I was under the misguided impression that birds made nests to lay their eggs. I am now finding out first hand however, that female humans too, make nests. Not to lay their eggs, but to lay their newly “hatched” babies. I laughed when I first heard tales of how women ran around cleaning the house and “getting it ready” for their almost new born. I’m not laughing now!
For the past few weeks, my mind has been completely occupied with what we ought to be decorating our Sprogs room with. What furniture we should be getting, what pram we should be getting, how much money we should be spending… it’s insane! If I had a full time job (like most women do) I think I would be the most unproductive person in the company!.. OK, except for maybe the guy in the corner who spends all his time surfing for porn and hiding his monitor from view! I just feel like I have no focus, and spend more time daydreaming than I do going to the loo (which is often)!!
I thought the idea of women making a “nest” would only kick into full swing once popping was imminent, but no sir! Sitting with the last trimester on my door step, I’m finding that until I have filled this urge to beautify and clean for my unborn baby, I’m not going to get anything productive done at all. So off to the shops I think to buy the necessary gear, so I can start to focus my mind on more important matters, like making money to support her once she’s here!
