It's been a bit crazy around here lately. For one thing, no one told me that Grandma's to be also get a strange urge to nest. I was reading to my daughter the other night about some unusual signs of impending labor. Well after she got exasperated with me, having learned it all in birthing class, I decided to continue to reading to myself. Often the Mom to be will get an overwhelming urge to nest.
Well this Grandma to be is having that same urge.
I am joining the lovely Marty for Tabletop Tuesday, be sure to check it out!
My daughter is 15 days away from her due date. The wait is driving me crazy! She calls me several times a day with strange pains, usually little cramps but then they go away.
I think I'm starting to have some labor pains myself! lol.
Have a great week !
Cindy

ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. Sympathy pains and sympathy nesting from the Grandma. Yes, it's almost time. Sleep with your makeup on....you never know when you'll be needed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nesting there, Cindy. Love the arrangements. I hope the time passes quickly till that little ones arrives safe and sound! Linda
ReplyDeleteOh boy! You are nesting aren't you? LOL! Everything really looks wonderful and welcoming. I especially love the front porch arrangement. I really like how you hung those pinecones on it. That's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great Cindy! Such an exciting time, I hope to be in your shoes one day-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteWaiting can drive you crazy! Keep busy and time will fly. Your vignettes are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love your nest, Cindy. So fally and pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou can come and nest at my house! Everything just looks beautiful. I can't wait to see the new room!
ReplyDeleteSandy
The arrangement on the front porch is my favorite! I love it! I'm sure this is an exciting time for you!
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy, everything looks so pretty. I love the arrangement on the table and the basket on the porch is fabulous. I really like how you have the pinecones hanging on the front. The sneak peek at the baby's room looks fabulous. I know you are all so ready for the little bundle to get here. Hang in there. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDelete15 days....and then if she goes late each day seems like FOREVER!! It is always so exciting. My daughter is due to have her third in January.....it is exciting but also tiring! ha!
ReplyDeleteI really like your Fall decor - very pretty. Sounds like Braxton Hicks to me!! :D Tell her to take the nesting thing seriously. :-D Time to get things in order!!
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted.
I know exactly what you mean. It happen to me when Our Daughter had her first Son and than again when she had the twins.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures. The arrangement is so pretty, love that one.
Willow
A labor of love for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, it gets easier after the first!
That's why all Granny's have gray hair!
My prayers for a very safe delivery!
Of course grandmas feel like nesting too! After all, at some point that sweet new addition to the family will be visiting and you'll want to have it all comfy cozy, well not that it isn't now, but babies in the house call for that extra comfy cozy touch. Like a nice padded rocking chair for when your arm falls a sleep but you still can't bear to lay them down!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dawn
Hello Cindy,
ReplyDeleteIlove your little bird box, very pretty! 15 days is long for the mother and grandmother, isn't it?HUGS Catherine
LOL! I'm sure your daughter is counting the days! I love that $1 basket! It looks just wonderful filled with autumn goodness. Love that sweet angel on the table too!
ReplyDeleteManuela
My older brother actually had morning sickness when my SIL was pregnant with their first child!!! That was so funny to me...but not him!!! Happy Nesting!
ReplyDeleteSure Grandma's can nest...Grandma's get to do whatever they want too, lol!!
ReplyDeleteYour arrangements are gorgeous. I love the cattails and that basket for only a buck...WOWSA!
I am a huge fan of those little foldup trays. I have one and just love it...it too was from a dear friend.
Always fun to visit and praying little grand makes a safe entry :)
Blessings!
Gail
Your fall nesting is just beautiful! Oh my, that waiting is the worst ever, isn't it? Oh those sympathy pains, they'll get you! What a very exciting time for you and your sweet family!!
ReplyDeleteNancy
I love that charming fall arrangement you made for the front porch!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
Hi Cindy! What a wonderful time to be nesting, just when our thoughts begin to turn to the indoors and cozying things up! You have so much to look forward to. Keep those pics coming of your nursery. With your decorative touch I know it will be stunning!Hugs
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute getting that nesting instinct :-) I love your fall creations and that tabletop looks very sweet.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week my friend.
Blessings,
Marcia
I do believe you're right. Sort of like we're getting ready to give birth. Well, in a way you are. You're becoming a grandma. That's a new beginning too. Everything looks so beautiful in your nest.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Your fall arrangements are beautiful! How exciting!!! a new baby! We just added #15 to our crew....
ReplyDeleteDebbie@houseatthelake
Aaaahhh.... Baby's room is going to look sweet. Have fun nesting...
ReplyDeleteLove your cute basket- I like cat tails in arrangements. Didn't see any to buy this year, and I didn't get out to any creeks or ponds, either. :-(
I'm sure you'll be staying busy for a while.
hugs, Sue
I love your arrangements you made, they are very pretty for Fall. Congratulations on going to be a Grammy and I know you are ready for sweet baby to come along. Happpy
ReplyDeletenesting. Have a great day!
Cindy, I frequently get the urge to do a little nesting around here. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! ~ Sarah
count down to a whole new world....you'll understand after the baby comes...great nesting...
ReplyDeleteI love your centerpiece, Cindy.
ReplyDeleteI'm not expecting a new g'baby, and yet, I am still having the urge to nest.:-)
Pretty fall flowers. I can't wait to see the room redo! Enjoy your nesting!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great Cindy. I love your centerpiece you made for the dining room table.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Wednesday.
Gail
This is such an exciting moment, Cindy. I bet you can't wait for the baby to arrive. The room you are recreating is so adorable. I love your flower arrangements too esp. the one in a basket outside....Christine
ReplyDeleteShe better hurry and have that baby or you are going to be exhausted!!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, between you and Gloria..am I in a constant state of suspense! I DO SO LOVE BABIES. I keep buying doll clothes..so guess even at this late age I am not really over babies. Let us know when it all happens. We are sitting here at our computers...holding our breaths...inhale...holding it...holding it...(please tell her to hurry! Ok? :) LOL
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Mona
Give my best to the Great Grandma!! :)
I love how excited you are. Since my little grands belong to my son, I didn't get to do any of this stuff. I just waited for a phone call telling me there was a baby. I'm sure it will be very different when my daughter has hers (which she has promised me she will at some point).
ReplyDeleteYour fall things look wonderful...just stay busy, these last days will pass quickly!
How exciting! I can certainly understand the nesting feeling what with a new grand baby on the way any day AND the fact that it's fall and time to decorate for it. I'm really excited to see your daughters old room fixed up! Love your flower arrangements too. Have fun!
