they think I'm a crazy nester!
Anyone a little crazy about having everything done and ready?? I'm only 34 weeks and feel like everything has to be bought, cleaned, packed, and ready to go! My family thinks I'm going a little crazy over it. They keep telling me "oh...you don't NEED a swing yet." or "you don't NEED a babygate yet." These drive me crazy when I hear them! I know I don't NEED them...but I want to make sure we have everything (and I mean everything) we will need even if we won't use it right away when she arrives! Wish I could deep clean the house or something else...but too swollen and carpal tunnel is preventing that from getting done (which is also driving me crazy-er!) Anyone else a crazy nester???

Re: they think I'm a crazy nester!
A lot of my baby stuff is on hold because the furniture hasn't arrived yet, but so far this week I have washed all the stuff I do have and set up both the PNP & bouncer.
I also HAD to reorganize our Christmas decorations... hormones much?
Ha, this! I'm dying for a deep cleaned, sparkling house. Do I want to do it? No way! Finishing up baby stuff, decorating nursery, shopping for clothes, getting what we still need off the registry list I'm on board with and eager to work on, but not the cleaning.
I told MH last night that his offer to hire someone to do a thorough housecleaning this weekend was the sweetest thing he's ever said to me
YES and i have been for weeks!!! This is my first week off of work and so I actually have time to get it done (cleaning the house) as far as getting the nursery done......that is driving me nuts!!! I am having a shower this weekend and I already know that I am getting a dresser, changing table, and bassinet. I want the dresser so bad so I can organize her clothes and other things but I am so happy that the time is finaly here! As of monday I will be getting her room DONE!!!
this makes me VERY VERY HAPPY!! hope you get your all situated to.....and your not crazy AT ALL we just want to be prepared 
I didn't have motivation, but knew it needed to be done. Once I got started, I went crazy. Our house is CLEAN! There's still a lot of "nesting" stuff to do, but at least the deep cleaning part is taken care of

You and me both! I have seriously been nesting since we found out the sex. Some nights I can't even sleep thinking of things that I have to get done! I have already redone my whole house. I have painted everything not only walls, I mean everything (cabinets, made a headboard, painted the swing outside, trim) reorganized everything 1000 times, I have developed a new cleaning routine I do everynight. I have a basket full of things I will need to diaper her in the livingroom, her laundry has been done for weeks, her changing table is full of supplies and ready to go. It's completely ridiculous but I feel like if I don't do it I will lose my mind.
