Nope! I was a lazy very pregnant lady! I wanted to do a whole lotta nothing! lol

Nope! I had to force myself to get stuff done in the nursery and have been a terrible housekeeper since getting pregnant--I'm very thankful for my mother I've been waiting around for this "nesting" thing to kick in. If you ask my husband he'll tell you I have nested plenty cause I gave him a long to-do list, lol.

My nesting seems to take the form of looking at things to buy or decorate the nursery with, rather than things like cleaning, finishing unpacking, etc. Which is too bad, since the kid can certainly come home to an undecorated or non-color coordinated nursery, but it will suck to bring him or her home to unpacked boxes and an uncleaned house.

I created "to do" lists every day and loved checking everything off one by one. I made it my goal to do as many things on my list as possible each day. Yea, I was a little crazy.

I did in a weird, intense way. It was Monday night, my mom was here, and I was cleaning the kitchen. Pretty normal, but then I decided then I decided I just HAD to clean out the Brita Water well-thing. I cleaned out the top part, but then decided that I was somehow going to poison my child if I only cleaned the top instead of the basin as well. Except the top part doesn't like slip out--in the end it took me well over an hour to get the two parts separated, and involved a knife, hot water, cold water, and our freezer.

Meanwhile my mom is sitting at the table laughing at me watching me sit on the floor trying to pry this thing apart and telling me I should leave it and get some sleep. So I yelled at her, which I have never, ever done. I finally got the dang thing apart and deep cleaned it.

I went into labor early the next morning, lol.

Nope, I never got it! I kept waiting for it to come but it didn't.

Yep...during the week before I went into labor I panicked and cleaned the apartment top to bottom.

The week before I went into labor, I did. I was 39 weeks and trying to scrub the bathtub in case I wanted to labor in it. Bending over a tub at that size is not exactly easy...

I cleaned and kept our apartment spick and span starting around 4 or 5 months. I bought everything on our "must have before baby arrives" list by 7 months. And around then I also had all of the newborn and 3 month clothes washed and folded and ready to go in the closet.

I don't refer to this as nesting so much as "there's no way I'll ever have time to get our home this clean once the baby comes so I'm going to get things as clean as possible now". A baby's coming. Stuff needs done.
