Nesting instinct refers to an instinct or urge in pregnant animals to prepare a home for the upcoming newborn(s). It is found in a variety of animals (both mammals and birds) including humans. (Wikipedia)
That "nesting instinct" is in full swing at our house at the moment - from cleaning to cooking to organising to sewing to literally making a nest for our new baby. Because we recycle many unused items at our house, I had sold our bassinet from Baby J. Now that baby #2 arrival is imminent I needed to come up with a sleeping solution for it. My bestie just had her baby and was really pleased with the "DockATot"(https://dockatot.com/) for her little one. I did my research and surprise... they don't yet sell them here in NZ! (sarcasm intended) I decided I would pick my own fabric and make my own. 0_0 I definitely did not know what I was getting myself into. This project definitely tested my beginning sewing machine skills. This was not fun to make or easy, but I am very happy with the end result. Looking forward to placing our new wee baby in their little nest. Tutorial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FroD9XeowwI NZ safe sleeping tips for newborns: http://www.kidshealth.org.nz/safe-sleep-your-baby
