    Smile DH thinks I'm nesting already, LOL

    Yesterday we spent a few hours cleaning out the basement storage/ stockpile area. Some parts of it hadn't been sorted through since we first moved here, about 1.5 years ago. We wound up with five huge garbage bags full of trash that went out, and we'll have a pile of boxes to recycle after we get them cut up, too.

    Today I'd like to move the shelving units around and finish up the rest of that area-- mostly just getting the shelves reorganized.

    Next, we're cleaning out a closet in the basement. Then, we're moving all the stuff that's stored in the future baby's room into the basement, then, we can start working on decorating and organizing the nursery.

    We were supposed to be doing all of this next week when Dh has a few days off, but I was feeling good yesterday and talked him into starting on it early. DH is convinced that my sudden urge to get this stuff done is an early "nesting" instinct.

    That is great Amy! You will be that far ahead when the next bout of nesting hits .
