NESTING!

I have been so thankful how great I've felt this entire pregnancy but I still get a bit run down when my brain has bigger plans than my body can keep up with!  I'll have the idea that I'll get xyz, etc. done in a day and finish x then need to eat and rest.  Seems my time is even more limited now that I have to prepare meal, snack, meal, snack, meal all day long due to gestational diabetes.  My to-do list has gotten longer, not shorter!  
Then yesterday I guess I had my first nesting surge of energy!  Not only did I drive to SF to say hi to my friend Kelly and pick up a few things to borrow for the shower, I got 2 loads of laundry done, scrubbed the windows and window sills in the living room and re-hung all the curtains, vacuumed (even busted out the little attachments on the couches and small spaces) and cleaned the kitchen.  There were moments I would think, "I need to take a break!" and so I would, but then I would no sooner get up to take my plate to the kitchen and get distracted washing dishes.  Or I'd get up to go to the bathroom and remember I was hand washing one of the small window's set of curtains.  I was beat by the end of the night and a bit sore the next day!  It's not just about finally feeling like I have a bit more energy to get things done, it's a rather manic feeling too.  The next day was Thursday and I rested during the day then worked in the evening, worked a full 10 hour day Friday and again Saturday night, so by Sunday I didn't do anything.  As it is the week before my shower and my Mom arrives Thursday, I really need another nesting surge to show up!!  My sister-in-law Beth, between her busy schedule, has been really great about helping with certain projects and being the first one to try and take over any "Josh" chores that he has not had time for.  She did a big organization of our basement to make more room so now a few things can start to flow like getting the coffee table we haven't sold out of our bedroom and down into the basement, which means we will have room for the birthing tub on the big day and then the basinet will have it's place in our room, which is currently one of the many baby related items taking up space in the already snug guest room.  Our house is very much like a constantly revolving game of tetris.  A better description would be that game where you have to strategically slide 15 separate pieces in order to get one piece where you want it and so forth?  Not sure it has a name.
So not only am I getting things ready for the shower (and I have no idea how nearly 30 people are going to fit in our living room, aahh!), but I'm also enlisting Mom's help to run around and check off items we need for our home birth in time for our Tuesday home visit from our midwife, Pearl.  Not only is it daunting to have so much to do, but it also highlights the fact that we have to be prepared the baby could arrive at any point in the next 4+ weeks!!
