How Shawn is becoming a nester

One of my favorite things about pregnancy these past two months has been watching Shawn nesting. He hates when I say that about him, but it's becoming so true. It's not a bad thing to nest either. He obviously cares about getting the house ready for baby and has taken an interest in getting the nursery ready for her, so I think it's a great thing. He's always checking on the progress in the nursery and has taken initiative putting things together, sometimes at 11 o'clock at night. Last night he even wanted to get the bassinet ready by tying the bumper on properly. It's been so adorable watching him play in the baby's room. Today he drove the CRV to work so he can ask Thane to take a look at the car seat to make sure he put it in correctly since big brother obviously has some experience with these things. Kristi always said that having a baby will make me love Shawn even more. She couldn't have been more correct. I just can't wait to see Shawn hold Inara for the first time. My money is on him crying when he sees her for the first time.

This doesn't mean that Shawn can't still be a big turkey at times. It actually hit him last night that this past weekend could very well have been our last quiet weekend before baby arrives, obviously depending on how my doctor appointment goes tomorrow and when she wants to induce me. But when the realization set in, Shawn got a little worried and the smart ass that he is actually ran out the front door. Oh how he loves to tease me. He's so funny. (When I told Thane, he said he completely understood Shawn's reaction. What a good support big brother is.) I'm just glad that Shawn finally showed some nervousness since I've been feeling it for at least the past week. Inara could be here in less than 2 weeks and that's a bit of a shocker, not that I don't want to see her obviously. But it's hard to believe that I'm now 38 weeks. It feels like just two months ago we found out I was pregnant. Time has flown so fast that I don't know if I'm ready for the whirlwind we're about to go through. But can you ever really be 100% prepared?
