Is anyone actually nesting?

Has anyone been nesting because I haven't started to nest at all, I am actually still tired 90% of the day. I have to force myself to do the little that I do. When is nesting supposed to kick in?

I'm wiped and my constant bladder infections are kicking my butt and the meds too. I"m huge and I have heartburn and indegestion wicked bad now. It stinks. The baby I can tell is huge and he is running out of room. I feel like I'm going to pop like a balloon. I'm ready but I don't want to rush anything I want him to be as healthy as possible. I'm sore with really bad period like cramps and really bad pelvic pain. My dh says it looks like he dropped he said my belly is lower so we'll see. I have seen no signs of my mucus plug which I'm suprised my other ones I saw it around this time. It goes to show you every single pg is different! I hope you feel better soon!

Hugs,
AP

Ladies- I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who is completely exhausted but still wanting to get things done.

GRose- you are crazy, lol nesting since 5 months. I was doing a lot more then too but that stopped when all the pains started.

AP- I am very tired and in pain, lol. That basically sums up how I am feeling these days. I don't think I will be going into labor soon which in a way I am not happy with because of the way I feel but at the same time I want him to stay in as long as possible because the longer he stays in the longer DH will be able to be off work after he is born so I have mixed feelings about that. How are you feeling?

OMG funny you posted this all weekend I have been and my dh didn't realize until I pointed it out. Now whenever he sees the word nest he goes look honey that's what you're doing! Ha. I can't stop getting everything cleaned and ready and I'm up in the middle of the night too. My instincts are just on over drive. It's cute how we just instinctively know what to do! I can't wait for us still waiting. How are you feeling?

Hugs,
AP

I started nesting like a maniac about three weeks ago. I had to organize everything in the house. I organized the kitchen cabinets, all of the closets in the house, under the bathroom and kitchen sinks, and the pantry. I felt the need to buy bulk paper towels, toilet paper, and soap! I'm now 39 weeks and out of things to organize. Now, I'm just being anal about KEEPING the house clean. I insist the kitchen and house is clean before bed just in case I go into labor at night - I refuse to come home w/the baby and a dirty house! I've never been like this before - so I'm positive it's real nesting! My husband enjoys the clean house around him! He's like, "we should have gotten pregnant sooner!"

I have seriously been nesting since about 5 months, I cant keep still, all I want to do is clean. I am also very exhausted but I cant stop myself from getting stuff ready.

With my first I NEVER got a nesting instinct so this is a little odd for me.

My nesting was the WANT to get everything 100% ready for the baby, but too tired to do it. I did it a little at a time.

Sort of, I mainly want to be home getting everything ready for the baby, but I am also tired as hell.  I think that my husband is nesting more than me, he's making a checklist of what to pack for the hospital etc.  I think its sooo funny!
