Nesting

29 weeks today. Haven't bought anything or wanted to do anything until this week. Literally dreamed about organizing baby's closet Tuesday. Since then, all I have done is work on the nursery. Picked out paint and decided on a theme. A friend said she had been waiting on that to hit, and brought me a secondhand dresser/changing table combo to refinish, and literally 15 boxes of baby stuff left from her son. I'm washing walls in the nursery to paint, and have been washing all clothes. Shelving is up in the closet, and organizing like a crazy person.
Am I the only one who just got hit by it all the sudden?My husband is sure I have lost my mind....

Re: Nesting

  • I'm 26 weeks today and it's just hit. I feel the need to drag out everything and get rid of the stuff we don't need. I want to set up everything in the garage and put out a sign that says FREE!!! We have way too much stuff.

  • I am 27 weeks and change and had the urge earlier in the week. We have our Baby Shower on Sunday, so knowing that we are going to have a ton of stuff coming in to the room pushed me to really get it organized before the influx of new stuff coming in!
  • I am 27 weeks and while I have had major house project "nesting" for a few months now (A seriously insatiable urge to do all of these major projects my husband and I have been talking about since buying our 100 year old home 3 years ago), I did not have any urge to do any baby related projects until this past week.  I have bought nothing for the baby up until this past week.  I am all about the nursery now and am excited that I will be spending all weekend painting.  I don't even want to wait until my shower to buy anything that belongs in the nursery (like the crib) because I just want it all done... NOW!!!   Nesting is a bizarre but productive thing.. I hope this sticks around after the  baby is born and I am sure that my husband does too, he has always been a nester, but prior to my pregnancy, I liked my downtime and relaxation after a hard week at work.
  • I'm 27 weeks and I started last week. I think I might be drinking my SO crazy with all the "my projects" I've started and then needed his need to finish. Our shower is in two weeks at our house so things we have been pushing off we are finally doing. I've painted the front and patio doors, cleaned out closets and storage areas and spring cleaned my entire bedroom. I may have created a monster because last night out of no where my SO decided to rip out the carpet in our dinning room and living room. We have talked about possibly replacing it before baby but we also have plans to build a addition next spring and wait till then. Looks like we are shopping for flooring tonight!
