I must confess to being in the non-nesting slob camp. I vote for more writing and vocabulary and fabulous deserts.

I’ll go along with September being a nice month to be born. Some really good folks I know have September birthdays, the 18th and the 20th being tops.

With my first child, who didn’t know the OB had assigned her a due date of June 20th, I didn’t start nesting until the first week in July. I thought I was going to be pregnant forever. No nesting at all with second. Started nesting behaviors with the third the day she arrived. No nesting with the last one.

Does this lack of nesting behaviour mean I am a complete slob? Probably. My house is a comfy mess.

Here’s hoping you get to enjoy the entire writers conference. And lots of yummy treats.

“inconvenient cervix”

It is to laugh.

Now, hon, I know you’re busy but you can’t write a post like that and not give us small daily updates just sose we know you’re ok. Twitter, perhaps? You can embed it on your sidebar or I’d be happy seeing it at the source.

Not that you need to Twitter the whole she-bang. It’s just the lack of activity I need to know about so that I won’t assume the activity is underway.

So envious of the writing conference. (sigh) good for you, you deserve it.

I remember my last day of work. I’d planned it so that I’d have xmas break leading right into mat leave for a few weeks before my due date, so I’d have a month “off” to finish things. I went home on Friday, had my shower on Sunday, Frances was born Monday. A full month early. So much for my month “off” and my Christmas break.

They do delight in foiling our plans, don’t they?

I nested the last 4-6 weeks, so it’s a sign of getting to the end, but not per se of imminent labor I think.

So I will add my wishes to yours for September.

Not just to put you at ease, but really, I had the cleaning craziness for about the last month both times.

I was vacuuming ceiling fans 2 hours before giving birth to my first. (And yelling at my husband to, “Just let me do it, dammit,” when he tried to help.)

Then, with our 2nd, I went into labor 5 months early. Was on bed rest and awful, awful meds for months on end…and then made it to within 4 days of my due date.

Hoping you have weeks to mull it all over…

Well that was just delicious.
Thanks for that yummy little laugh.

Other than that I have nothing to say, but keep us posted…..Dogs do it, cats do it, rabbits do it, heck even cows do it. They can’t all be wrong. But I do hope you’re just so organized you’re nesting a week or two early. :)

on the day the may queen was due to arrive, I could be found on a ladder arranging hat boxes on a really high shelf in my living room.

it was 2 weeks before she actually arrived.
