Nesting?

Question

Is anyone else nesting?! I keep waiting for the urge and it just hasn’t hit me. I have so much that needs to be done but I am just SO exhausted all the time it’s not happening. The anxiety of not being ready is really getting to me, you’d think that’d be enough to get everything done but I just can’t 😩

Answer

You'll never be ready! There will always be something to do. Enjoy your free time while you can and don't stress!

Answer

My nesting urge was strong for 2 days last week.  Now it's gone and I can't find the energy to even fold and put away the baby clothes I got at my shower last weekend.  I haven't started packing my hospital bag yet,  the nursery is almost ready thanks to my 7 and 9 year olds. They helped me get stuff organized and vacuumed the room before the baby shower. They even organized the diapers, wipes and made the crib all pretty for their sister.

Answer

I had nesting on and off with my last baby but never got that need to beat before I went into labor or anything. I’m almost 34 weeks with my next now and again it’s been here and there, but mostly looking at our entire house and things I want to change that have nothing to do with the baby than cleaning.

Answer

Mine comes and goes but started so early this time around. I think i was 13 weeks and went into crazy cleaning mode at my house. I wish i could push my husband into getting some of that energy though. He made me wait to paint the nursery and its not even halfway finished and I'm 33 weeks.

Answer

It's been kinda so so lately. Some days are worse than others. But this weekend hit me hard. Our stroller finally arrived yesterday and ever since I built it, i cleaned the whole house, finished the baby stuff and finished packing my hospital bag. I don't feel satisfied though. I feel like something is still missing. In my head, I'm running out of time and I NEED this done lol

Answer

I have three dogs , two cats, two kids and a hubby who is so messy so every morning I wipe down all the sides, vacuum all floors downstairs (pets arnt allowed upstairs)  and disinfect the floors as one of the dogs can never hold her bladder through the night. My back kills and everything hurts but I do this every morning anyway and when its a weekday and my gang are at school and work I clean non stop. I am awake around 6.30am and finally sit down around 1pm for a bit before its time I get my youngest from school. My house always seems dusty to me atm even though its spotless and I just want to keep washing baby clothes lol. Your time will come, even if its the urge to straighten up your baby things x

Answer

I think I’ve had it on and off. But mostly like you I’m so exhausted. Then I get super stressed because I feel like I have so much to do but no energy to do it.

Answer

I'm not 🤷 I have been organizing stuff but I just like to do that anyway so I don't think it's nesting

Answer

I got into a meeting splurge every few days since 32 weeks. I’m 35 weeks now. Usually it’s at odd hours like 9 at night. Just trying to not overdue it.

Answer

Right there with you! I've got his clothes washed but that's it. Still gotta do his blankets and the bassinet cover (have not even bought the sheets yet) and get bassinet set up but I still have to move all the junk out of the way of where bassinet is going. I am so entirely wiped out I feel like I am about to die and thats really not an exaggeration just laying here my heart is pounding so hard I'm so exhausted.
