This month we are focusing on the topic of nesting.
 
Every pregnant woman goes through a period of nesting. Try not to over do it. See it as a time of cocooning, preparing, a time to make your space. Make your home a nurturing cocoon for you and your family. Feeling compelled to start that remodel on the kitchen or the extra bathroom? You are not alone, but we encourage you if you are going to take this on, take on a small project, and have a good team to support you so that it doesn't turn into a stressful time. Here is the time where your partner can really shine in their role.

Why Pregnant Women "Nest"

by Alyssa Berlin


Have you ever seen a pair of house finches creating a nest?

The mother finch sits on her eggs to keep them warm for around two weeks, while the father goes to search for tasty morsels to feed her; just a few days after their eggs become hatchlings, mom and dad instinctively trade duties- one keeping close watch over the chicks, the other finding them food - until their now-fledglings are ready to take flight on their own. Click here to read more...

Nest in Comfort

by Ingrid & Isabel

 

Your last weeks of pregnancy may have you scrubbing and organizing every corner of your house to make sure everything is just so for baby. With so much to do and a looming due date in the not-so-far-off future, it may be easy to turn to your trusty sweats. Consider a few pieces that will help you stay cozy and still feel stylish during your extra time at home, both now and after baby arrives. Truth be told, with a newborn in the house, simple pleasures like a morning shower turn into a hot commodity. Worry less about what to wear, so you can spend an extra couple of minutes enjoying your shower.

 

Here are four must-haves for effortless at-home style:

Dad's Nest, Too

Nesting is a word predominately used to describe female behavior prior to giving birth; nesting can be defined by behaviors such as: getting the house in order, setting up the nursery, creating an ambiance in the household to prepare for the arrival of the new baby. But what does nesting mean to me, the dad? And how can it be defined by men?
