Nesting... and paying for it!!

[KrystalC]

Yesterday I went absolutely NUTS around here trying to get everything clean, baby stuff organized, etc. We got pretty much everything finished (except for the leaning tower of laundry) - even decorated the tree, but OMG I am in so much pain right now it's not even funny!! I woke up about 9 million times last night due to peeing constantly and having rather intense pain in my arms and hands from carpal tunnel. At one point, I even had a pretty bad leg cramp and I screamed out in pain and my husband thought I was in labor.

My poor little toes look like sausages this morning, probably from being on my feet almost all day yesterday.

Anyone else feeling the urge to nest and then regretting every minute of it?

Yikes! I'm so sorry about all the swelling and pain. Take it easy today (if possible LOL!) and drink LOTS of fluids.... <<hugs>>!

Oh, yes, been there, done that! My dh knows now that when I get into late pregnancy, I go thru a cycle of working like crazy and then being insanely exhausted for days afterward so he tries to stop me and makes sure I take my naps

I did that on Thanksgiving. I cleaned up the house AND cooked a full meal for my family, all by myself. By the end of the night, as I was carving the turkey to put the rest away, I was leaned over like a 90 year old woman! : My DH asked what type of cleaning we would do the next day (we have a lot of cleaning to do around the house to prepare for all the guests coming), I said, oh, I think I will be in bed most of the day. You can bring laundry to me to fold. And that is what I did yesterday. I slept and folded laundry (while in bed). My back is still paying the price of Turkey day, but man, the food was fantastic!!!! Any now I don't have to think about meals for a number of days, so that works out as well.
