When did you start nesting?

rkrichey · July 2011

I'm 30w2d and was just wondering when to expect the nesting to begin. Usually I'm a big nester, especially when we move to a new house or something but I just haven't really had the urge to nest yet. I've had two miscarriages and I think I'm still just a little nervous that something could go wrong (although both of those losses were before 12 weeks and I think I'm mostly in the clear for this one). Anyway, those thoughts still linger in the back of my mind and I think they're keeping me from getting ready for this little guy. Or maybe it's just that I'm too tired to do anything but sit around the house when I have a day off from work. lol

I had DS 3 weeks early (at 37 weeks) and I didn't start to REALLY "nest" until I was 36wks4days!! LOL

I think it's kicking in for me. I've been doing crazy loads of laundry and other various organizing/decorating activities that I'm woefully behind on in preparation for Abby's arrival. I've had way more energy the last couple of days - totally out of the clear blue.

My just kicked in at 36 weeks and 4 days. Last night I went laundry and organizing crazy! My husband just kept trying to get me to sit down and asking me if I was okay. It was very funny!. At 30 weeks I hit a wall and was very tired, you probably have some time before the nesting kicks in!

I'm 30 weeks and it's just starting to kick in. It's funny because I literally want to organize EVERYTHING! It's kind of good because i'm getting rid of so many things without even thinking twice about it! LOL!
It's getting harder to move around though!

It's starting to kick in for me. In my case it's mostly because my brain finally clicked that she could be here any day, and be home from the hospital 24 hours later. I keep looking around and going "what am I going to want to do while in labor?" and trying to get it done now. Mostly it's stupid stuff like make sure laundry is done, dishwasher loaded, stuff like that.

Oh, and my nesting has also apparently taken the form of sewing. I always liked sewing in theory and have a closet filled with pretty fabrics that I never did anything with. I've now made 10 elaborate burp cloths, 6 blankets, 5 pillow cases and am working on some diy slings.

Nesting? What is that? Of course, I'm kidding...

I'm 39 weeks and the urge to nest has kicked in but not the energy to do it.

Two hours ago.

I'm five days past my due date, and I seriously thought I was just not going to get the bug. My husband's been in the cleaning mode, so he was really picking up my slack while I was feeling huge and tired. We went to the thrift store this afternoon, and I raided the sock bin. Folding them and putting them away did it to me! They were so cute and tiny, I just had to play with baby's stuff and get things more ready.

I went CRAZY at 36 weeks. Lasted until about 38. Now I'm just keeping things clean, but it's not as obsessive as it was before. I'm glad that feeling has passed- it was very intense.

I am at 35 weeks and nesting just kick in for me this past weekend at 34 1/2 weeks! Over the July 4th weekend I literally cleaned every room in my house, wash/fold all of babie's clothes, blankets and sheets and I even scrub the carpets stains that were visible in sight! My place is spotless clean and organized now.
