Did anyone not nest?

Twinkz

The books and everything I've read mention that near the end you get a surge of energy but I was wondering if anyone didn't get this magic burst or get any urge to nest?

My house is a big ol' mess.  Messier than I ever would have let it get pre-pregnancy.  I have tons I need to get accomplished but I honestly can't seem to force myself to do anything.  I've taken a nap every day for the past five days and when I wake up, I don't really wake up energized.  I just wake up tired and annoyed that I didn't sleep longer and really uncomfortable.  In my head I make these lists of things I need to accomplish.  I tell myself I'm going to get things done and then I don't do anything, let alone attack the list of things to do.

I never really nested. Sure, I cleaned the day before going to the hospital for my induction, but I didn't have the motivation to do it and it wasn't a crazy clean. Now, however is a different story. I can't even go into the basement because it bothers me so much. We are having my MIL watch DS for a few hours on Saturday so DH and I can work down there and do some spring cleaning.

I did not nest...I seriously thought I was going to go late and wound (sp?) up giving birth 2 days before my due date. I literally cried about going home after the baby was born because I didn't take care of so much that I wanted to. We have a very hairy dog that sheds so I wanted to clean clean clean and other so many things. My husband kept telling me that the baby is not going to remember any of it. I wouldn't worry about it I agree with my DH now, the baby won't remember any of it. As long as he/she is fed and warm they will be happy.

No nesting here.  I kept saying I had spring break to get things done (not that I had the instinct to, but that was when I was putting it off until), and then the baby came early, so nothing was clean.  DH was not happy with me, especially when my mom came over and cleaned the whole house.

I've been making lists in my head for days, but I've finally started getting around to them the past day or two, particularly today. It may just be because I'm finally off work and have more time, but I'd say this is nesting. So maybe you'll see it in a few days, Twinkz!

No nesting here, but then again we moved when I was 37 weeks along, so all my energy went into that, but even then I had to force myself to do things. One good thing though is moving into a new place everything is pretty much clean so all I have to worry about is laundry.

Nope - didn't nest but I was also induced so I don't know if I would have "nested" had I waited for nature to take its course.

I slept a lot  more and bossed DH around.  I was just a big old fat slob who was tired constantly.

I didn't nest either. However, I think I'm nesting now... I can't seem to stop straightening up and cleaning.

There's no crazy cleaning here.  If my MIL wasn't coming to stay on Friday, I probably wouldn't care at all, but her house is super clean.  I don't want her to be disgusted by my house!  Plus this is day 2 of being home from work and I'm bored, bored, bored.
