Dear Little One,
I think you are having a good little time in there right now. I know you like when I move around a lot because the minute I stop you are kicking away and the past few days I have been moving around more. Since you are so content in there, I thought might want to see what is going on outside....this is what is going on on the outside.
There is this little thing called the "nesting" instinct when you have a baby. You might experience it yourself if you are a girl, or you might be unfortunate like your Dad and have your wife go through it. My nesting instinct started right before the contractions. Poor Brody dog was my first victim. I suddenly decided he needed a good scrubbing at 10:30 at night. The contractions started an hour later.
Since I have been home, and for the first few weeks I had to stay off my feet, I had lots of time to think about all the things I would clean and notice all the new dust that was settling where your sweet little face will soon be. Couple that with the fact that your arrival seemed imminent, I felt like everything had to be cleaned immediately.
Weeks and multiple cleanings later... it has hit new extremes. Today, I woke up early and decided that the couch needed to be vacuumed and every cushion needed cleaning. This photo was the result. (Also, please note the can of Pledge. This is the second can in three weeks.)
Your Dad and I will always do whatever we need for you, but we would really really really appreciate it if you would come tomorrow so we don't have to clean the house again;)
So the house is clean...even the couch cushions!...so will tomorrow be the day?
We love you.
Xoxo,
Your Mom
