Nesting at 36 weeks pregnant is a great way to get your life in order
By Christina | October 31, 2007
Here I am at 36 weeks pregnant, viable age of delivery now and I am so ready, as I can imagine most of us are at this point. I went to the doctor today and have gained only 17 pounds, well it was 20, but I have been eating less as my soon to be second daughter is taking up a lot of space in my body and I am one hundred percent sure I have lost some muscle mass from lack of really working out hard. The doctor seemed fine with it but he did say I would probably go into labor on a Spinning bike - that would be classic and I wish it would go that route, pretty neat story.
If you have ever been pregnant, with a woman who is pregnant, or plan on becoming pregnant, I can tell you one of the most interesting phenomenon you will experience is “nesting”. I am not what most would call a neat freak, I am not even what most would call, “neat”… but I have become manic about it now. I cannot walk past a dust bunny without sweeping the entire second floor or pull the milk out of the fridge without cleaning every shelf!
Today I decided to look into my daughter’s room and we spent the next 8 hours, seriously 8 hours, cleaning. Not just cleaning, going through everything and discarding all her old clothes, toys, junk.. she still had Happy Meal toys from God knows when. Her room is done and now I have to call the Salvation Army or some pick up charity because my poor daughter has a skeleton of clothes and toys left in her room.
I don’t love the last part of pregnancy but I do love the results, my house needed the spring cleaning.. oh, I have also had the roof pressure cleaned, the carpets and grout are being pressure cleaned Friday, the wood fence around the house is being sealed and repainted this weekend, I have paid off all debt and already bought my after pregnancy workout clothes! Wow, if we could harness the nesting instinct and apply it to business we could create an army of top performing employees…
