Wishing I Could Nest

Well I finally am going to do it-start blogging. I guess its the result of two things: one, my sister's nagging and two, the need to nest before the birth of my firstborn son. I've had some nesting instincts for a while now-I bought a crib at only four months, I wasn't even sure weather our little guy was a boy or girl then. But today, at my doctors apt. I was told that he'd dropped and that my body was showing all the signs of impending labor. So, my natural reaction is to run home, put his cute baby bedding in that crib, set out his clothes and diapers. However, none of this is possible. His darling little crib is still being stored in my patient in-law's garage. Our house still lacks its wood floors, kitchen, trim etc. We bought the house last Fall and ripped up the carpet noting the lovely hardwood floors, upon further discovery however- we learned that they were pet stained and unrecoverable. We tore out the floors, and found that the sub flooring was rotted out, so I learned to use a drill and Daniel and I replaced all the sub flooring. Since then we designed a new ikea kitchen, bought new flooring, lights, windows, doors, bathroom stuff. But we have yet to finish the job. Most of the stuff is all ready and waiting to be installed. But labor is expensive and Daniel works practically 7 days a week and I'm not exactly the world's most knowledgeable handyman. So I am due in four weeks, and we are yet to settle our nest. So, I'm trying not to let this situation dampen my spirits or taint the birth of my baby boy. I'm going to blog instead. I do want friends and family to see his pics when he is born, so why not start now?
