I didn't have a nesting instinct either.... I did cook some meals to freeze, but only because my Mum came to help me. I also kept waiting for the instinct to kick in but nup.... business as usual (much to my DH's disappointment!!! )
I had a nesting thing with my last bub - but only after I had reached the 40 week mark and had started being 'overdue'. Then I developed this need to have the house spotless and was obsessively tidying and cleaning the floors etc, but of course with 2 other kids, DH and my mum staying with us, it was just impossible to keep the house perfect! I had everything ready for DD, I just needed a baby!
I didnt think I nested until I looked back at it, I cleaned madly. Stocked up on food and mad stuff like toilet paper. Obviously thought there was going to be some kind of shortage!
I also had a mad urge to get things done like painting the house and putting shutters in across the arch to shut off the back of the house (in hindsight this was actually really practical) of course I couldn't do these things myself so drove DH nuts "encouraging" him to get everything done.
haha, i'm only 7 weeks in and i'm already wanting to be 'nesty' as my house is a mess - i'm too tired to clean though! even DH asked "when do you think you'll get nesty? then HE started cleaning out all of the cupboards.. love that man.. especially if he nests for me!
