I was stricken with this urge last night... tinged with panic... I didn't clean the house this past weekend, because I have been so uncomfortable with baby sitting head down so low, and short of breath and easily overheated. So now the floors and couch are gross with pet hair and stuff is cluttered. And I was drifting off to sleep thinking how I'm full term on Sunday and baby can come anytime, fine with me, and then all of a sudden I was like, NO! THE HOUSE IS SOOOO DIRTY!

I still need to clean out my car (I have tons of crap in the backseat, not at all baby safe), get the car seat inspected, do a couple of more loads of baby laundry, and, of course clean the house -- and KEEP it clean -- before I feel truly prepared to have this baby (oh yeah and pack my hospital bags), and while I have the mental drive for it all of a sudden, the physical drive is nil.

I hear these stories of women scrubbing out kitchen cabinets and baseboards at 39 weeks, and I'm like... HOW?!

Did you nest? Did you get a mental urge and just do your best to overcome the physical pain? Did the physical pain subside in your need to get things CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN? Or did you just say, ehhh, nevermind?

Inquiring minds want to know!
