Maybe because it is my third, maybe because we just moved back home but I have been doing some serious nesting. In the past 3 months we have completely re-decorated and refurnished most of the rooms in our house (luckily, it is a small house) and redesigned our garden. The closer the birth gets the more frenzied I become. Saturday, for instance, saw me digging a flower bed in the morning and then pulling up a carpet in the afternoon whilst making an enormous pot of spag bol for the freezer. If you are wondering what the flip Jayber is up to while I am doing all this hard labour fear not, he has been given a list of jobs which he must complete by deadline on pain of death. Family members have been conscripted to move sheds, put up blinds, washing lines, bookshelves and curtain rails. Ikea has become Caleb’s primary child care provider and even Eli has been taught how to use a dustpan and brush.
All that’s left is the new patio (I have been dissuaded from laying the flags myself) and yet another trip to ikea to kit out the nursery.
And then maybe the baby could come and give me something else to do with my time.
After I have a wee rest
p.s most very thankful for my transformed wee house
