Lack of nesting!!! :(

Well, one week from today I will be at St. Vincents, getting ready to give birth to our daughter. I made the mistake of watching some births on YouTube yesterday (DON'T DO IT!!!) and got a little freaked out but I have to remind myself that women do this every day.

I think this week has been a lot for me to take in emotionally. My parents left on Monday and seeing their house empty was more then I could handle. My parents are amazingly supportive people and have been more then we could have ever asked for in parents. They have bought us so many things for Emersyn and more then that, they are just so supportive and positive. I think because I am becoming a parent myself, I see and appreciate that more then ever now and just wish that we didn't have to deal with this but I have to count my blessings that both my parents are healthy, my dad has a good job, and luckily, they have the means to come visit, hopefully often. So, dealing with my parents leaving and the impending changes that surround having a baby have made for a very emotional Patti this week. :) Bless my husband for being so patient and loving with me.

I am desperately wanting some major nesting instincts to kick in but I find myself kind of dawdling (is that a word!?!?) through the day, just waiting for Brett to get home. My mother-in-law is going to come over this afternoon and we are going to go through Emersyn's clothes and get all her 0-3 month stuff washed and get the rest of it sorted by size. That will be fun to get done. Brett is going to help me clean up the house tonight, we are having our neighbors over for dinner tomorrow and the house needs to be presentable. They haven't seen the nursery yet and I want it to be super cute when they do. Not sure what I am going to make for dinner yet. Luckily it isn't so blazing hot here right now, I can use the oven without fear. :) I am a little annoyed though, from what I have heard and read, I should be a nesting machine at this point. What the heck?!?! :)
