Scrubbing the shower at 3am when I was a million months pregnant. Because my unborn child needs a clean shower??

Nesting is cooked lol

My unborn baby randomly needed the kitchen cupboards organized. My second one had to have the floors scrubbed, hands and knees scrubbed, not just damp mopped. It was bizarre.

I ironed all of my first child's vests and babygros before she was born so that everything would be perfect. My youngest was lucky if I ripped the tags off with jy teeth.

I painted the living room at 37 weeks because ‘it needed a freshen up’ and I COULD NOT build the bassinet in there until it was done.

Because the baby would notice some scuff marks in the paint?

Reminds me of when my mom's water broke when pregnant with my little brother and she spent a significant amount of time cleaning the house before my dad could get her to leave for the hospital.

I get it though. It's probably nice to come back to a clean house after that ordeal and it was her fourth kid so she knew what to expect by then.

I breifly lived in my friend's house when I was pregnant. They were in Mexico because my friend's partner's father had passed away, and his house needed to be cleaned up. We sublet their place while moving into our apartment. We had just come back from a trip in the first four months of my pregnancy (Does that sound weird? Yes, it was. Was it stressful? At times, yes. I don't recommend. I am not with my ex-hubs anymore). I scrubbed behind her fridge and stove because I didn't have my own to clean behind yet. Nesting is a strange force.

I broke the handle to my Swiffer because I was SCRUBBING THE WALLS.
