Pregnancy: Nesting Urge
When you read books or websites on pregnancy, you’ll most likely come across the term ‘nesting’ or ‘nesting instinct‘.
Basically it refers to the ‘urge to clean up brought on by a desire to prepare a nest for the new baby’ (hmm, I disagree with the idea that we are likened with the ‘animal kingdom’ though).
But anyway … nearly throughout this pregnancy, I somehow can’t stand ‘dirty’ bathroom floors. I just NEED to scrub. It may be 10 at night, and you’d find me squatting down, scrubbing away and feeling really good afterwards when the bathroom floor’s nice and white (or should I say, ‘whiter’ than before!).
Oh, one other thing that I’ve been wanting to do since some 3 months ago is to re-arrange our bedroom too! Just so that the baby cot can be prepared and I can slowly tidy up the drawers and clothes, etc.
BUT… we somehow have just been busy and we just can’t seem to find the right time.
Well … not until today! *big smile*
We finally did it.
We re-arranged the furniture. Swept. Mopped. Wiped the dust away. I felt REALLY good!
Anya also got a new bedroom corner now (plus a toddler bed!). And she’s SO excited!! (hmm, actually I was too and still am! hehe).
It’s just so exciting to see her so happy with her new ‘corner’. She spent a LONG time reading books on her bed and pretending to sleep. Hehe.
It’s so cute!
PS: And oh, of course … a big CONGRATULATIONS to Nichol, a good old friend of mine. She gave birth to Will Tan last Friday. The baby’s 3.98kg and she delivered naturally withOUT epidural!
Congrats Mike & Nic! May you both have the wisdom and strength to bring up this little one God has entrusted in your loving hands.
