I've been nesting my entire pregnancy, but as my due date draws near... three weeks, can you believe it... the nesting is increasing.
The last couple weeks, I have re-laundered every possible baby item. Towels, blankets, car seat, swing and bouncer inserts, clothes, burp cloths, sleep positioner... you name it.
I vacuumed under the fridge one day. And the back corner of my laundry closet where dryer lint collects.
Yesterday, I refolded all of the kids' linen closet... because I was putting away the washed baby towels (see above).
I'm resisting putting the baby toys back in our playtime baskets since I know they'll just get played with by Caroline and other curious little friends.
I made a list of Caroline's schedule for grandma and have "grandma's household cash" all ready for all those post baby purchases.
Did I ever mention that I got a new vacuum from my parents for an early birthday present? It works so much better than my old one and is probably the only reason I haven't steam cleaned the carpet in preparation.
I just have to make it past our post-Ike ceiling repair that is happening on Tuesday and then I think the house will be as ready as it can be.

I can't believe it's so close! It doesn't seem that long ago that you announced your pregnancy...
Don't work too hard - you should rest while you can!
I'm so happy for you guys! I can't wait to see what it will be, but I'm putting in my vote for another little girl - and I was right last time! :)
We have Ike ceiling repairs, too! We have an estimate, we just haven't gotten a weekend together where the guy can come out and fix it. I told S that it might just be easier if he is here while I am on maternity leave, so we don't have to take any days off during the week. So, we'll see.
