I never did with DD1, and I still have zero motivation to get anything done for DD2.

Not really. I had DH paint a shelf and assemble a dresser but maybe if sorting clothes counts?

Sort of. The cleaning bug bit me about two weeks ago, and DH accused me of cleaning/purging anything that wasn't nailed to the walls. But now, I'm not there again. We're moving in a few weeks, so I fully anticipate that the nesting bug will bite me again once it gets closer!

Nope! My husband did though, he was a cleaning fool the last fee weeks of my pregnancy!

Yep, but so far not really for cleaning, unless you count the dishes. I HATE doing dishes, but since I've been pregnant I can't stand to have the them sitting out overnight.
Most of my nesting has been geared at decorating her room. Getting her nursery put together was on my mind all.the.time until we cleared out the guest bedroom, which for various reasons took until 30 weeks. We knocked it all out in a weekend and it felt so good. Now we just have a few finishing touches to go!

Not at all with C, somewhat with this one- but it's on and off when I feel good.

I have all the motivation just need DH to paint the nursery and put the crib together for me! So that I can finish. I've also been trying to organize things and cleaning things I don't usually clean...like the microwave

Not at all but like @yoursilverlining my husband did the first time! We had just moved, so when I told him I was having contractions he ran around unpacking boxes like a madman! Um, remember our couples relaxation exercises, honey?

Well we moved at 35 weeks so I was in a hurry to get her room done and the rest of the house organized at least!

we bought a house at the beginning of the 2nd tri. i have been getting rid of stuff as we unpack (i was so sick that DH & MIL did most of the packing) and obsessively cleaning our new kitchen. i don't know how much of that is pregnancy related or how much is just because we finally have a place that we paid for so i'm extra motivated to keep it nice and clutter free!

I didn't realize it until after I have birth, but I did. You make it, I cleaned it. Literally from floor to ceiling.

Not at all. I got everything ready at 20 weeks for whenever she came (carseat installed at fire station, crib set up) but it was just the necessities. I hurt too much to clean! Plus a nurse scared me by telling me not to nest because then the baby would come (smiley face because it is funny now how irrational that is/ sounds -to me- now, but hey I was vulnerable and pregnant and being seen for a bladder infection that had the potential to lead to preterm labor). But I was so so sore. Even doing dishes hurt to lean over. Doing anything hurt!

Yep, but it's been necessary to reorganize a ton to make enough space in other parts of our apt since we're turning what was my office into a nursery

With DS I had to have his nursery completely done and then I cleaned and cleaned - I actually cleaned for a couple hours after my water broke too!
With this pregnancy I'm just so tired that I haven't done much. I guess I know more what to expect and know babies really don't need all that much. I would like to get her room done just so I don't have to worry about it later.

I've had spurts of nesting. I have impulses to set up the pnp and other things but I know I have several weeks before I really need to do it.

With C I went a little crazy towards the end keeping the house clean and cooking and freezing lots of food. I never did get the bug to decorate and set up an awesome nursery though. In fact, his room is still pretty boring and basic but I figure as he gets older will set it up into something he'll really enjoy.
With this pregnancy, it's still early yet at almost 18 weeks, but I really hope that I once again get the urge to cook at the end. It was so nice having meals ready to go in the freezer. So here's hoping!

Sort of? We were in a one bedroom, so I couldn't focus on a nursery or anything. But in the last week or so, I definitely felt an urge to clean. I remember being 39 weeks and scrubbing the tub awkwardly, ha.

Yes! My DH yelled at me for standing on a chair trying to scrub walls!
