Update
I am pretty sure I am in full on nesting mode.
On monday a friend and I headed up to ikea so that she could pick up a few things for her new house; I bought a few things for the baby's room (followed by a few more things at target - although I bought stuff that we don't currently have room for, so at the moment I have an ottoman sitting in my car). Unfortunately all that walking landed me in labor and delivery with contractions and spotting. We are now at least pre-registered :) We were released a few hours later and I was told to rest. So all day on tuesday I sat on my butt watching movies and playing crosswords.
Wednesday I saw my midwife and was allowed to go back to normal activity although I was asked to scale it back a little. So I've cut back my swimming to 1100 meters at a time (I try to go every other day), and the dog walks are broken up as well; 1-1.5 miles in the morning and another 1-1.5 miles in the evening.
Yesterday I woke up and felt the need to CLEAN. Which included cleaning things with a toothbrush, cleaning windows inside and out, and sanding and repainting window sills, doors, and door frames. Even the curtains were pulled down and were washed and ironed. So far the living room is done, and the kitchen is about half done, so I should be able to keep myself busy for a few days. Although at the moment my hips are killing me from standing for so long yesterday so I'm trying to balance resting with my insane urge to get up and scrub the walls.
