Nesting? Or am I going crazy??

[hartmel]

I'm in such a cleaning mode, it is crazy. (And I should be honest, I hate cleaning. Even when I was still living at home I hated it..)
My husband got home from work and I was in the middle of vacuuming the house.
Normally he asks "how are you doing/ how was your day" but this time he asked "everything ok with you?"

I scrubbed the bathroom sink, the bathtub and toilette in the first bathroom. (We have two) Washed all the windows downstairs, vaccumed the house..

But the worse part of all of this is, I have a 12 month old son. Who normally when you give toys he plays with them but lately he is clingy and just wants to be near me.
I got so frustrated at him that he wouldn't play with the car beside me so I could clean the sink.

When my Husband came in from cutting wood (we have a house with a Woodstove so he is getting ready for winter) I started to cry! Handed him our son and with tears in my eyes told him of mad I got at our son for being so clingy and disturbing me with the cleaning. My question to him was then "since when to I get mad at someone for disturbing me in the middle of cleaning, I hate cleaning, and normally I would be glad to sit down and play with our son but it is driving me crazy"
He just looked at me smiled and said "honey everything will be ok. I will watch DS and you go and take a nice relaxing warm bath"

Seriously am I going crazy or is this just my hormones.

Sorry my post got so long! But I don't understand myself at the moment!!

Oh and I'm 37 weeks on Saturday!!

Lol sounds like it, I'm 37 weeks and have had random cleaning binges for the last couple of weeks literally in the cupboards chucking things cleaning them all etc xx

P.s it's not like me either haha

Im only 27 weeks and my flat is spotless. I spent 5 hours cleaning the living room which is just about big enough to swing a cat in and no more. My skirting boards look amazing!
I even cleaned my Henry hoover with anti bacterial wipes - wtf???

ahh, what a sweet picture of your family! I'm 37 weeks too and have been utterly mental. A coupl;e of weeks ago I couldn't sleep because I had decided that life could not continue normally until we had a chest of drawers for the baby's things...I was obsessed. We don't buy things new - so spent 3 frantic days dragging my 3 yr old Son round all the second hand shops in the area until I found one. (which I did and my poor family breathed a sigh of relief..!!)

Now I'm all about the floors.

Hang in there, don't think you're mad - I think it's nesting - either that or we're all crackers.

hula !!!! at your disinfected Henry!

That is so good to know that I'm not the only one!!
I didn't had this nesting thing with my first one! So that is why I was shocked about my own reaction!

Oh and I mentioned in my original post that I hate cleaning. Just wanted to clarify that I still clean the house but it is not spotless and shiny like all those nice fancy houses.. And plus now with DS toys I find that the house always looks like a mess. But a family member told me once "toys everywhere does not mean that the house is dirty. It is normal"

All night I felt like I was dreaming the baby is coming, that I have Braxton hicks in a short time. Etc. maybe I did have Braxton hicks. But was do exhausted from the day I couldn't tell the difference

I was obsessed with cleaning the paintwork on Monday, I don't normally give much thought to paintwork! I am 37 weeks. My poor husband is sick of hearing "we need to maintain a level of tidiness for when baby arrives" but having a toddler too is making it tricky!

I could have written this post! I've been possessed by mr muscle today! I am most definitely, 100% NOT a cleaner... But today, wow! I've cleaned nooks and crannies I never knew existed. Im 29 weeks today so wondering if this chap will be as early as his biggest brother was. He was a 29 weeker...! Eek!

Loveallmyboys- let's hope that this one will stay in longer! That must have been scary to have such a tiny baby

Terrifying! I went into some sort of shock when my waters broke then when he was born, I was petrified to fall in love with him incase I lost him. I turned 21 2 weeks before he was born so was only a kid myself really. He was in scbu for 9 weeks. The whole thing is still a blur. I barely remember any of his first 6-12 months. He's now a healthy, happy 11 year old! My 2lb11oz miracle :)
