Nesting

I am 32 weeks and 4 days pregnant today. I started thinking maybe I should get a bit organized for Gracie's arrival. I've washed and put away the clothes my friends were so gracious to pass along to me, as well as the things I've saved from Canaan and Matty's baby days. But all of her new things were still hanging in the closet with the tags still attached. So yesterday I managed to cut all the tags off, remove every bit of plastic stapling, throw out all the cardboard molding and packaging and got the clothes into the wash. I dried them first thing this morning and managed to piece back every outfit as it ought to be. I still haven't gotten around to putting them all away yet and some pieces were still stacked on the couch when Canaan got home from school today, which turned out to be a good thing. If I had I might not have overheard this conversation between my boys:

Canaan: Matty, look! Look at Gracie's teensy-weensy, tiny little socks! Look at how tiny her feet are going to be!

Matty: Yeah! Just wike da Itsy Bitsy Spider!

What insight! Canaan knows she's going to be much smaller than they are. And Matty, though he's never been pregnant, somehow knows I suspect Grace might actually have eight legs, despite ultrasound evidence to the contrary!
