Nesting has not kicked in for me at all, I'm still at the 'I don't want to move from the sofa, I'm too uncomfortable' stage. SO on the other hand wants to clean everything.. I'm happy to let him for now.
I cleaned up some garbage from the basement, vacuumed the living room rug, gathered loose plastic bags and junk mail for recycling, and sewed 2 fitted crib sheets for today. There was so much more I wanted to do but I'm drained.
I finally managed to clean out the medicine cabinet and take all of the expired stuff to the pharmacy....didn't get much other than that done but still consider it a win.
I have been taking a lot of baby steps. I don't have time for much more than that, especially since DH has been prioritizing getting the yard ready for summer (and work) over me getting ready for this baby. If I was able to, I could probably go all day long on baby stuff.
I don't know if I'm nesting or just getting things done that need to happen anyway. Got a bunch of toys and storage moved around this weekend to make room for baby stuff to come back out and put DS's toys in a better location for him too (ok, I didn't do all this, I organized it all and had H do all the lifting and moving around and putting away while haha). I'm actually beginning to feel like our house is the most organized/things are in the most logical spots it's been since we moved in 2.5 years ago!
Today I felt the need to make a list for my parents of stuff they'll have to remember for DS, not that it was super necessary but it was in my brain and I needed to get it on paper so I wouldn't think about it anymore. We'll be doing some more essentials shopping Thursday before my appointment so that will also tick some little checks off my list!
How do you people have the energy for this? All I want to do is sleep.
This is how I feel too! I desperately want to get everything done but by the time I've had breakfast I'm ready for a nap. Trying to tell myself to do a little at a time but it's not working. Hoping that writing it all out in a nice organised to-do list will make it easier. That's about all I seem to have energy to do.

To do lists stress me out! I see all the things and it makes me even more likely to nap than get them done. So awful.

For me, having a vague sense of having a lot to do but not a specific list feels like a cloud of worry hanging over me. Having it written out at least means I know what needs to be done and I can start working on it.
I need nesting to kick in! I hurried DH off the phone before saying that I had to go take care of some things around the house. I've been watching TV since. Ugh. Nesting, come on!
I finally cleaned the shower/bathtub last night, including scrubbing the grout and replacing the liner that I bought MONTHS ago. Not sure where I got the sudden burst of energy to do it, so I'm gonna point the finger at nesting.
I also painted my toenails and fingernails. Feeling accomplished.
