How to tell if you're nesting.

1. You decided to make muffins for breakfast and found yourself putting 3 dozen extra muffins you made into ziplock bags for breakfasts after baby arrives.

2. 33 degrees sounds like perfect weather to back the van out of the garage, bundle up the kids and send them out to play, and then go nuts with the vacuum on every inch of said van's interior.

3. You've washed and dried and folded and put away every last piece of clothing your family owns except what's on their backs and packed suitcases for everyone for while mama's busy pushing the new baby out. You even hauled them out to the newly cleaned van and have them "just so" in the trunk for quick drop off of kids. Then you re-vacuumed because your 3 yr old got into the van while you were putting the suitcases in and left a foot print.

3. You went down to the basement storage room to put away a donated winter coat that won't fit anyone this season and came out an hour later to a completely rearranged, re-inventoried, re-stacked, and reorganized room.

4. You fed your family salad, crackers, cheese, and deli meat for lunch because you were too busy putting away 4 lbs of meat loaf, a large ziplock bag of meatballs in spaghetti sauce, and a large ziplock bag of sloppy joe meat that you have whipped up for meals after baby's arrival.

5. Your husband hides in the living room when he comes home for lunch and the kids are playing downstairs with no hint of even asking for food because that vacuum found its way to your hands again and you're beating the kitchen floor into submission.

And the final way to know if your nesting:

Your husband says, "I can tell you're at the end of your pregnancy because you're going nuts. I mean, going nuts CLEANING." Nice recovery dear.

Now I think it's time for an entirely new kind of nesting all together.
