When I was pregnant with Moo I never got the cleanng bug, which I was relying on to get my house in order lol. Instead I was obsessed with cooking & stocking up my pantry. My pantry spilled out into our linen cupboard! I had all kind of canned goods, make up, cleaning supplies, cereals, snack food, bathroom supplies, toilet paper (omg I had so much it lasted us for over a year ), you name it & it was in there. I also bought a chest freezer & a vac sealer. I cooked all the time, sealed them up into serving sizes & filled up the freezer. I did a big meat shop & did the same with all of that. Also bought things like icecream, pies, frozen fish etc. AND I even blanched my own veggies to freeze the house stuck of brocolli for weeks! This started when I was about halfway through until I gave birth.
I nver got nesting with my first pregnancy! but this time round I have turned into Martha Stewart!!! baking bakin baking!!! and i am a bloody neat freak - which is so not me!!! my DH loves it because he is getting cakes and slices for work, but i don't think my waistline is liking it!!!
My nesting hit at 20 weeks. I cleaned EVERYTHING. I even cut open my little finger because i was trying to scrub under the fridge I was that bad that if DP moved anything slightly out of place i would scream like a banchee or cry my eyes out. One day while showering i was looking at the bathroom vanity and thought it looked 'dirty' so i stopped showering wrapped a towel around myself and cleaned the vanity inside and out. I took EVERYTHING out and cleaned it then arranged it in catergories...
I rearranged DD's room a thousand times, i put her clothes in groups and size orders. I even cleaned the garage and lifted heavy boxes and stacked them when i was 30 weeks. I vacuumed and mopped every day. i cleaned the windows, walls, skirting boards, every door and anything the baby would see i cleaned.
It didnt stop at just my house but at work i cleaned EVERY register, dusted and wiped down everything and got cranky if other staff members didnt clean. When i was at other peoples houses, mainly my mums and my MIL if it was slightly dirty i wanted to clean. I just had this very strong urge to clean everything.
Some days i wish i had it so i could clean my house, specially since i have an inspection soon
