I can't even tell you how many times in the past couple of weeks Tim has asked me with pure excitement, "are you nesting?!!"
One of the last things to happen right before you go into labor is for you to nest, aka, have an uncontrollable urge to clean the house brought on by a desire to prepare a nest for the new baby, to tie up loose ends of old projects and to organize your world.
Every time I pick up the sponge or sweep the floor or vacuum the carpet Tim gives me the "are you nesting" look. He stops dead in his footsteps as if he's deliberating between rushing me to the hospital because "this is it!" or to continue with what he was doing. He wants me to nest so badly he can hardly stand it! And I want to nest so badly I can hardly stand it...so maybe the next time he asks me I can say "YES, for the love of God, I'm nesting!!"
It's gotten to be a joke between us these days because I really have been in a "cleaning mode". It just cracks me up to see the excitement in Tim's face when he walks through a room and sees me cleaning because I know exactly what he's thinking...He can't wait to meet our little girl!

Aww, that's so sweet that your husband gets excited when you clean. If only ALL husbands reacted that way EVERY time a woman picks up a mop (instead of assuming in a chauvinistic manner that that's what we're supposed to do)!
