The Nesting's Begun
The Grinch has overcome my usual Christmas cheer.
It's only barely been a week since the 25th and I'm over it. Freaked out. Done. Anxious. Get this mess away from me. In our entire married life (hey, that's four Christmases, people), I've always insisted on leaving our tree up until...at least February. Yeah. Adam hates it. But my nostrils are the boss and they say the tree stays - it smells too good to throw away so soon.
Not this time.
Nu uh.
Every time I looked at the tree, at the decorations, at the cramped space that comes with the Holidays, I felt panicked. Stressed. And these feelings weren't going away. So yesterday - with an unbeatable view from my vantage point - Adam took away our tree while I boxed up the rest. And finally, my anxiety has diminished.
I'm pretty sure I'm experiencing what they call "nesting." I'd never heard of it before a month ago...but truth is: it's totally real. Baby Girl is coming soon and it's time to make sure everything is in it's appropriate place before she arrives. Whoa. We're having a kid!
