The Nesting Phase

I finally have some time to catch-up on my baby blog and thought I'd start with describing what is so commonly referred to as the "nesting stage". Despite Clayton's thinking that I haven't enter into the so called nesting stage, I'm pretty sure my behaviour towards house cleaning/tidying/maintaining has changed significantly in the last few months. It started with wanting things to be tidy all the time. Don't get my wrong, our house is usually in fairly good order when guests come over, but on a day to day basis, chores can definitely fall to the bottom of the priority list. I remember people telling me how they couldn't go to bed without the sink being empty and how I thought they were absolutely crazy! Well, I think I have turned into one of those people. Even though I'm exhausted before bed I find myself tidying things and wanting to quickly do the dishes - you can't tell me that I haven't started nesting after hearing that. There are definitely other examples of this need to make changes to our house, the other big thing being the need to 're-vamp' all the rooms - not just the baby's room. Here is a little sample of one of my projects. A little paint and a couple new pieces and I think the bathroom looks way more modern than when we first moved in. On to the next project!
