Is there such a thing as nesting too early?

I suppose with only 95 days until my due date, it doesn't seem terribly early to get the nesting bug. However, the bug has been in me for a few months - I just haven't acted on it. This past weekend I came down with a cold and between my parents, husband and in-laws I've been blessed with the rare opportunity to do nothing but to recover on the couch. I've spent a good time of that watching documentaries (I love that!), but today I decided that I should spend some time getting a schedule and list of goals put together. I've been hearing the ticking of the countdown clock in my mind a lot this week and I have so much that I want to get done!

Organize and clean out the bookshelves and DVD collections
Clean out the cabinets in the kitchen
Scrub the oven down
Create meal plan
Get a new infant car seat (our previous one is no longer use able)
Buy a toddler bed for Amara
Get bedding and mattress for said toddler bed
Buy decorative wood letters for the new baby

I'm also considering potty training Amara, because I really feel she would get the idea. She is very bright and wants to be do everything adults do. When she begins to realize that adults don't do the things she does, she tends to just stop doing it (I didn't have to wean her from nursing or her pacifier). I had her sit on a little potty the other day and she seemed quite proud to be on there and sat for quite awhile. I just need to block out a certain time to concentrate on this.

So as you see I really have a lot on my mind in regards to getting ready. Now that I have a list of goals and I need to schedule them on the calendar. :)
