Nesting

For the most part, I have been the one who has been making lists of to-dos, and worrying about how to get everything ready in time for the baby.  All the while, Dennis just looked at me like I was crazy and just seemed oh so relaxed like we had all the time in the world.  Well, now the tables have turned. Just the other day, Dennis called me at work and almost sounded frantic and told me "we have a long list of things to do before the baby comes and we are running out of time."  I just laughed and said, okay.  The whole time, I'm thinking, I'm good. I don't really think we have that much to do.  Then I just got an email from him with the list of to-dos. It's almost comical how relaxed I feel right now. I feel no sense of urgency to get anything done on the list. This is not to say I'm not planning on doing these tasks, I just know that, maybe with the exception of my hospital bag, these tasks don't absolutely need to be completed before baby comes.  All the stuff that needed to be completed before the baby comes is complete. So now I will sit back and relax, and wait for Baby Fowler's arrival while Dennis frantically nests.
