Nesting?

[momomom]

Do soon to be grandmothers have nesting behavior? Because I am gardening like a maniac although that is something I normally only get into in the spring. This is truly excessive but VERY productive

Hehe, I don't remember any 'nesting' behaviour before my grandchildren were born, but maybe wasn't quite as close to the imminent births as you. I see you used to work at a mother/baby unit and have/had lots of books on lactation, so you should be very handy for your DIL or daughter(?). I remember last autumn or the autumn before I had lots of energy for gardening in the autumn because it was much cooler and more conducive to work

I'm not only close to the birth time wise but also and happily geographically. We live 10 minutes away from both sons and DILs (only one is expecting).

I think my energy is also higher now because I have retired. I work and rest in rotations. I also take pain medication freely I admit.

Doctors are very cautious about babies going over the due date too much these days. They are giving Julie 1 week then inducing. I think 2 would be better, unless they see a specific problem.

Yes, I was the lactation consultant in our local hospitals neonatal intensive care unit. I miss the people but like being home.

Oooh, how have I been able to miss you're about to become a granny?! Exciting! The best of luck to everybody!

Thanks leeneh, I don't think I've mentioned it publicly before. I'm very excited. I dreamed about the little critter last night, all weird I used to work here but they have moved things stuff as I did work where he is to be born before retiring.

COME ON DAVID!!

I'm pleased to say this is the first year I planted garlic saved from my own crop from the previous year. But I have to admit I had very little to eat, lol.

I got the spinach planted too!
