I am fighting off the urge to Nest

Mobile: I am fighting off the urge to Nest

 

It's killing me! I never had the nesting instinct with DS.  I was on sbr with him from 30-36 weeks with him due to high bp and low fluid.  Right now, I'm seriously fighting off the urge to go clean things.  Our house is clean. DH has done a great job keeping things in order and clean (not the way I would clean, but you guys know how that goes!)

When I took a shower, I wiped down the counter, mirror and did a quick toilet cleaning.  Felt a little better.  I also just folded laundry in bed. I want to use the vacuum dang it! 

 

How are you fighting off the urge to nest?

It is a strong urge to fight off! Once in a while I wipe down a counter or something. I sit in the glider in the nursery while others do things. It sucks but it's all I should be doing.

Well, that makes things easier! It was easy to resist the urge while I was in the hospital, too.  Except, when they'd let me go to the bathroom I'd pick up blankets or throw things away that DH had left out...

Haha me too! I reorganize all my stuff and what not. I hate feeling so helpless

So sorry! How long have you been in the hospital? Do they have a clue how long you'll have to stay?

Isn't it awful? I've got 5 more weeks until I'm off bed rest and its KILLING me. We have nothing done for the baby and I want to clean all the things. It's obviously better than a preemie but yeah, it sucks.

I have 2 more weeks left. My OB says that at 36 weeks I can be off all restrictions (woot!) We're going to have a ton to do.  My DH has been doing so much with just taking care of the house and DS before and after work.  I'm so ready to be a mom again! and seriously...I'm going to SCRUB some shiz.

Ugh. I know how you feel. We just got back from a three week vacation and I was immediately put on modified bed rest. I want so badly to have just one good day to clean and put things away. I would even love to vacuum and I hate vacuuming. I also have not done a thing for the nursery.

I have been making tons of lists. I have lots of paperwork type things that I can do and phone calls I can make so that helps satisfy my need to do something. Maybe you can do some online baby or Christmas shopping?
