So, I’m converting a storage room into the nursery. I am 16 weeks pregnant, so baby is due the first week of April (I don’t take exact due dates seriously, but if you wanna know, baby is due April 1st, no joke). I did some more thorough vacuuming of the room after moving more things into new storage areas. Then, lo and behold, I find FOUR DEAD YELLOW JACKETS. Yes, four. One is stuck in the screen of the window, so I had already known about it, another is on the window sill, one was on the floor near the door (good thing we’re always wearing shoes), and the fourth one, which really bothered me, was stuck in the heater vent. We have kept that vent closed the whole time we have lived here since the room was used for storage, how the heck that bee got there, I am scared to know. We rent this place, and I have never really told our landlord this but he is pretty much always here, so I assume he knows this, but near our storage room/nursery window, yellow jackets were building a nest in the side of the house. Not on, IN. So... could that mean they somehow are finding a way in that way? I am not comfortable with the idea of putting my first baby in a room that bees can easily get into.

This whole day has given me a headache.
