re-arranging the furniture?!?

[first_time_mummy]

Okay, so ive been obsessed with cleaning, and re arranging the furniture in our house lately.

I completely re arranged our bedroom, and part of the lounge room, and have been obsessed in getting new bed side tables and baby furniture.

My dp came home the other day and started laughing, saying, 'oh, your doing that pregnancy thing'

I was like...'huh?'

Apparently him and his dad said that a lot of women start to rearrange the house and furniture, when they are pregnant.

I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar urge, to rearrange the house layout?

welcome to the 'nesting' phase!

i am going through it too and because of my back/pelvic pain there's nothing i can do about it for now... it's a pain...

I am not allowed to re arrange anything (heavy lifting) but I KNOW as soon as I get the chance and am allowed to make changes I will be doing that. I also have in my mind how I am going to renovate the next bedroom and one of our bathrooms.

Dh just ignores me or say - draw me a plan and I will do it

lol, ahh, the nesting stage.
Its really we have these feeling to want to re arrange everything hey.

I wake up and have a big plan on what i want to do, and where i want to put thigs lol.

And i cant stand mess, I have never been the one to do house work, and now i cant walk past an empty glass without taking it to the kitchen, washing it, and wiping the bench where it was sitting lol

I hope im not getting ocd...I mean sitting at home all day with all this time on my hands is really done the house some good lol.

Oh and my back is suffereing badly from all this furniture moving and stuff, I had to leave my current job, because my back was getting bad, and now im at home lifting, which is prob worse!!!

Im sitting here at the computer in pain now, and regretting doing all that lifting.

I just have to be careful i dont strain anything, or get to stressed out, because i get VERY stressed when i do house work, and something doesnt go right...i get so worked up over nothing lol

Just be careful not to overdo it.
