This weekend marked a big moment for me - nesting! As soon as we found out I was pregnant Arthur was ready to nest (probably in part because we had just bought a new house so there are a lot of projects & he cannot sit still ever), whereas I couldn't quite think that far ahead due to sheer exhaustion. I don't think I realized quite how tired I was until now. My weekends were meant for resting, minor progress on projects, and internet research/planning for future nesting.
But not this weekend. This weekend I had energy & motivation so I did 5 loads of laundry & grocery shopped - 2 tasks Arthur had mostly taken over when I was so tired. (He's a great husband!). Cooked real meals! We picked out a paint color for our office/guestroom makeover, I helped finish cleaning out the room & Arthur did a great job painting. Taxes were mostly completed, house vacuumed top to bottom (although I think I hurt my back a little), and the real nesting...a full detail cleaning of the refrigerator. Every shelf & drawer came out - got a complete scrub down with hot soapy water and then all items were re-organized or thrown out. I have definitely noticed my tolerance for dirty has gotten much lower. My desk at work routinely gets a full Lysol scrub down (that Noro-virus thing is going around at work), and I'm finding my co-workers seem to be less tidy in the bathroom. It actually kind of grosses me out (I do think its getting dirtier though, despite the daily cleaning!). Not good, as I probably use the bathroom at work more than the one at my house!
Good thing I always keep old toothbrushes for random cleaning projects...let the nesting begin!
