No Nesting....

xraychick07 · October 2011

Ummm.... does anyone else absolutely not give a crap about getting up and cleaning like a mad woman? I keep waiting for this "nesting" to kick in and I just really am a lazy sack of crap. I would much rather lay on the couch then do anything else, including finishing up my little girls nursery. Oh well....

I have absolutely no motivation whatsoever. I can barely get my kitchen cleaned up without being completely drained of energy. It took me an entire week to clean my house because I could only do one room at a time. Luckily I managed to get the nursery put together before I hit this no energy streak.

I am SO glad I'm not the only one! If I could sleep 23 hours a day, I would be the happiest pregnant woman ever.

There are several dust bunnies under the desk that I am bumping from. I'm cool with it. I'm with the other posters that I am just so flippen tired all the time that cleaning is just not something I care to do.

I don't know when it kicked in with DD1 but I think it was pretty late in the game so there is still hope.

Some women don't go through the "nesting" phase, so don't beat yourself up

OTOH, you're only 34 weeks....there are still 6 weeks left for it to kick in.

Talk about NO motivation: I have to re-pack up and move my entire house during the month of Nov (possibly into DEC...so close to my due date Crying )....

We just moved this year into an apt (when I first found out I was pregnant!) and I had ALMOST everything unpacked...then and my hubby decided he wanted to move to a bigger place before baby comes. He is DETERMINED to be out by the end of Nov......do I have motivation to pack up, move and unpack a whole house at 8-9 mo. pregnant....HELL. NO. Like you, I don't even feel that "nesting" urge to get baby stuff ready yet!!! And he expects me to wanna pack/move every day after work and weekends for this entire month (with a baby shower and thanksgiving coming)...

Every time he brings it up I get upset....I know it's better for us to have more space with a baby n'all...but is this REALLY the best timing? Sad
I have this overwhelming feeling that I'll be exhausted, living out of boxes over Xmas.....with a newborn Crying

Okay sorry for all that....thanks for letting me vent!! I can't bring myself to say that to my hubby cuz he's working so hard to get this house ready (needed TOTAL rennovations...far from done STILL)....but I'm still hating the idea.

I am too tired to clean. I hired a housekeeper a while ago and it is such a help.

I'm totally the opposite - I LOVE to clean and organize and I am one HELL of a packer (I've moved more times in my life than I can count). Except I don't have a nursery or even my own place to get OCD on. If I lived anywhere near you, I would come over and help you clean, organize and decorate your whole house!

Sometimes it can feel overwhelming, though. I think if you think about it too much it gets intimidating. What I do when I feel like that is just tackle one small thing at a time. Like just clean out 1 drawer or cabinet today. That's it. I find that once I get started, it gets easier as I go. I also light scented candles or incense and play music and that helps, too. If you have a ton of crap that you don't want/need or trash, just set up boxes ahead of time for donations or trash and sort as you go.

My "nesting" is off and on. Some days I don't do anything, others I want to clean and just don't and then there are days that I have to clean something and if I get one room done I am happy to do nothing again. :]

I would hire you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <33

Thanks for the great tips though!!!!!?
I think I'm just having a mini-panic attack because it seems like such a daunting task this late in pregnancy...no nursery set up (house not even finished)...and with holidays and other events coming....I already feel busy enough!

*deep breath*....I can do this...one drawer at a time like you said Wink

So jealous!!

I have no motivation to clean either. My DH was out of town this past weekend, and I had every intention of doing some major cleaning and straightening up. Did I do it? NOT ONE THING!! I slept, went to a movie, slept some more, bumped, slept... you get the point.

I'm waiting for the "nesting" to kick in too.

I was totally thinking the SAME thing. I rather sit here & eat my oreos. LOL

I have no urge to clean whatsoever.. Usually, my house is spotless, even with a son and husband, and 2 labs. Now, I couldn't give a crap less. I do the dishes and basic pick up.. I make sure we have clean clothes and towels.. but as far as deep cleaning, I don't give a toot. This is 100% opposite of how I am normally.

Luckly, my husband doesn't care.. he will pick up the toys and stuff at night for me, and help with the things I ask him to. The baby's room is done, but we are having my shower here next weekend and I am not looking forward to cleaning my house top to bottom... but atleast it will be done!!

silivren · October 2011

I'm desperately waiting for the nesting to kick in. Right now I'm too tired - and half the time I just can't breathe so I can't do anything! I can't even knit anymore because I can't breathe when I sit. I struggle to do my job every day and that's about all I have energy for right now

wintersnight20 · October 2011

Ugh I wish I was a little lazier to be honest with you ladies. I'm an OBSESSIVE housecleaner. I am absolutely exhausted all the time but the thought that someone might see a dirty dish in my sink or that laundry might not be done throws me into a state of panic x.x;; I better learn how to chill out before LO gets here or I'll seriously never sleep again...not that I'm sleeping now.

kyrastapp · October 2011

I hit the no energy thing about a week ago. Before this I was cleaning like a mad women. Now I'm lucky if I get the everyday things done in less than a day lol. Laundry is really the only thing I enjoy right now because I can sit and fold most of it haha!
