I wish I wasn't such a clean, organized person! LOL

Because then maybe I could think about what I'm doing and realize it MUST be a sign that I'll go into labor soon!!

I've been cleaning ALL day- working outside, vaccuming, sweeping, mopping, doing dishes, laundry, organizing baby stuff, picking up things right and left, dusting ceiling corners, scrubbing walls, cleaning doors and doorjambs, scrubbing spots in the carpet, etc.

Anyone else feel like the nesting theory is a rip off?

I've been crazy cleaning lady all day too You should see the inside of my fridge-- I just spent an hour and a half on (and in!) it.

I was actually thinking to myself as I swept the floor-- I hope baby doesn't come yet; there's still so much great cleaning to do ! Of course, ask me if I feel that way if I'm still pregnant in a couple weeks...

[tallulahma]

me too!!!

We are having new windows installed tomorrow and I have been moving furniture all day long to make room in front of all the windows.

I was sweeping and thought, "Im so glad Im doing this so I can clean under all my furniture!"

DH is gonna freak out when he gets home. He asked me specifically to not move furniture today and let him do it when he gets home, but I had this incredible urge to do it....

Right before I came online I was thinking I might go clean my car and detail the inside!!!! these hormones are insane

I cleaned the car yesterday!

I went out there just to see if DH's portfolio was in there and I spent a half hour cleaning it.

I haven't really been nesty... Until yesterday. I scrubbed my entire kitchen and then proceeded to cook 8 meals (3 went just in the freezer). I wasn't even planning on doing that, haha. Then today I got up and 5am and just had to clean all the toilets in the house. I'm more in the cooking and cooking, and then cooking again mode. The crazy part is that I generally do not like cleaning the dishes but that's been half the fun.

I wish I was nesting like you guys were, but I cleaned my van yesterday and ended up suckering the kids into helping me clean the entire garage.... My van does not even get parked in the garage.... hehehe

I just spent over $120 at BJs, and 2 hours cutting and cleaning fruit and cheese for snacks.

I have no idea why. I think it's because the house is already clean.

I still have diapers to fold, though.

It sure felt like a ripoff to me....my house was as clean and organized as it could possibly be and I didn't go into labor on my own, though I sure did have a few hopeful moments! Enjoy your clean house while you can, though....I just got back from the hospital today and I can't believe how many little messes have been made and not cleaned up in the two days I was gone, even with my mom here!

[gottecat]

I wish I had a desire to clean :cry

[cj'smommy]

I wish!!

I want to clean and organize, I really do, but I just don't have the energy to do it. It's driving me nuts that it's not done.

Trying to do it with the boys around is near impossible and I have no energy left when they finally go to bed. DH is doing all he can but it's hard just to keep up with day to day stuff let alone other bigger things.

Don't send me labor vibes, send me 'energy vibes' so I can get this stuff done and stop moping about it!

[battymama]

I find it comes and goes, hopfully it kicks back in for me so i can stop putting stuff off.

[Galatea]

I have the desire to pay someone else to clean my house top to bottom, but no desire to do it myself!

[amyaebi]

I paid for all of my cleaning today (sweeping, mopping, cooking, sorting, washing, folding, moving furniture) with my first "real" contractions tonight. They made me so cranky I nearly bit my children's heads off -- poor boys. Everything has stopped, which I am actually glad for, and I am planning on taking it a little bit easier tomorrow. Maybe.
