    Nesting Hubbies

    Has anyone else had a dh who is nesting? I would have probably rolled my eyes at such a thought a few months ago but I dunno... Dh has been cleaning and moving furniture and organising and messing around in the garden like crazy the past week or so. I've been pretty fidgety myself and cleaning weird things since the house is long since clean clean clean, freezing meals, etc myself and he's totally keeping up with me. Its kind of adorable. Usually he's helpful enough if I ask but wouldn't care less about the finish on the new chest of drawers or clipping vines off the side of the house, let alone writing himself lists and finding new things to do. He's really clingy too, hates leaving the house and comes and hangs out in the kitchen when I'm cooking or the study when I'm working. Always wanting cuddles. Not complaining at all, its really lovely.

    And he's been putting apple juice in everything. Weirdo. Can men get those weird cravings too?

    I don't doubt this odd phenomenon Bellelass.

    My dh has suffered morning sickness, hormone swings, cravings and lower back-pain throughout my pregnancy, and apparently did through his sisters too. Kind of frustrating really because I'd prefer to be suffering these ailments on my own with full support, not comparing how we feel - hehe. In saying that though, could be handy for me when it comes to nesting, may actually get him to do the jobs I've been nagging about for months...

    LOL!! Yes, my DH nested too. He cleaned out all the kitchen cupboards and built some new shelves just before DS1 arrived. I think it's quite normal. But if your DH isn't usually one to help out much, I'd be getting some photos .
