So Soon?

I can't believe the energy I had today. I just want to write it down because really with this pregnancy days like this have been few and far between. I still have a while to go but I was full force in 'nesting' mode. (I have no memory of when I hit the 'nesting' phase with the others. This feels so soon. When did you 'nest'?) We had our ward dinner last night and someone was talking about early labor and being on bed rest and how scary that can be. I have no symptoms of either and no reason to think that I will go through that (thank heavens) but it put me into gear today! Something my house sorely needed.

I was going to go shopping today but never found someone to go with and I wasn't that motivated anyway so it was no big deal. I spent the morning (while Milo helped someone in our ward move) cleaning out drawers, organizing under my bed and trashing stuff I have no idea why I kept in the first place. I am so guilty of that. I don't mean to hang on to stuff I don't need, I just don't throw it away. It's a stupid cycle. I loved getting rid of all that junk! Milo was a little shocked when he came home but definitely welcomed this new 'nesting' phase.

My dad had sent the kids some money for their birthday and so we were going to let them go pick out something at out mall (aka Walmart, HA!). Then I started thinking, they already had new toys, are going to get new toys for Christmas and that right now, they really didn't 'need' anything. So I asked them if instead of a new toy would they like to go to the movie with popcorn and treats. That was met with screams of yes and jumping up and down. So we headed to the Bee Movie at 3 this afternoon. They all thought they were big stuff because they paid for themselves and each had their own ticket. Pretty cute. It was perfect timing, not too many people and not right during dinner. The kids are getting so much easier to take to movies, they used to be up and down and all over the place and it was hard to stay calm and even want to take them in the first place. I love that they just need some popcorn, a drink and a little candy and they are good to go for the whole thing. Cute movie by the way, all the kids liked it.

When we got home and made it through dinner, I was still obsessed with my vacuum. I started vacuuming my walls! I probably shouldn't confess this but I rarely do that task and was so proud of the project when I finished. Milo came in, saw me and started laughing, he said he loves this phase of pregnancy. Less work for him and I'm not as bored. I guess that makes for a good combo. Too bad it doesn't happen everyday and let's hope it doesn't take a couple days to recover. Oh well, it was totally worth it!
