So, I took apart the entire vacuum to clean it, randomly scrubbed the kitchen floors, swept and vacuumed the entire apartment, and rearranged the bathroom. This morning, something fell out of the hall closet, and as I was putting it back, DH said to me, "would you please stop nesting??!!! You're cleaning everything in this house to within an inch of its life." </p> <p>...whoops... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1289316 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 13:48:24 +0000 catomd00 1289316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nesting really kicked in during the second trimester. I was cleaning and organizing every room in the house like a freak! It's tapered off now, though at 29 weeks since I'm starting to get tired. Nursery furniture is being delivered Friday, though so I'm excited to decorate! I'm definitely glad I got a huge amount of organizing/cleaning out of the way early on - now it's just a matter of maintaining. I think we'll bring in a housekeeper in January every few weeks so I don't have to clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1265464 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 13:28:19 +0000 Vegmama 1265464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 35 weeks, and I'm not really nesting. I'm a pretty lazy person though (read: I enjoy sitting on the couch in the evenings), so I wasn't really expecting to get a crazy nesting instinct. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1264428 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 00:29:12 +0000 Ree723 1264428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been nesting since the first trimester exhaustion went away! I reorganised all of LO's baby stuff and have everything organised into crates, all clearly labelled and just ready to be pulled out - 'pre-baby' (stuff to get out before baby arrives), newborn clothes, newborn essentials, 0-3 gender neutral, 0-3 girl, etc.... </p> <p>I'm already a bit anal retentive about the house so that's no different, but I've become little miss crafty as well! I made LO a felt tree with ornaments that were way too elaborate for a 17 month old, am currently working on an insanely intricate stocking for DH, and have already purchased the fabric to make the new baby bunting after I finish the stocking. Nesting is seriously out of control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1264421 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 00:22:14 +0000 lemondrop 1264421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1- never!</p> <p>#2- about every other week. Everything it's bothering me right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1264398 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 00:00:31 +0000 Arden 1264398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Erm... as soon as the morning sickness ended?</p> <p> I painted our bedroom, bought a chest freezer and completely filled it with homemade meals, cleaned and organized my van to the point that the midwife called the whole office out to see it (I had a color coded system of emergency supplies in the back. Everything you could possibly imagine). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1264387 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:52:22 +0000 jaypegs 1264387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My due date is Sunday and I still feel no need to clean or organize anything when I could just be sitting on the couch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1264369 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:31:25 +0000 fussygal 1264369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 24 weeks and it's kicked in the past few weeks! I've been organizing the clothes we have, clearing out clutter and cleaning/organizing all the stuff I've been meaning to get to for months. It feels so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1264366 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:24:59 +0000 Running Elley 1264366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With #2 I was basically insane nesting from 28 weeks on. Crazy insane nesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1264338 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:09:36 +0000 SweetMamaM 1264338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I already am at 29 weeks! Ever since 24 weeks I've had a compulsion to get things sorted though, I think it's just inherently my personality LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1264331 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 23:07:02 +0000 Avabear 1264331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has hit me now, at just 5 weeks ! I have been re organising, sorting cupboards, changing rooms around, all things I wouldnt normally do, I just cant stand mess at the moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1262240 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 12:53:03 +0000 Lindsay05 1262240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 30 weeks I went through all of the baby clothes and tried to get it all organized. I need it to hit me again because our house is chaotic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1262166 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 12:41:44 +0000 yin 1262166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day before I went into labor!

Wishing it would because my house is a wreck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1261698 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 11:22:16 +0000 MapleMoose 1261698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need my house clean and organized all the time so that part didn't really change when I was pregnant. I could tell that I was nesting at 34 weeks when I made a crazy amount of freezer meals in one day to prepare for baby's arrival. I kept talking about making them all week and it was all I could think about. I HAD to do it. Even though I was physically exhausted I got a surge of energy and cooked/prepared all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1261544 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:52:49 +0000 LovelyPlum 1261544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's starting to hit me, I think! I am feeling the need to organize. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1261534 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:51:17 +0000 MrsKoala 1261534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still waiting for the nesting instinct to come in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-nesting-3#post-1255609 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:45:00 +0000 prettylizy 1255609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I'm almost 26 weeks and this weekend I got the crazy cleaning bug! I re-organized our entire office downstairs and every time I walk by it makes me happy to see everything in it's new place. Nesting already? When did you start? </p>
