End of pregnancy madness???

[VanillaSliceSliceBaby]

So theoretically I have 4 weeks to go and have been so tired for most of the pregnancy and nicely tucked up by 10 at the latest but these last few days I seem to have had a burst of manic energy. Still clearly knackered underneath, and look pretty hanging, but have that wild eyed look and basically, can't, stop, cooking.

I am still working during the day but can't seem to do the sensible thing and flop in front of the television when I get home. Instead it's baking and cooking galore. Mince pies, sausage rolls, roasts...I was about to go to bed half an hour ago but started cooking some cranberry sauce instead cos I saw it on delia last night. Tho ended up going with the Nige recipe. chuck it in a pan and stir. very easy.

I have never eaten cranberry sauce before. I assumed it;s something that goes with cold cuts , but is it actually for turkey only? we're not even doing christmas day this year. What am i doing? I want to make relishes and chutneys and a ham and muffins and a panettone bread and butter pudding. these are all on my list.

Is anyone else having similar symptoms? Am hoping mine will segue into uber housework. No sign of that yet though sadly...

Im 5 weeks to birth and have had the housework madness. Still tired and in bed pretty early but spending my days glossing doors, siliconing bath and shower, cleaning out shoe cupboard and polishing all our shoes! cleaning out all the cupboards and making endless lists of 'things still to do'

Scary thing tho is still have not packed my bag! wondering if im in denial as second child and i know whats to come!!!!!!

Haha your post made me laugh vanilla Wow all those lovely things your making, im jealous!

Im exactly the same, with housework and shopping! I have lists everywhere, keep clearing cupboards and wardrobes out. Keep making lists of things to buy from supermarket. Our cupboards are overflowing with food yet i have another list of things we "need" i have spent a fortune! Its like im stocking up for the year! Poor DF and DD keep going into a cupboard and picking something out, then i suddenly appear behind them and start ranting about how that is for christmas and i wont be buying more if they eat it now! (i know i would though, i would start a new list!)

I have 2 weeks to go and still got things i need to do. Im obsessed and can't relax until i have finished my lists. But i know after every list i tick off i come up with another one!

So no, you are not alone. I am also mad. lol.

Much better than wasting your life watching telly, Vanilla.

We don't have one so all my evenings are spent in the manner you describe - with only 5 weeks to go
