no nesting instinct

EBathory997Wed74688

I am reading all the posts of people with extreme nesting instincts and I am not even remotely inclined to clean my entire house unnecessarily.  It's been too hot and I have had such a lack of energy after work that I haven't even felt like doing the few necessary things that I need to do. I also do not want to do it all by myself so I need my husband to help. Anyone else in the same boat?

I haven't had any extreme urges to clean my entire house from top to bottom yet. I did decide to hire a company to come do a deep cleaning next week because I got a great coupon through the Groupon website recently. I get tired pretty easily now and DH helps me out a lot but I just haven't had the motivation to clean the whole house at once time, so I'm really looking forward to the cleaning crew coming!

I'm sitting here on the nest with a growing list of stuff to do and I don't really want to get out of my chair let alone clean something.

no cleaning instinct here either.... I am , however, getting a little anxious with all the clutter... but we still have time (I hope!)

I thought that nesting thing was like a few days before labor ? must be different from person to person.

I nest off and on throughout. I nested 2 months ago, a month ago, and 2 weeks ago. I am waiting for that last burst lol

DH said I did have the nesting instinct especially last week but it felt normal to me. It was when I decided to reorganize our pantry and categorize stuff in there, like canned veggies separate from canned fruits, baking stuff, vs all things pasta, etc. I just figured when people come to help when LO is here then it will be easier for them to find stuff. I also labeled and organized the LO's room for 2 days. I labeled each drawers and compartments and what they contain. I'm not sure to call that nesting or something I really had to do to prepare for the baby. Or is that what essentially nesting is?

Other than that, I keep the house tidy but nothing is sparkling clean. I had that one urge to clean scrub the kitchen clean early this 3rd trimester but that's because I thought the counters needed the scrubbing.

I WANT to nest and get stuff cleaned and organized, but I'm too tired and in pain too much to do a lot of what I want to do. I have done some nesting type things though.

I didn't have a nesting instinct at all with my first two pregnancies. You aren't alone!

I'm due in 4 days and haven't experienced any nesting instincts whatsoever.  Everything is done but that's because it has to be done and because I have a husband who does all the cleaning...it has nothing to do with me having an overwhelming urge to scrub and organize!

It's not something everyone has so don't worry....
