~Roo'sMama~ wrote: "burst of energy" I'm supposed to be getting to get all my cleaning done before the baby comes? huh.gif I'm just not feeling it. tongue.gif I didn't really do the nesting thing when I was pg with Andrew... I wanted my house to be clean but the closer I got to my due date the less I felt like actually getting up and doing anything. I feel the same way with this one ~ my house is messy and I have tons of organizing to do but I just don't have the energy! wacko.gif I really wish the nesting instinct would kick in so I could get something done! tongue.gif

lisar replied: I never got it either. With either on of my kids. I know people who do though. I just wanted to relax I had no energy.

Kaitlin'smom replied: I never got it either, infact her room was not even done when I went into labor, my parents and ssiter helped DH finish while I was in the hospital. I hope yours kicks in for you. Maybe just a little at a time, who kows maybe once you get started it will kick in.

hopefulmomtobe replied: Yaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnn, I don't think I will get mine done either. I am tired all the time, it is a wonder I get to work on time.

Relax, it will get done...just a little at a time.

3xsthefun replied: I never got it with either of my girls.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Well good I'm glad I'm not the only one!! I feel like the laziest pg mommy ever. blush.gif

I did have one burst of energy when I was pg with Roo though - the night I went into labor I was up all night with contractions and I cleaned the bathroom and mopped all my floors. tongue.gif But I never really felt like the house was ready for him because I just never got it all organized.

siblingtooolivia replied: I had it with the second one, but never acted on it - I think because it took all of my energy to get through the day with working and Olivia - I had nothing left to give to that instinct!!! rolling_smile.gif

A&A'smommy replied: ahhh yeah I was the same way with Alyssa. I hope it comes for ya soon!!! hug.gif

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
Lol I know what you mean. I feel like I've really accomplished something if I can manage to do a load of dishes in the dishwasher and wash a load of laundry... without folding it! Andrew takes a lot of energy. He's so energetic right now and I just don't have enough to keep up with him! wacko.gif

Boo&BugsMom replied: I'm waiting with you! 2 1/2 more months to go and I'm still beat every day! My first pregnancy was soooooooooo much different, and much more easier!

EvesMom replied: I missed otu on the nesting instinct while preg. with Eve. But Dh ripped the house apart and cleaned everthing while we were in the hospital biggrin.gif I sure hope he does that again this time around rolling_smile.gif

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
Wow that would be nice. happy.gif My parents will probably be staying here with Andrew so maybe my mom will do some cleaning for me. biggrin.gif

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
In some ways my first pg was easier, and in some ways this one has been easier. I'm definitely more uncomfortable, and the heartburn is worse, but I haven't gained as much as I did with Roo so that helps. rolleyes.gif The biggest thing that made it easier with Andrew was I didn't have any other kids to take care of so I could sleep all day if i wanted to. tongue.gif
