The Daddy's nesting instinct...

I am counting by days, and I thank God that he allows the babies to stay in Felin's womb for every day that passes. We are still counting down to our D-Date of 5th January 2015 for the Grand arrival of Joshua and Josiah. The babies are kicking more regularly and intensely nowadays, and Felin will shout "Ouch" sometimes. She is asking me to give her more regular messages on her legs after one of the nights when she suffered a cramp.

I was pretty busy over the past 1 week with work, but every night, I will not fail to visit the baby's room after work and see what things are that are not done. I finally purchased my 4" foam mattress and started decorating the baby cot. I bought a 2nd hand Baby Rocker via Gum Tree and collected it at Ang Mo Kio. I removed the cloth part of the stroller and Rocker and washed them over the weekend. I threw a lot of files and notes from my study room and packed some books to be relocated to Mum's place. Even Dad dismantled the old wardrobe and bed in my old room and purchased new ones to get it baby-friendly.

Felin is very relaxed, and I have mixed feelings about it. It's good that she feels relaxed so that babies will also relax. Her happy-go-lucky attitude should be positive for the babies. It's probably the Daddy overthinking and stressing himself out. The nesting instinct of a mummy is transferred to the Daddy.

Daddy keeps cleaning and organising the house almost every day with an overwhelming desire to prepare for the babies' arrival. Daddy even took out the breast pump and started analyzing and charging the equipment. They are all charged up and ready. On the flip side, I am concerned about whether Felin is getting enough knowledge to be prepared for what might come as a surprise. Well, more things are being done every day, and I would prefer a more relaxed attitude towards it. We just need to pray and believe that they are blessed babies.
