Nesting...


I have been very drawn to nest for the last couple of years. Especially if they have blue eggs resting in them. I found a pretty metal sign that says, "Nest" on it and I bought it and hung it out front our home. As the keeper of our home that just rang true in my spirit.
With a baby coming in about a month I was wondering when the nesting would hit. I often found that between daily task, mothering, homeschooling and family life there wasn't energy left for nesting. Yet, after 2 children I knew that it would hit.
Today it is hitting! I have 2 loads of baby clothes being washed. I cleaned out our fridge and we are about to get busy working on the baby room. My husband asked me well what do you want to get done today? I rambled off this long list (that I think would be impossible to do in one day!) and we both got busy. I can't wait to feel a sense of being ready. I think God put that instinct in us moms for a reason. Just as he is intricately forming our baby boy he is working on mom and the rest of the family too as we welcome this new gift from the Lord.

What a fun time for you! Nesting was something I felt, but was on bedrest at that time. I had to sit in my nest and chirp commands from the couch! Good times! How much longer before baby boy arrives?
