Nesting Overdrive

I know that they (whoever "they" are) say right before you go into labor, you get a surge of nesting, scrubbing down every surface, cleaning things you'd never cleaned before. For me, that nesting starts way before. Lately it's been on organizing and rearranging. I'm doing little bits at a time, so it will be a while before things look better (ie, for a little while, they look worse), but it's keeping me excited and motivated.

We're repainting three rooms--switching the current nursery to make it Sawyer's big boy room and making our current computer room the nursery. While we're at it, why not paint the TV room? I get kind of crazy with paint and changing things up. I've also been stocking up on great containers from Garden Ridge for $1.99 to help organize my pantry, which is huge, but a lot of wasted space because there's just stuff everywhere.

I also have on the back burner to finish up our bedroom, which I painted some time ago. We bought a comforter set and have Rob's mom on the prowl for matching fabric to make curtains and pillows. Oh, and I'm working on an oil painting for above our bed.

I wish I could say my energy is going toward cleaning, but my nesting leans toward the creative side of things. I do remember scrubbing all my kitchen cabinets and baseboards in the weeks before Saw was born, so I'm sure I'll get to that point eventually, but for now we'll stick to the fun projects.
