Still Nesting?

Yesterday John and I spent a good portion of the day cleaning. I mean, WHEN did I become that person that actually FELT better when having a clean house? It was sometime during my pregnancy. It hasn't stopped. Maybe it is a "mom" thing. I actually spent about one hour with my head upside down in our oven, scrubbing. I would stand up to let the blood in my head drain back down and take a deep breath (I'd been holding my breath due to the smell of the cleaning chemical)...and I wondered why I was dizzy and had a headache.

Never thought that I would clean an oven in my life. I remember when my mom would clean our oven when I was little. She would use this spray and then set the oven to do a "self clean". I don't think that our oven has that option. Plus, it takes several hours and I needed it to make dinner last night since we were having guests over. I just never saw myself doing something like this. And for good reason too, it was not fun.

But there is something about starting the New Year with a clean, organized house. I didn't go too far into the cleaning/organizing thing, but there are no dust bunnies (in plain sight, which is all that counts, right?)... I'm excited about the coming year, watching Q grow and learn new things, everyday. He is really getting to the fun stage.

Quincy started a new daycare. We've actually tried to get him into Baptist Daycare since I was about 6 months pregnant and became an employee there. They were full and have been until a few weeks ago. We liked the other place okay but knew it was temporary until we could get the other slot. I guess we didn't have any basis for comparison until we were at the new place. We like it much much better. It really seems to be a good learning environment and very caring employees. The picture below is what the last daycare gave me on our last day...a picture with Santa. Before you ask...I don't know. I don't know why he didn't have clothes on, I don't know why the "santa" looks scary and NOT happy to be holding my baby, I don't know why he doesn't have a mouth...but I can guess why Q looks so funny! I mean, this picture should have not been printed or given to the parents. It kind of looks scary. Needless to say, We LOVE Baptist Daycare!
