Nesting - what crazy stuff have you decided Must. Be. Cleaned. Now.

[*LittleMissSummer*]

I did some absolutely crazy things when i was pregnant. My nesting kicked in at about 20ish weeks so i was cleaning the house frantically for half my pregnancy! My worst moments were cleaning out the entire pantry, scrubbing each shelf and rearranging the food in food groups, while in the shower looking at the vanity thinking it looked dirty stopped showering and scrubbed the entire thing from top to bottom and then finishing my shower after about an hour, waking up one day and having the sudden urge to take EVERYTHING out of my wardrobe vacuuming it out and scrubbing the shelves and walls then putting everything in order, when my SIL and her family lived here i went crazy with cleaning and cleaned up every time they made a mess and had a cry if things weren't clean (just a tad crazy) then after she left i spent days scrubbing my house again from top to bottom, i even cut open my finger while scrubbing under the fridge. There was no place safe from me and my cleaning. Then i got this urge to bake so i was baking everything i came home from the hospital with stale muffins on the bench

Sometimes i wish i could just have the nesting feeling again so my house would be spotless.

I didn't start nesting until the day DD was born. From 5am-11am I had to do 3loads of washing, vacuume the house, mop the floors, clean the bathroom, go to Big W to buy batteries for the camera head to hospital to get checked out. Come home pack my bags, head back to the hospital and have a baby at 8pm.

The other day I just HAD.TO. clean my car, mind you it was really grubby but it HAD to be done. And because some brainiac (me)decided to plant 8 lilac trees along the garden path I couldn't get my car to the spot where the hose reaches so had to do multiple bucket loads.

I keep looking at the dust on the light shades and thinking hmmmmmm I SHOULD get up there and do that ... then common sense kicks in and the prospect of climbing up 11 feet on a wobbly old ladder isn't so appealing

This made my day! Made me giggle your not crazy.

I have just been obsessed with getting evertything for the baby, clothes cot etc you name it. And I rearrange everything. I also can't stand the house being even the slightest bit dirty so spend a good 5 hours cleaning on the weekends. Hubby just laughs and tells me he hopes this keeps up after the baby LOL

I too had to clean the car the other day!

With DS, I absolutely had to clean the kickboards in the kitchen, you know the bit at the bottom of the cupboards... I figured that was a pretty dire need, I mean, who looks there??
