a light lunch
Last night, at an hour when I should have been sleeping, I was cleaning out and reorganizing my fabric stash and sewing notions. This morning I was a flurry of brushes and rags while valiantly blitzing the house. On days like today I'm thankful that Little Brother can be an amazingly self-satisfied little guy.
After a quick, light lunch {baby seems to be infringing on my stomach capacity} I made one last pass with the vacuum cleaner and settled in on the couch to read aloud with a somewhat neglected but content little boy... his book choice, Horton Hatches the Egg! {Oh, the irony it is not lost on me!}
It wasn't until that moment, when I was sprawled on the sofa with Tukes pointing to my round belly asking, "Is dat da baby's egg, Mommy," that I realized... I'm nesting.
Nesting, it's an invigorating and exhausting place to be.
Horton did indeed hatch the egg and then my little guy went down for a nap. I should have napped too, but my frenzy continued... I added more tasks to the "to do" list, cleaned the kitchen floor, and plopped myself in front of the sewing machine to churn out a few gifts.
Nesting... indeed. Hatching an egg... oh yes. Just don't hatch too soon Little One!

That IS a very light lunch.
Hooray for progress! I'm tired just reading it.
Fun, the Horton/Egg/You analogy :-)
I think w/CA I nested along the way, increasingly at the end. That's already going on here at 4 mos, in tiny little bites...it's a good thing, the nesting!
Beth -- Yes, a light lunch, but I had seconds and fruit. I'm eating about 4 light meals throughout the day then a regular dinner at night; seems to keep me going better.
Ah, this made me smile.
How sweet. . . I loved the nesting phase of pregnancy :)
How wonderful, too, to have a child contentedly playing while you nest.
ha - light pregnancy lunches - and then the absolute orgy of eating with breastfeeding. What a contrast.
So cute. I remember loving that stage...big, but not too big to do stuff and lots of energy and inspiration. Lovely.
I love those high octane days when so much can be done! It gives you such a sense of accomplishment.
oh Christian, what a fun glimpse into y'all's day. I made it through another day of work, did my glucose test, (yay that's over!) and ran a couple errands. I've been vegging out with my sweet husband, a delicious dinner made by him and now my mac since i got home. soon to go to bed and looking forward to a weekend of nesting myself. :) you hit the nail on the head when you left me that comment last weekend. :) Kelly
You put a smile on my face!
