Manic Nesting

SarahCColorado29

This is my second pregnancy, and I didn't experience nesting the first time. But this time... Woah! I thought it would be this awesome side effect of pregnancy. Energy to clean everything, sounds amazing right? Well, it was for the first few days. But now it is all I think about. It is like the my cells are bursting with the need to organize and clean. My back hurts, and I am exhausted, but it is like I can't stop. It's this uncontrollable compulsion.

I realize that everyone experiences these things on a different scale, I was just wondering if anyone else was having the same experience as me. Did it last long?

I feel your pain! Friday scrubbed the inside of my fridge and freezer, yesterday it was all of our bathrooms, today it was the stove, microwave and everything else I could find in the kitchen .....

I'm too tired to even care and I'm hungry and I took a nap today so I can't sleep.

I go in spurts. A couple weeks ago I deep cleaned my guest bath from top to bottom. Polished the light and water fixtures, washed and ironed the shower curtain, scrubbed the baseboards... You name it I did it and I started at 10pm. I've overhauled a few other spaces but sadly 3rd tri fatigue has set in and I am tired after giving my 3.5yr old a bath. Hopefully I can get my butt into gear and finish cleaning out the nursery closet to make room for baby stuff (formally a guestroom).

I few days ago it hit me that all my living and dining room furniture was in the wrong place. It's all completely rearranged and now I feel so much better :-).

Definitely nesting! It stinks because I'm really supposed to be taking it easy with some bleeding issues. However, all I can see are things that need to be cleaned! My big shower is this weekend and I think my major concern is that I don't want to bring home all of her things to a "messy" house. I am also overly concerned about dog hair. Like obsessed with getting rid of it.

I have been nesting since month 6 currently in 8 I'm supposed to be on full bed rest which is the problem but there's so many things that need to be done

28 weeks today with twin boys and I have been nesting like crazy. Organizing everything! I sorted through junk and put some up on the local mom buy/sell pages and have made over $200!! I wish this nesting thing happened all the time lol

Mine lasted about three weeks. Now I still have the urge to clean and organize, but the urge is suppressed by my preference to rest.

I have so much motivation to declutter my house (and the clutter isn't even that bad), but my energy level has suddenly declined and won't let me do it.

I'm like this with my bedroom furniture. I can't move it all though and I need DH's help. It's driving me crazy because we never have time without DD to really spend in there moving things. My MIL has requested they "get" DD over March Break so I think I will have to wait at least that long before any moving/organizing happens in there.

I had a snow day today because my road wasn't plowed until well after noon, so I couldn't go in. My nesting kicked in a little bit today. Shower/Bathtub and toilet are a whole lot cleaning with a deep clean and scrubbing!

I have a whole house you can scrub if you run out of rooms in yours lol.. I've been so tired the last couple weeks I just do that half-ass clean where unless you really pay attention my house looks spotless
