Nesting, nesting, nesting!

Since 6:00am I've cleaned the kitchen top to bottom, sorted through and organized all the girls' toys (keep, throw, give away, etc), washed all the linens, sorted through the pile of mail/bills, gone through the piles of magazines lying around (there were LOTS throughout the house), and cleaned our mudroom.  I am just hoping to keep up the momentum so I can get a few more rooms organized before I pass out this afternoon!

Anyone else nesting this weekend?

Re: Nesting, nesting, nesting!

  • My nesting has taken the form of baking and freezing.  I made a double batch of chive garden rolls to freeze and some honey whole wheat bread and sour cream coffee cakes to freeze and treats to give to the neighbor as a thank you for looking after our dog when we go to hospital.  I just have this great need to be baking.

  • I am with you, I keep finding more things to clean, but keep thinking, am I going to regret this tomorrow? I wonder how sore I will be!
  • I did this the other day! It feels SO GOOD to have everything organized/cleaned/put together, and to know that we're ready when he is.

  • Same here, it's usually my Sunday morning thing but I was at it early this morning. That's usually when I fuss at DH for everything that I find of his that's out of place. He's NO help at all!

  • Yup, woke up at 6:30am with a burst of energy yesterday...started decluttering and super cleaning our bedroom...thankfully dh took note and helped without me asking. Baby will be staying in our room for awhile since I will be nursing and we've done nothing with his/her room. 

     did not wake up with the same energy today :(

  • I am having the strongest urge to nest but I am on bed rest and am not allowed so it is driving me craaaazy. I gave in last weekend and swept, mopped, and cleaned the whole kitchen because I just HAD to and figured if I took breaks it would be okay (silly). After that though I took my blood pressure and it was really high and then I felt horrible for giving in. No more nesting for me! :(

  • Me, but not sure if its actually nesting or nerves because my MIL keeps threatening to come over lol. 

     Yesterday I completely cleaned the kitchen, Mathieu's room, both bathrooms, and our living room top to bottom. Then today I have scrubbed walls (thanks to a toddler who has a wicked arm and a dog that loves to play with a tennis ball), washed baseboards and windows, completely detailed the inside of my DF's car, and installed both carseats. 

    I'm soo completely exhausted.

  • I've all but run out of energy this weekend, but I'm still getting myself in the kitchen long enough to make a couple dozen bagels to freeze for breakfasts/snacks when LO is here and I'm starving at 4am.

    My freezer is stocked with meals, fruit for smoothies, bread and cookie dough. I'm trying not to wear myself out too much, because labor could start at anytime and then I won't have the stamina I need. DH has been encouraging me to get more rest lately, so I'm taking his advice :)
