It is commonly characterized by a strong urge to clean and organize one's home and is one reason why couples who are expecting a baby often reorganize, arrange, and clean the house and surroundings.
And in my case nesting also includes the urge to SHOP! I DID not have this with Hayden, and usually I am not a big fan of shopping (well, it all depends where, and for what). Anyways, this week I had big time urges to shop for the baby and also for Adrian and Hayden! So, I logged onto ETSY and scoured for things that will ONLY be useful. I got Adrian a couple of things for Father's Day, which in my opinion are the best gifts that I EVER gotten him! I would love to post pictures of the gifts I got him, but he reads this blog (sorry babe). And for Hayden I just got a little thing for his hospital bag (not to mention I have tons of things in my cart that I wanna get him for his hospital bag, but we are on a budget! lol) I also got a car seat cover thing for the baby, its not really neutral friendly, but honestly when Adrian and I saw this we could NOT pass it up!
Its STAR WARS!! Now you can see why Adrian did NOT wanna pass this up! If it's a girl, poor girl!
And this little thing for Hayden! I was going to sew one, but I never get to Winnipeg and the fabric store here doesn't have the coolest fabric so I decided to buy one! I think it will go good for his hospital bag when the time comes. Trying to find things that will distract him, and keep him quiet because if I do go into labor during the day we would like it if Hayden is there (not in the delivery room, but in the waiting room or in Selkirk), that way he can be the FIRST to meet the baby.
I really wish I could put Adrian's gift's up here since that was the majority of my purchases and it is such a KICK ass gift! Honestly, I am SO excited to give it to him. I will have to write a post about it on Father's Day!
And the following is a little bit of what's in my cart... (there is way to many things to put all of it up, and half the stuff I probably won't buy, but a girl can dream!)
I found this Washi Tape that I wanna get for Hayden, then get a huge cardboard box and make a little town for him! (Thanks Pintrest!)
This comes in Hayden's size and would love to get him one, but it would probably be VERY easy to sew!
If we have a boy, I think this will be the first thing I buy him! SO CUTE! And it doesn't help that Adrian and I are HUGE Duck Dynasty fans, and this SCREAMS Duck Dynasty!
This one too!
This one comes in different colors, so if it is a girl I would get in pink!
I would also like to get this for Hayden! Again, probably easy to sew yourself, but when you live in no mans land your resources are limited! :)
Such a cute sweater! And I can totally hear Hayden running around RAWRing at everyone!
This week the whole stage of nesting has come like a roaring lion! I washed and organized all the neutral baby clothes, organized all of Hayden's clothes, and cleaned out "junk" and Adrian had the joy of bringing lots to the support stuff! The spare bedroom is pretty much all cleaned up besides all the baby stuff that needs to put in its place. I organized books, toys, and Hayden's closet. FUN STUFF! And this weekend Adrian FINALLY has it off including Friday, so we are going to the thrift store to hopefully find some furniture for the baby. And if we do then we will refinish it Saturday and Sunday. I would love to get that room done by the end of this month, I am making that my monthly goal. I know, I know I have LOTS of time but soon I will start getting bigger and I would love to have the last few months where I can TOTALLY concentrate on Hayden, cause soon he won't be the only baby in the house. Kinda makes me sad, I am sure second time mom's will understand that feeling (that's a whole other blog post).
Anyways, Hayden is napping so I should take advantage of that and read or catch a couple of zzz's. Oh, one more thing Hayden slept past seven this morning! YAY! We slept in!
