  i enjoyed washing all of our new cloth diapers and getting the the baby's crib and bassinet ready. but i was not a "cleaning" nester ... until i found out my dog had fleas and i have done more washing, mopping and vacuuming in the last week than i have ever done in my life. it is not fun. all i want to do is sit on my a** and i am cleaning this house like it has never been cleaned before (at least not all at the same time). I say enjoy your last few days/weeks of not having much to do.

  I actuallly had a lot of fun doing the prewashes for our prefolds, but I can't get into the groove with the baby laundry.  I think it's because I'm worried that even though I separated them based on colours, they'll still all run and get ruined.

  Mom, why are you washing my feed in the sink?!

  i was worried about the colors running too, but i just threw everything in together and washed in cold water & nothing ran.

  I'm in exactly the same position!

  I wish I felt like nesting... instead, I called DH and asked if he could please vacuum when he gets home

  I haven't been nesting...and boy do I need it.  I keep saying its b/c I have a BIG exam this weekend and I've been studying my butt off for it.  But who knows....I do have the SLEEP instinct!!! Holy cow....I can sleep 12 hours if you let me.

  I still haven't had the nesting instinct. My DH stole it from me. Which is perfectly fine with me.

  He cleaned the apartment from top to bottom. Not only did he organize the baby's dresser by size and colour, he organized *our* closet by size and colour. Even then, he organized my bottoms (skirts, pants, capris, etc) by length. 

  The kitchen is spotless, the balcony doesn't have a grain of dirt on it, he vacuums daily. Even our CD wall (x2) has been alphabetized (he actually freaked out because he couldn't decide whether to alphabetize by artist or album, colour coordinate, or organize by year).

  It's actually kinda cute.

  I don't think I've been more jealous in my entire life than I am now.

  I have gotten the nesting bug big time.  I am enjoying it but of course now I can't anything heavy and that is what I want to do.  I need to clean my garage again and get stuff out of it.  I want/need to shampoo my carpet and a whole bunch of stuff.  Hope I get a lot more done.

  My DH has been nesting, too. Stripped the bed and washed everything including the duvet cover, pillow shams, and mattress protector. Making sure we have "quick" meals in the freezer, and going nuts on home security (switching to extra large strike plates in the doors, changing the deadbolt on the back door etc).

  I like it, I just wish I could join him... 

  Well, I just threw a load of laundry in - that's something...

  Well, it began as every woman's dream, but then he got to snapping at me if i moved a pen to the other side of the table, or if i moved a fridge magnet out of place, or forgot to put my toothbrush back on the toothbrush holder "properly", bahaha. He's never like this, he's just as much of a slob as I am, this only started maybe 2 weeks ago.  

  Just watch, as soon as the kid's born, the whole apartment is just gonna collapse on itself, bwahaha.
