Nesting!!

I was just wondering if anyone has been nesting or done it in the past?  I don't think I did last time, but lately, I've been doing laundry like a madwoman and I just made a pie!  Granted, Baby has been craving banana cream pie for the last 3 days, so I had to oblige him/her and now that I'm off work, I've got more time on my hands and I'm trying to keep busy......so maybe it's not really nesting.

I nested with my daughter at about 37wks... but I think I've started early with this one, which is going to drive me crazy because I'm still on bed-rest... Last night I made my husband go buy toilet-bowl cleaner at 11PM and I sat there scrubbing the toilet for about 20 minutes because I couldn't stand the thought of it being dirty... and today after taking a bath with my daughter, I drained the tub and got ready for a shower but noticed there was some dirt on the tub so I sat there shivering and wet scrubbing at it until it was clean before I was able to convince myself to finish up and shower, LOL. Every time I go into the kitchen I cheat and scrub something or organize something until my husband notices that I've been up too long and chases me back to bed... this is going to be a very long next 6 months... but very clean ones!!!!

typically from what I have read, nesting occurs right at the end where If one starts to get all in the mood to clean, bake, get stuff done out of the blue then you know its a matter of time before the big day. I am just about 38 weeks pregnant now and noticed in the last few days my need to finalize things, getting bags packed, cleaning etc. Like it hit me out of no where like someone lit a fire under my butt. LOL.

ya know it's funny, before I even found out I was pregnant this time, I had several days where I went nuts cleaning the house, I mean I really went crazy. BUt I have had the nesting period withmy past pregnancies too.  Wanna see something funny? Watch an 8 month pregnant woman put together a changing table and a dresser by herself LOL
