Well, they say that near the end of pregnancy women tend to "nest," AKA, insanely clean and organize the home to prepare for baby. I say that nesting is for the birds. How do women get the energy to do all that cleaning when they are as big as a house and have a hard time climbing a flight of stairs, let alone bending over to scrub corners and crevices? HMMM??? Maybe it would be better if I was having this nesting instinct, because then my house would be a sparkling miracle, but alas, it is what it is.
The closest I have come to "nesting" is to organize the nursery thoroughly, as well as laundering every bedding/clothing/bath item that he will be using for the next year! But, I don't think that is nesting, I mainly did that because I hear babies can have very sensitive skin.
Who knows, though. I am 37 weeks pregnant and could have Isaac anytime between, well, NOW and 5 weeks from NOW! Maybe the nesting instinct will kick in sometime between now and then.

I hope he comes in 7 days! I need someone to come in and "nest" in my house....it could use a good cleaning!
If you're not doing *crazy* nesting, he's not ready to come out yet. That's my story. At 9 months pregnant I suddenly got the uncontrollable urge to reupholster my rocking chair and move *all* of the furniture in the bedroom because that's where the baby was going to sleep and it wasn't CLEAN ENOUGH. It happened at about 38-39 weeks. Get ready.
