"This is nesting...cleaning or as husbands say being crazy," Melissa Gutzwiller says. In preparation for the arrival of Alexis, Gutzwiller sits in a circle of baby gear as she scrubs everything down well.

Discussing whether or not save Alexis's cord blood, Bill and Melissa Gutzwiller try to decide if it would be worth spending the money on saving it. They are considering saving the blood for diabetes however, at this time there isn't much use for cord blood to treat diabetes. The Gutzwiller's older daughter Isabella has diabetes and the cord blood may be able to be used to treat medical issues Alexis may be prone to develop later in life.
