When did you find yourself nesting?

I am 5 months pregnant today! I can't believe I've made it this far already. I already feel the baby move and they sometimes kick me back if I nudge my belly. So sweet.. Anyway... this morning I woke up when DF did. He gets up about 4:45-5:00 am to get ready for work... He goes to take a shower and I usually go back to sleep until he gets out, then we say our goodbyes and I fall right back to sleep. Well this morning I got up as usual, he took his shower but I never went back to sleep. He got ready for work and had breakfast then left... Here it is at 9 am and I'm still awake. I've noticed I'm in a cleaning mood today. I was in a little bit of one last night, too. I've washed and dried 3 loads of clothes, folded them/put them away, cleaned off our dressers (they always seem to get messy with cups or junk lol), vacuumed our bedroom floor, and I'm pretty sure I could find something else to do.. lol....


Is it too early to be "nesting"? I'm sure it can be different with everyone but this cleaning horse I'm on is not letting up. I've been having the craving to smell lysol and bleach because I know that it means everything is clean! I'm such a weirdo! LOL

I was cleaning around that same time last night! Lol... I haven't really been tired much at all this whole pregnancy except in the beginning at night I was out by 12:30 and I'm a night owl... so I'll take whatever I can get. I've been cleaning and doing laundry for 3 hours so I'm finally done for now. I'll be making homemade subs when DF gets home in a bit, I'll have my chance to clean up again lol

I noticed this pattern too. And now it comes in spurts for me. I'm now over 37 weeks along and I am feeling SO tired all the time. So take advantage of these early bouts of energy! Last night I did get a cleaning bug to crawl up me and at 9:30 I was doing laundry. LOL! My energy spurts came early on too (around 4-7 months) and then started slowing down. Everyone says that the nesting comes late, but I would LOVE any type of energy right now. After I sleep, I just want to sleep some more! :)

hahaha! climbing the wall to get the cob webs really crossed my mind this morning as I was vacuuming the floor! LOL

The only bleachy things I'll be smelling is from the clorox wipes and I'll try not to inhale any of it lol
