constant nesting...

i thought nesting was something that happened toward the end of pregnancy, but i'm not even 7 months yet & i've been in the purging/organizing mood for weeks now. i'm not kidding, so far i've gone through the house and been getting SO much done that i'm starting to run out of things to clean. it's felt so good to finally get thigs done that have been on my "to do" list since we moved in to this house (almost a year ago). here's my list of things i've gotten done:
1.~cleaned out the inside of mine and derek's cars.
2.~cleaned out the girls room (getting rid of toys that had missing parts/broken, etc.)
3.~REALLY cleaned out my closet/dresser & motivated (nagged) derek to clean out his too.
4.~cleaned out the kitchen junk basket that's been overflowing with mostly "junk".
5.~taken down curtains that i didn't like (that came with the house when we moved in)...in hopes of getting shutters sometime soon...if we're able to buy this house if the bank will approve the short sale(we're renting right now...that's a whole other long story) .
6.~got caught up on my scrapbooks/picture developing/putting pics in albums.
7.~put the girls crafts/artwork from the year organized and put away the ones we wanted to keep in a "craft keepsake box".
8.~cleaned out the fridge/pantry.
9.~cleaned the dust out of the air conditioning vents and replaced the air filters (actually, i have to give derek credit...he replaced the filters).
10.~organized/cleaned the backyard patio & got rid of broken/old/never played with stuff.
...i know there's more, but i can't think of what else there is right now.

i wonder how i'll be at 9 months pregnant if i'm in such a mood to clean now...maybe it's just happening earlier! it sounds weird, but i'm kinda sad that everything's so organized because i'm running out of things to do! :)
