Nesting!!

omg! Make it stop! I'm driving my kids and husband crazy! I can't stop cleaning and baking! ... The baking they don't mind ;) I can't seem to get my freezer meals going though! My kids are in fear for their toys , part of the reason I'm trying not to reorganize the hall closet! I LOVE getting rid of things especially when I'm nesting and all of their art stuff and board games are in that closet! I can't help it i have the opposite problem from a hoarder! Am I the only one? Anyone else out there like the get rid of things, maybe a little to much?

Re: Nesting!!

  • No, I'm a hoarder... lol. My sister is like you though... whenever she comes over I clean and organize like crazy cuz I'm afraid of her judgement! :)) I wish I could find some energy to nest. My house is messy, I need to do laundry... sigh. At least I did get some freezer meals made ! Last count I had about 26 suppers stashed away. Not too bad! :-)

  • Pretty much tHe only tHing I am doing is preparing freezer meals. I have made meat loaves, shepherd's pie, some chicken casseroles, homemade spaghetti sauce, cleaned a ton of chicken and frozen it in baggies for the crock pot, made banana muffins, pancakes, and egg/home fries breakfast bowls. I want to make more breakfast bowls since eating one yesterday. I wanted to try it to make sure,it was good.

    You're not alone.  I hate clutter and love getting rid of stuff so the hall closet and spare room were not safe this weekend.   :))  Our garbage men probably hate us.
  • yes can't stand clutter and "stuff". Every time I clean my son's playroom I bring a trash bag and more stuff gets thrown out. It's always like little knick-knack dollar store type stuff but it accumulates and drives me nuts! Thankfully my husband is the same way but can get dangerous when we both start organizing and de cluttering ha

  • Seriously! The freezer meals are way more important than cleaning (since it will all get messed up anyhow) at this point but it just feels like work to cook right now lol and besides baking tastes better!! You ladies are amazing ...and 26 meals! Dang!

    If you guys are all planning on making freezer meals, get on it! I kept putting it off, and then my LO came early... No freezer meals for us now :( Thankfully my parents provided us with food the first week, and our church friends are taking care of our dinners this week.

    But @Gooblin , the week before I had my girl, I was nesting like a mad woman. I am very sentimental and typically have a hard time getting rid of stuff, but that week I purged like crazy! 3 full trash bags of stuff taken to the Goodwill.
  • I've been throwing things out and making freezer meals too. Everyone keeps telling me I need to rest with my feet up but I feel fine and think it will be so worth it. Plus every time I make a freezer meal, I put a serving in a separate container to try so me and my husband know we will like it and we get some dinners out of it now.
  • I can't stop doing laundry and organizing everything I see anywhere. even at work I organize other people's lazy messes. I can't stop assembling baby things and double and triple checking that everything is ready for his arrival. I also can't sleep because I lay in bed wanting to be nesting more things but I have run out of things to clean...... was up till 4am last night laying in bed having the urge to organize more shit. I'm officially psycho

    I can hardly make dinner for now, never mind freezer meals for the future... guess I'll cross that future dinner bridge when I come to it...
  • Im just waiting for that nesting instinct to kick in...
  • Hey guys, just over here at 39 weeks waiting for that infamous nesting to kick in!
  • You are not the only one. I've gotten rid of soooo many toys and art projects. Feels so good. :) I can't wait to find out if this baby is a girl or boy so I can start getting rid of clothes!!

  • I am so quick to throw something out, i hate clutter!
  • I keep making freezer meals but they are lunch meal prep for me and DH for the week. How is it yesterday I got on a roll and made 10 servings of chicken with veggies and rice or sweet potatoes but cant make one freezer meal for when LO is here!?

    Can you come to my house and do laundry?! Lol I hate doing laundry soooo much! :(( It's clean but piled everywhere in my bedroom because I hate putting it away....
  • I am the same way with my kid's stuff. I actually bought them bedside tables with drawers. That is their special spot for all there little knick knacks because if it ends up anywhere else I Chuck it. I hate the clutter knick knacks clutter! I also go through those drawers but try to restrain it to every couple of months and try to only throw away stuff I know they won't miss or notice. I haven't been too bad while pregnant but we keep their toys so organized and decluttered I don't really need too. Now their clothes and trying to get everyone set for fall before baby is driving me insane!

  • There's nothing left for me to clean/organize in my house. My feet and body will be killing me, but I just can't stop! I practically MAKE messes just so I can clean them up! And I apparently hold zero sentimental value for "stuff", because I have no problem throwing pretty much anything away if I think it even remotely resembles clutter....

    And I LOOOVE doing and folding laundry!!!!!❤️
  • I've gone into major nesting mode these past few weeks. I'm actually driving myself crazy. I started hundreds of projects that I've been wanting to do since we moved into our house in November but didn't have the energy to do. I've painted my kitchen table and chairs, dining room table and chairs, a coffee table, a side table, and done a bunch of NPR things. I've been doing the laundry as soon as there is enough for a small load and I've mopped the floors every day. DH has no clue what's going on. He has been coming home from work (I normally give him a couple things to do to help me out around the house) without anything to clean up. I know this won't last once LO is here but I sure am enjoying sitting on the couch with a spotless house for now.

    I have been slacking on the freezer meals, though. Luckily my mom and grandma both live 15 minutes away and are excellent cooks. They will make sure we don't starve to death after our little guy is born.
  • I'm finally nesting again! I'm wanting to scrub everything but I don't have Clorox wipes and my boyfriend has the car, so I'm mopping, sweeping, washing dishes, doing laundry and I cleaned my room set up the baby's crib (put sheets on and wiped it down). Next I'm thinking of scrubbing the toilets. I'm also having some contractions but they're nothing time able so I'm chalking it up to Braxton hicks.
