I couldn't stop! :) I'm in the middle of another one right now. My living room is completely torn apart, new shelves are assembled and 1/2 filled and I'm contemplating moving two large pieces of furniture (which means emptying them first, moving them, deciding if I like them and then hopefully not moving them back). I'm exhausted but I can't stop. I'm about to dump my hall closet and completely redo the area under my sink. Might tackle the pantry too. :) Nest on, sister!Ruthannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03751891036313865189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910013964875645312.post-25592043005822947902013-01-22T21:40:31.733-06:002013-01-22T21:40:31.733-06:00I am totally cracking up, you were right, we wrote...I am totally cracking up, you were right, we wrote the same blog post on the same day! Althought, I may have to lay off my natural diet/energy pills as your post was much wittier :) <br /><br />I am the same way with pinterst too. I made this board called "boys bedroom" or something generic like that- I should have called it "way over-priced glamorized pottery barn furniture with a dash of my very own interior designer who shops in SOHO boy bedroom". <br /><br />Glad I am not on this adoption journey alone!

But one things for sure... with all of this nesting your home will be ready! I love all of the pictures that you posted!<br /><br />Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004624055730221624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910013964875645312.post-1472328147143536682013-01-22T15:27:05.909-06:002013-01-22T15:27:05.909-06:00We are waiting too.

I don't know if that is wise or not, because it could be 8-12 months before we are matched. OH well!! We try to keep our hearts in check while nesting. I have my husband set to paint another room next weekend! Organizing!!!<br /><br />My husband is ready to buy baby furniture, but I think its a bit too soon!Kara Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13588849929361260249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910013964875645312.post-30917063118243995802013-01-22T13:57:02.106-06:002013-01-22T13:57:02.106-06:00Oh. my. word.

Although we have been at this process for so long it is only nautural that I "nest" more than once for them. I go in and out of the nesting phase. My nesting is more of a crazy cleaning mode so my house has been spotless for a while now:)Rachel Pehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008939637576759844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910013964875645312.post-31624925068914757142013-01-22T09:24:43.921-06:002013-01-22T09:24:43.921-06:00You are normal!

I know so many adopters hold off because the fear of the unknown, but I didn't care! I knew eventually a babe would be added to our family & nesting was the only thing that made our future son/daughter seem real to me! We had a baby shower and everything before we were matched! And it was just in time....our baby was born two weeks later! Nest away, momma! And keep us updated!

It's better than just sitting around waiting, watiting, waiting for important emails! Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16343708383918049360noreply@blogger.com
