Anti-nesting?

SO I keep hearing about how this 'nesting' thing is supposed to kick in right about now. I'm pretty sure this is the opposite of what is happening to me. I just keep making a list, longer and longer, of things that need doing before LO arrives. And then, I keep not doing them. 

Don't get me wrong, we're pretty much ready, for the most part. I just have absolutely no drive to do anything but sleep.

Anyone else?

Re: Anti-nesting?

  • Yes! My level of apathy is reaching epic levels. I am not even really doing my basic house work anymore... much less anything on the to-do baby list.

  • I clean EVERYDAY so I don't really know what is nesting and what is just annoyance with regular dirt! I haven't felt any 'urges' per say....

    Yeah, this is me.  Well, I don't do a thorough cleaning every day, but I can't sleep if the house is messy.  I've been doing more organizing lately, just because I know I'll be busy with a newborn and I want to make life easier for myself when she's here.  So... It's really more a matter of being productive now so I can get away with being lazy later. Stick out tongue

  • Well according to one of the articles on TB, nesting may not kick in until 48-72 hours before birth, so there is still hope!  You will just be a mad woman for the few days before LO arrives, so keep that list within reach, you will need it!

  • Me too. The nursery is done, the house is clean.  I'm not sure what else I need to do, nor do I have the desire to scrub every corner clean or make a million freezer meals.  I just want to hibernate until labor pains wake me up! haha.

  • I'm almost a career nester and I've been lying around playing solitaire and watching netflix lately. I've had to make myself get up and do stuff over the last few days only because our home visit is Wednesday and I have to.

  • I have no motivation to do stuff that really needs to be done, but I spent an hour last night washing the walls and door frames where my dogs like to rub their dirty selves as they walk by.

    Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
  • I am alternating between painting everything not bolted to the floor and laying in bed sleeping. Today I just got out of bed and showered 20 minutes ago! I've been trying to work but have no motivation so instead I have been watching reruns of 90210 and snoozing. Have to pick up the kids from school in an hour so trying to take advantage of the downtime I guess.

  • I'm not nesting either. I clean/pick up the house frequently, but I definitely haven't been doing anything crazy and probably even less than I usually do. I plan to cook some freezer meals....but ugh. I just don't wanna! My last day of work is Thursday so maybe after that I'll be more into it...

  • I'm the SAME way! I have ZERO motivation to do anything but sit on my butt and eat ice cream! I hope it kicks in soon, because I really need to get my house spotless before LO comes!!!

  • I have NO motivation to do much of anything besides sleep and lay around relaxing when I have the time. And it's not like I don't have stuff to do. I'm moving right after birth and my mom is coming this weekend to help me pack...might be a good idea to start doing something....I probably wont. Every weekend I have been at my SO's the motivation to do something with the nursery is low. I'm lucky we got it painted. Right now its painted, but the ceiling needs touch ups since we went a little crazy with the roller and the closet needs to be painted plus a new shelving unit installed. Yup, the nursery is probably going to look the same way it currently does when I move in after the baby arrives. Good thing we are planning on him sleeping in our room for awhile. Oh then I have school work on top of that which I always wait to the last minute to do before class that day. I'm so ready for this baby to come and I no longer feel overwhelmed but that is probably bc I just don't care any longer about having everything perfect before he gets here, bc it probably wont but I am sure my life will not be as relaxing due to the slacking I am doing at the moment.
  • I thought I was the only one.  I get jealous when I see how much other mommies have finished!  With this being my first I would have thought I would have so much more complete.  I seem to always like to work under pressure and I worry the nesting will not kick in until my water breaks!  Embarrassed

    ha!  This is what I do.  I have two slobbery dogs and I've been washing the walls, dishwasher, refrigerator - anything their slobber has managed to paste itself to.  But getting the rest of the packaging out of the nursery and finishing what needs to be done?  Nah...

  • I was right there with you until about 2 days ago. Then, over the weekend, I had this weird compulsion to clean everything I could see. EVen if it was just tidying, I couldn't stand to see things out of place. Weird, I know but hopefully it will kick in for you too!!

  • Wish I would have seen this post before I posted my lack of motivation post. I'm so lazyyyyy and tired all the time. The nursery doesn't have a single piece of furniture in it, every room needs vacuumed, the kitchen needs a good cleaning, so does the dining room and living room...so much to be done. I have it all on a to-do list, but I have sleepy baby doll eyes and my body is tired and I just woke up. People keep telling me to enjoy this time now because we won't be able to be lazy for much longer...I wish I could have a couple shots of espresso.

    glad to hear I am not the only one!  I wish there was a way to add a cleaning service to our baby registry.
