37 weeks- nesting instinct making me ANGRY with DH

[Artyparty]

Dear Mumsnetters- am I being unreasonable: after DC#1(3 years ago) I carefully put all baby things/ clothes away, labelled etc.

When I found we were expecting DC#2 I checked everything and washed all the bedding & clothes again over the summer. I retrieved things I'd leant to friends & bought or upgraded stuff we needed including nappies, cotton wool etc.
I put it all just inside the attic for easy access but now I am too huge to get up there...,. I have been asking DH to finish some minor DIY jobs for the past 3 months & to get the baby stuff down so we can set up the room & get organised.... He has been procrastinating for weeks & weeks ... Now I'm on the edge of loosing it with him. THE BABY IS DUE IN 3 WEEKS & DH doesn't seem to realise if we start out on the back foot we will be at odds for months... It's actually too late now and I'm furious. I feel I could pop any day and will be rushing around for the basics & looking at unfinished DIY jobs instead of enjoying the baby FFS - aggggggghhhh

I can imagine my DP being like this as he is a huge procrastinator!

Good Luck

I'd shout at him personally. and then point out that shouting might just bring on labour...

I'd def want the baby things down, maybe tell him you'll just have to buy new ones if he doesn't get them for you??

I feel your pain. I am 39 weeks today, having planned section tomorrow, DH finished his list of jobs yesterday after having it for weeks and wasting time. Thankfully I had got all baby's stuff set up by 34 weeks when I was still able as there was a small risk I'd be hospitalised then but the other DIY and cleaning I was no longer able to do were left for DH.
I am pissed off that we had a lovely weekend planned for just the 3 of us for the last time and that basically got cancelled because he didn't pull his finger out. We were supposed to take dd to see Santa but I refused to book it on advance as it cost £40 and I could see jobs getting left and I was right. He looked pretty gutted about losing our family weekend but he had the list since the beginning of November, when I also suggested the nice weekend so he only has himself to feel gutted with.

YANBU!

Maybe set off up into the attic yourself in front of him? His guilt and shame should surely make him stop you in your tracks and get on with it himself!

Second mrss!, I have used this and can confirm dp moved quite swiftly when he saw me carrying the step ladders! ( I was kinda hoping it would work as I know for a fact if I even managed the ladders there was no way on earth I could heave my heavy ass up into the loft hatch)

Another vote for just starting to get on with it yourself to shame him into action - worked for me too, I got as far as heaving the ladder out of the garage last night (nearly 39 weeks here...)
