I'm doing things... lots of things. I'm busy. I'm marking things off my list that have been neglected for far too long. Yep, I'm nesting. The nest is close to being ready, and the date of "ready or not, here I come" is right before my door. Question is, can you ever really be ready?
I suppose it is like when your overnight guests finally arrive... you then notice that big speck of dust in the corner, something that is not in its place, and that whatcha-ma-call-it that didn't get cleaned properly. And then there is usually that the reminder to yourself, that your guests often do not see those things anyway, and if they do somehow they are able to have fun and enjoy the moments in spite of those things.
... It's definitely a process, but I am learning that it's actually O.K. if everything is not just how I like it. I could imagine that our new little guy won't even notice. Hmmm... what a concept!
Liebe Allison,
ReplyDeleteich war so sehr mit meinem eigenen Blog, mir meiner Enkelkindern, Ferien beschäftigt, dass ich gar nicht realisiert habe, was sich bei dir so tut... Wirklich: another litlle guy? Ich freue mich so für dich/euch & kann deinen Nestbautrieb so gut verstehen. Es ist aber auch ein Weg, sich mit dem zukünftigen Kind zu beschäftigen & sich auf es einzustellen. Ich wünsche dir viele Ideen & Kraft & Energie!
Und ich freue mich, wenn ich weiter Neues erfahre!
Herzlichst
Astrid

I'm sure your nesting looks fabulous and is full of special mama-made touches. =) Hugs to you as you wait in these last days!!
ReplyDeleteIf you are anything like me, you are maybe a little bit of a perfectionist; however, being a mother and pefection don't live happy together. I have learned to let go. Can't wait to see your newest! Hope you have a safe and easy delivery.
