Baby number one I found myself reorganising the hard drive at work - shared files of 28 staff and it was annoying me that nothing was filed consistently. Never bothered me before... but suddenly at 34 weeks pregnant I was staying late just to fix it. Baby was born the next week.

Baby number two I washed windows (in defiance of pelvic instability), emptied, sorted and repacked the walk in robe, linen cupboard, pantry and laundry and cooked till I was having to store stuff at mum's house. I washed the car, cleaned the car seats and had the laundry empty of any washing at all.... (I know!). I said to the receptionist at work that I finally felt on top of things and could now put my feet up... went into labour the next day.

Baby number three I was obsessed with the garden which hadn't been touched in years. I had the worst pelvic instability of the lot, but in just couldn't leave a weed if I saw it. I remember talking to my neighbour over the fence and losing concentration on what he was saying because there was a weed in the path next to my feet and it was bugging me SO MUCH.

Nesting makes me craaaaaazy.
