all of this was realistic or rational, it's just what was running through my head), we need to decide how to organize his room, where to put the computer (currently Shark Bait's room is the study), and I, for serious real, had to stop myself about 3 times from going and setting up the crib to be ready for him. Like I wanted to put the bumpers on and raise it up to the bassinet setting, and the whole works.
In a way it's kind of ridiculous, all this sudden rush, he's not going to be here until mid-March (and no I don't think he's coming early). And yet here I am pulling up craig's list and KSL to see if anyone has posted a cheap dresser in our area. And here I am frantically crocheting around a baby blanket (like we don't already have 500 from when Lincoln was born), and here I am frustrated that I can't find what I want at the fabric store, and that I bought the wrong kind of cloth diapers for making burp clothes out of.
Last night Aaron humored me and we got online and ordered a car seat. I feel good about that. I mean, it's not a bad thing to want to be prepared. But why all the rush all the sudden? Maybe my maternal instinct is kicking in on over-drive. Who knows. Aaron said I acted the same way with Lincoln, but I don't remember.

How funny! Even though I've never been pregnant, I can totally relate to the feeling of just getting things done! Men just don't get that. I think we like to nest. But I'm sure that your pregnancy is kicking the nesting into overdrive. You are so cute :)
I'm going to go ahead and label you officially "excited for this baby"! It really is right around the corner Krystal. He be here (there) before you know it!
I think I will be a lot like that when we finally have kids. It's easier to relax and enjoy the experience when everything is done. You need to post some Preggo pictures though :-)
We never remeber what we do during prnancy. It is good to be ready and prepared I think. good luck
I think it gets worse with every kid. I was like from day one with Aneya. I just felt like I would never get everything done before she came. Course I'm a dork and everything's ready 3 weeks in advance and then I'm really bored just sitting around waiting for the big day.
