You know you’re nesting when...

- you’re organizing the linen closet
- you have a $150 Instacart order from Bed, Bath and Beyond
- you told your husband you’re rearranging the spare room this weekend
- you’ve reorganized your toddlers room
- additional under the bed storage has been purchased to reorganize and store clothes the toddler has outgrow.

(Please ignore Rudolph, he’s my daughters contribution)

And go

1 am the day before labor I organized the baby’s closet from size, season and color 🤦🏾‍♀️

I reorganized the living room and dinning room so I can fit my 1 years olds huge bounce house inside swing and another climbing tower 🤦🏻‍♀️. 1 month left I’m not ready for a newborn

Avatar

Congratulations! I loved nesting! I started going into labor while cleaning my kitchen, two weeks before my due date- thought it was back pain from reorganizing and cleaning that week 🤦🏻‍♀️ Very noticeable contractions started less than two hours later, I was like noooo I still have things to put away 😂 my bag was packed though so I wasn’t too worried.

You've painted 5 rooms of your house 😅

Avatar

Two days before I gave birth I wallpapered the entire spare room, ladder and everything. I don’t know what I was thinking but I got it done in time so my mum could stay and help out with the baby.

Avatar

My boyfriend and I have moved into our new apartment yesterday, just in time for baby’s arrival in a couple weeks. And I already have the house all set up today 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ next is baby’s room !

Watch the home edit. That will really take nesting to another level.

Avatar

You want to show anyone who comes over what new baby stuff you have even if they have no interest.

Lol that's cute and good timing cause my due date was today I'm still not having contractions, I've been working delivering for instacart, washed,folded organized the babies clothes put her crib together, still cooking and cleaning hoping it will get the baby more ready to come out and nothing lol

I'm going to clean and organize tomorrow 😃

Avatar

I feel you. Ive repainted half the house, redecorated, organised every cupboard and space and now onto meal prepping. Still dont feel prepared tho!

Avatar

I was going crazy on cleaning when I was pregnant I don’t know how I did it with my big belly. You go girl

Avatar

You all are impressive. I’m moving in less than a month (to who knows where yet) and I haven’t even started packing. Did get some boxes though that are still sitting in the plastic wrap lol.

Avatar

I didn’t actually know I was nesting , until I gave birth and my mom pointed it out. My nesting consisted of me making a months worth of food . And I just thought I was hungry ahaha 😂 pregnancy life

Avatar

I’ve done this from the start organising and tidying 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ opps. Xxx

Avatar

Vacuumed all the steps

Avatar

When you tell your husband, the entire upstairs floors need to be replaced! 😂

Avatar

You scrubbed the top of the refrigerator!

Avatar

I don’t think I nested my mom and aunt clean my house. But most of the last two months of my pregnancy I was on bed rest at my parents house

Avatar

For me I organized my babies room about ten times before he was born. I also did the dishes and everything around the house. I was exhausted 😩

Avatar

Today I rearranged all the kitchen cupboards to move Tupperware into a drawer and wiped down and scrubbed all the cupboard doors. The day before I went through the fridge and freezer. What is happening to me ?!?

Avatar

I had a baby room all set up at the town house we were renting even though we were looking for a house to buy, bought a house at 7 months pregnant , and got to do it all over again!! Lol

Avatar

You rearrange the room 5 times just to make more space. We live with my in laws in the process of buying a house so we share a room with our son

Avatar

😂😂😂🙃😊 Yeppers! Nothing is clean enough, organized enough,,,,Youtube cleaning organization videos are my fav right now!

Avatar

I could have wrote this post myself! 😂 literally any day my toddler is in Nursery I'm going crazy on organising cupboards and clearing things out...only time I get to myself but so satisfying when you see the end result!

Avatar

I didn't know this was a thing until I came home with the baby. I would not- could not- stop cleaning up whatever was around in our very crowded studio. I found new things to clean that i had never before dreamt of cleaning in my life. I guess if didn't affect me as much pre-delivery cuz I was working full time until I delivered. Once I realized this was nesting, I compelled myself to resist the urge and get some sleep.

When you start looking at DIY videos on how to lay flooring

Avatar

I cleaned and organized the pantry and now I'm onto the fridge. I am due in just 7 weeks with baby number 2. I just got done organizing her room and got everything ready.

Avatar

You moved your stove to get on ur hands and knees to scrub and clean the floor under/behind the stove🤣😂🤣

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
