I think I am nesting.
I am a somewhat rational person, but the feelings I am experiencing are completely irrational.
I want to cook, like everything.
Yesterday I felt compelled to make a very large dinner...from scratch. I made chicken fried steak, spinach gratin, fancy mac and cheese (from scratch not the box kind), and homemade biscuits. Did I have the energy for this? Of course not, I am 8 months pregnant. Did I like anything I cooked? Of course not, I have a terribly picky appetite right now. Luckily Mr. Gator benefited from all this. Although, now he might disagree since he "volunteered" to clean all the dishes, and by "volunteered" I mean that I could not pull myself off the couch to do anything after I finished cooking.
I don't even like chocolate and I really, really want to cook these: (the original killer brownies) http://www.dorothylane.com/
Like I am about to go to the store to get the ingredients.
Mr. Gator doesn't even like chocolate.
So I wouldn't eat it. Mr. Gator wouldn't eat it. It's Friday, so Mr. Gator couldn't even bring them to work tomorrow. And I still have this uncontrollable need to go get the ingredients and start cooking.
If this is truly nesting, why did this have to be my form of it? I like things organized and cleaned, so I would gladly taken that kind of nesting over the urge to cook unnecessary food....it at least makes sense.
Oh and if you were thinking, well hey you can just fill up your freezer/fridge for the week.....

I am so excited for you two. This little blessing will bring so much joy. I know how you feel about naming your son....we had the same problem. We couldn't agree. Finally decided to wait to see "what he looked like" at delivery and pick the name then. I had to have a C-Section and was afraid Mr. Eckert would submit the name without my permission....it all worked out in the end... I won! Because we both agreed it was a Luke Dorow Eckert! :)
