When is all this supposive "nesting" going to kick in?

I hope soon! I feel like I have to stop and take a break after every little tasks.  Last break ended up in a hour long nap. Theres still some things i'd like to do before thursday, im just so exhausted. I call bs on the whole "burst of energy" nesting theory..lol!

Re: When is all this supposive "nesting" going to kick in?

  • I keep thinking the same exact thing.  I feel like with my other two I was a nesting freak.  Wanted to make sure the house was spotless to bring home a baby, etc.  Not this time around.  I keep thinking maybe the nesting will start today:)

  • I'm with you, I think its a load of BS.  Your comment about taking an hour long nap as a break had me cracking up because that's happened to me several times in the last several weeks.  I make a list of things to do every few days and what happens?  I end up napping most of the weekend because I'm too tired to go out.  I still have a few weeks ago so I'm hoping it kicks in soon.
  • I'm not sure I would call it "nesting" but I am VERY paranoid about leaving dishes in the sink overnight (I used to care less) because if I go into labor during the night, the last thing I want to think about is dirty dishes..

  • I am glad my nesting hit me early, because I am so exhausted these days. It is also hard for me to complete tasks and not give up after a hour. Not to mention, I am so sore!

  • My only "nesting" instinct is to make lists of things I wish someone would do since I'm too tired.

     I don't think that counts.

     OMG this is me...my kitchen has to be spotless at all times. Do not want to come home to a dirty kitchen.  This activity is actually what caused said nap today..lol!

    Haha yes. I have a list of things written on a white board in the kitchen that I want to get done. AKA things that I casually remind DH to do. 

    ME TOO!!  Each day when H gets home I nicely ask him to cross one to two things off the board.  It's stuff I physically can't do, but the whole basic cleaning, scrubbing baseboards...yeah, it's not happening.

  • I'm not really into cleaning the house right now but I am all about going grocery shopping! LO #1 has quite an appetite and I am worried that I'll go into labor and there won't be enough bananas for her or something;). It's just way too hot to do much of anything here, and stairs are just daunting to me now so only the basics are getting done. I did wash our sheets....otherwise everything is ready for LO#2.
  • I can't decide if I'm nesting or just disgusted with my genuinely dirty house!  The heat sure is slowing me down, too.  I have the most energy in the morning, though, so I try to take advantage and do the important stuff then.  Then a nap in the afternoon...

  • i have been"nesting" for quite a while now. i have to have everything clean and orginized and if not i will go absolutly crazy untill it is. i had high blood pressure for about a week and the dr's wanted me on bed rest. yea, i couldnt do that but for a few hours becuase i couldnt stand my room and house being the tiniest bit messed up. and now that im getting closer(35 weeks) it just got worse. everyone has told me its the sign that im about to be in labor.( yeah i wish) but i just dont know.
