D still struggling with illness. Last night he woke several times in the night to be sick. He's such a stoical child when it comes to being sick, but it still breaks your heart to see him in such discomfort.
As a consequence to 2 days of his being ill, I'm feeling pretty exhausted myself, not least because of the interrupted sleep last night. Hoping that I don't catch whatever this bug he's had - can do without vomiting and fever during pregnancy. I've had a migraine for 2 days which has been horrid, but I've coped thanks to a couple of Tylenol 3's.
I think the 'nesting' instinct is beginning to kick in. Yesterday I spent the morning cleaning out the linen closet and tidying it. I'm so NOT the kind of person to enjoy a task like this so I surprised myself by infact wanting to do it at all, and then feeling quite satisfied when it was done. I found all D's old crib linens which we'll obviously need, although I think I'm going to have to replace the fitted sheets for it as they look a bit used.
Also, when we have finally had this scan (can you tell i'm antsy about getting it done!) and hopefully know what the sex of the baby is, I'm looking forward to making a start on decorating the nursery! Having said that, we have visitors coming in April, so I can't really do anything with that room until after that as someone will be sleeping in there. I can, at least, go out and buy a few baby things though which I'm looking forward to doing!
There's not a great deal we need; we need to furnish and decorate the nursery with the exception of a crib which we have already. I need to buy a new mattress for it, a baby monitor, new bottles, and not much else. If it is a girl we'll have to get a whole new wardrobe of clothes, if it's a boy we hopefully won't! Although having said that, baby clothes are used for such a short period of time as they grow, and D was born in the winter so I suspect much of his stuff will be the wrong size for the time of year!

Posted by: Steve at February 27, 2004 09:38 PMWell it's a 'nesting' instinct and seeing as I don't intend to make one at your place I'd say it's unlikely I'll be over there doing any cleaning in the near future! :-P
Posted by: k at February 28, 2004 11:16 AMThat's what I figured but it was worth suggesting it just in case you discover you have a compulsive need to clean/tidy/neaten :-)
