[open] Nesting!!

[RoseofLima]

I must have been really bad today--becuase mr husband looked at me and giggled "You're nesting!!"....

...just because I changed all of the sheets, and washed all of the receiving blankets, and cleaned out three closets and made the baby's crib all up

Anyone else get nesting urges??

He being your husband or the baby?

I know I absolutely have to be off my feet for a minimum of a couple weeks after baby is born...if I don't I just take forever to recover....and so with only possibly a week or two left to go (let's hope it's a little longer)- I feel like I really have to get things in order to to tide us over for the next month to six weeks. ANd the house being chaos is also really hard for me post partum-- it's like I hve this drive for order. I make the kids pick up like every 30 minutes- I must be driving them nuts!!

that and once I get started I either get burned out becuase there is so much, or stressed out trining to figuare out where to start....

Yeah-I have to be careful of burnout! I try to limit myself to one project at a time- one that I can complete in no more than an hour. Right now I am trying to focus on what I need to do to be ready for the baby...which means doing somethings that I have been putting off doing

Like I want to have all of the receiving blankets out next to the crib in a big basket I have---but that basket was full of other baby blankets that I don't use and need to donate, and a box of random junk that's been there in my closet forEVER! So I tried to save the stuff out of the box I could still use- and throw away the rest.

Right now I have like supernatural cleaning power though...I remeber when I was waiting for my daughter, Lucy, to be born (she was born at home) - I had my house so neat and clean- it was like superhuman! The idea of the house being a mess when I gave birth was just unthinkable --LOL!!! I don't care so much now...except for our bedroom-- it's like my little kingdom that I wan't just right so it's peaceful in there while I am getting to know baby

I nested all day. I:

*cleaned out beneath the bathroom sink and reorganized everything
*scrubbed the kitchen floors
*baked
*re-arranged the furniture in our bedroom
*moved baby stuff into our room
*re-organized our closet & dresser
*cleaned the spare room/baby's room
*cleaned and reorganized the laundry room
*did 3 loads of laundry

and now I'm pooped I took a two hour nap but I still want to CLEAN . If I wasn't so tired, I would.

LOL..so is my husband!!

I am.... its bugging me everything isn't ready. But I can only do so much before I am completely exhausted, so I just get a little bit done all day. I do have an ambitious project of cleaning all the closets planned for Tuesday.

 

[olafias]

I really hope I start nesting when I get closer because I'm not a naturally neat person, but I want to change that!

I'm only 16 weeks and waiting for such bursts of energy, not that I am fatigued or anything. I have been sleeping a lot lately though

 

[Mum2Be]

I cant wait for the nesting to begin... my kitchen cupboards need a clean and I figure its not worthwhile doing it now when in a few weeks it'll just get done again! LOL

 

[ChildByGrace]

I have the urges but by the time that i get back from work i am too tired to do all the things that i want to do.

I can already tell that when i finish work and have 4 - 6 weeks off before the baby arrives i am going to be doing so much lol

I am 36 weeks...so in the home stretch

 

[Leanna]

I wish I have been sleeping a lot.... oh well.... I get a lot of random contractions though. That's annoying. Its going to make it more confusing to tell when its for real. Last time I didn't have anything until the day of...
