Nesting

[Sneezy86]

Posting this to try and keep myself from doing what is probably inevitable. Woke up at 3 and can't sleep as my head is currently trying to rearrange the kitchen cupboards so the cooking can be more efficient?! (no it makes no sense to me either). Part of my brain is telling me to stop being stupid, I arranged the kitchen that way 3 years ago for a reason- another part of me is laughing saying 'you know you are going to be thinking about this until you get on and do it'. Would you go and rearrange the cupboards contents or try and leave it? Have 12 days until c-section so not sure how long I can put this off for.
Why does pregnancy make us so bonkers?
(No reply needed- just writing to spend time doing something other than getting up and actually rearranging things, although could be funny watching hubby try and make a cup of tea when he wakes not being able to find the tea bags, kettle or cups :P )

i totally sympathise, i am 30 weeks but was told i am measuring 34, so in my head i have four weeks less, whereas in reality i likely will just have eye watering large baby!
so i was pottering about slowly doing my 'nesting' but now feel my deadline has been brought forward! i reorganised our cupboards before Christmas but feeling the urge to do it again. if this is your first dc may i suggest finding cupboards which you can lock for cleaning stuff and glass jars e.g spices etc are put in higher cupboards!

I'd get up and do it! Ur not gunna get to sleep otherwise haha xxx

The day before I had DS I woke in the early hours and it suddenly became very important to clean out the soap and softener draws in the washing machine!! My DH just looked at me with an amused expression and let me get in with it. Nesting is a funny thing!! Do it if you need to, just stay safe and don't go wobbling about on chairs to reach high cupboards etc!

I'm 38 weeks and trying to convince myself not to paint the downstairs loo today. My brain knows it can wait but I've already got some paint waiting to be used. So tempting.

The day before I had DD (8 days overdue) I spent several hours on my hands and knees scrubbing the grout on the kitchen floor tiles with bleach and a nail brush...

Now 35 weeks with DC2 and wondering if I would prefer my kitchen if I swapped the kettle and toaster round so kettle was next to the sink. Totally normal, just get on and do it - but expect to be laughed at by your nearest and dearest :-)
