Nesting.... Do you have it?

Okay so the last 2-3 days I have had this terrible need to clean everything! I don't remember when nesting started with either of my boys (maybe it was because I was working full time and I have always been a keep the house clean kinda OCD person) and I am sure that is exactly what this is.... This morning I didn't feel like doing a single thing and my couch/chair/throw pillows were covered with dog hair and Richie wanted to lay on the couch and all of the sudden--BAM! I felt that urge to get up and start cleaning! With having bare floors throughout the downstairs and upstairs (carpet only on the stairs) and having two dogs that are shedding right now the dog hair is impossible to keep under control and it aggravates the tar out of me! SO... I ended up cleaning the kitchen (again), cleaning the glass on the entertainment center, dusting, vacuuming the couches, vacuuming the all the floors downstairs, and then mopping all of the floors downstairs also... My house smells so wonderful now!
So are any of you ladies going through this? I think I am going to drive myself crazy but I figured with bare floors I need to keep them as clean as possible because soon there will be a little one closer to the ground and crawling before I realize it so I had better start now right? LOL!

I do. DF walked into the kitchen one night and I was scrubbing the walls and floors. (It was 3am) But it's hard too because I want to do everything now, and my energy has plummeted to nothingness.

I WANT to clean but everytime I start I get so worn out and start hurting I have to take a break it took me 2 hours yesterday to clean my bathroom. Usually I'm done in 30 minutes.

I don't know where I'm going to get the energy or streighnth to pack I just went through my closet took me two hours to make three piles and then another hour to sit on floor and fold them up afte taking them all off hangers. I didn't realize how much clothing I have.

Well right now my house is a wreck... we have installers coming to put carpet in thursday so furniture is rearranged, we're working on remodeling projects.  I've slacked int he cleaning dept becuase of the other stuff.  I'm DYING to get the carpet in, get the furniture back and to be able to get everything put back together, then comes the cleaning.  I want this house back to "normal" and clean as much as possible before this baby is born (which my doc informed me last week he expects to be mid-late august NOT sept)  I have moments where all I wanna do is sit then all of the sudden I see something and go nuts.
