Nesting

One night Court and I were talking...

OK Court was talking and I was having a minor meltdown..

(minor is an understatement, but its my blog I will give myself a little grace)

about all that needed to get done before the baby got here...

This little meltdown went from setting up the bassinet to painting the kitchen..

Because we all know that the health and well being of the baby depends on the color of the kitchen...

But as I was listing about a 100 necessary things that needed to be done..

Court reminded me, as he often does, that all the baby needs is love, food and diapers.

Sigh

I was not in the mood for that and blamed his comment on him just not understanding...

The next morning I got my email from fit pregnancy..

It talked about nesting and I read on eagerly expecting some validation for my need to scrub the toilet with a toothbrush..

(and after the conversation the night before you better believe it was Court's toothbrush I planned on using)

When I read this:

Hello, Kara. You may be driving yourself-not to mention your mate- crazy making sure that your house is spit shined and the nursery is fit for a king (or queen).Keep this is perspective: all you really need is a car seat, a place for the baby to sleep, diapers and some basic clothes.

Sigh

And because in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy you are completely reasonable and listen to logic this is what happened:

1. I thought: Court hacked into the fit pregnancy website and posted that. Nah...

2. Then I decided: the author was a man

3. Then rather smugly I thought:Ha Court forgets to mention in his little list about "love, diapers and food" that we need a bed and car seat..

4. Then came the freak out moment: we DON'T have an infant car seat.

5. Then came me screaming

"COURT! WE DON'T HAVE A CAR SEAT. WHAT IF THE BABY COMES EARLY! THEY WON'T EVEN LET US TAKE THE BABY HOME WITHOUT ONE! WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE OUR NEWBORN BABY AT THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE WE WERE UNPREPARED FOR THE BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT KIND OF PARENTS ARE WE!!!!!! etc...etc

I have no idea what they are talking about..

driving your mate crazy..

I am completely reasonable.
