Oh my. I'm 35 weeks and feeling utterley disorganised. I don't finish work for another 2 weeks. My house is a very small cottage. I've just washed up and started to obsess again about my slackness .
I'm a bit of a clutter monkey and have bits here and there in organised piles ready for action, books and stuff that I just can't seem to give to the charity shop/want to put on Ebay.
I would love to be a minimalist but I just am not... I don't have anywhere to dry my washing (garden etc) so use my second bedroom which is more like a walk in wardrobe. Second bedroom is meant to be nursery but we bought a HUGE wardrobe about 4 months ago which is in that room and we are unable to move it so it takes up a ridiculous amount of space. All of my baby clothes nappies are hidden away in there (sure you could find Narnia at the back somewhere as it is SO HUGE ).
Problem is that I am depressed about house and rooms and being ready when bubs arrives.
My g/f has just had her new baby in her new house and everything is so clean and perfect and three beds and I am just sat looking at piles and piles of mess and no room... Plus I have no energy when I start attempting to sort. Hospital bag and baby bag half packed where I was all enthusiastic a while back but I don't know what to do... It makes me worry that I'm going to be a crap mum! Obviously moving is not an option at this stage!
Will the nesting urge just kick in and will I logically work out where everything needs to go? If nesting kicked in for you - when did it?
