No energy, Nesting gone, Emotional wreck... long vent

laken256

I've been hardcore nesting since around 20 weeks, and have been super crazy with cleaning the house daily. Even when I don't feel like it, I end up doing everything anyway before I sit down to Breakfast bc otherwise, it annoys me to no end. I've been doing really great recently with energy... And my emotions haven't been super steady, but not too crazy.

Well, all of that changed today! I haven't really touched the house, and I just don't care. There's laundry that needs done, some dishes that need to be put up, and I always clean the animals' crates each and every day, I have slept, and cuddled with DS1 and sat on the couch like a sloth all day long, and I haven't cared in the least that the house needs done...

As soon as DH walked through the door from work, I freaked out over something stupid and blindly cried and had a stupid tantrum, to the point of eating my supper in the kitchen floor. I'm so ridiculous right now that I'm getting on my own nerves. Dr. set my induction date yesterday for next Friday (Dec 2). So, now I have a little over a week left and have went into 'who cares' mode on house cleaning and doing anything, my energy is zapped and I'm a mess... WTH?!

C'mon baby! momma's goin nuts out here... can't wait til this is all over!

Your day sounds like my month! I was hoping the nesting instinct would kick in at least a few weeks before delivery. All I want to do is snuggle with DD when I get home from work and my emotions have been such a roller coaster it's now actually normal for me to cry every day!

I would give yourself a break and enjoy this final time as a family of 3, and rest as much as possible before #2. All the cleaning can wait
