So, who's nesting?

[scattered]

Anyone done any crazy organizing or purging lately? Who are my list makers? I love a good list. I have been on a roll lately, and I don't know if it's finally getting over the flu or nesting. 

[shmee]

I need to stop opening these threads

Carry on, organized people

[veganontuesdays]

Me me me! We started this weekend and are on a roll. Spare bedroom has been completely gutted and cleaned (my dog is not pleased because it was his room), crib put together, clothes are on hangers, dresser has made it's way into the nursery, crib bedding purchased, decorations purchased, and now moving on to research on gliders. AHHH! Feels damn good.

I have the nesting instinct of a pregnant woman even when I'm not pregnant. A few times the past few weeks I've been so obsessed with organizing, purging, rearranging, making lists, cleaning, that I was starting to feel mentally unstable... It's like a whole new level of nesting

[emilyanimals15]

Ugh- room is painted and we installed a light fixture. Still deciding on decor and about to order a closet organizer. Haven't assembled the crib yet because I'm not sure if I want to paint it or not... So everything is sorta sitting on the side of the room still.

[scattered]

OMG ignore my typo. WHO'S not WHOSE.

Kitchen cupboards and bedroom closets.

I'm cleaning and organizing everything, and by cleaning and organizing I usually mean I walk around with a contractor sized trash bag and throw everything in it. It's terrible and wasteful, I know.

[ajm0711]

My to do list made me cry Sunday if that counts for anything.

[robotpcr]

I keep WANTING to do things but I don't really have much to do, shockingly. The room is painted and empty. We're waiting on the furniture until we determine if family wants to gift us these things. There's been some talk but I have a feeling it won't happen until closer to my shower, which is March 7. And decorations, etc need to wait on furniture since the room is so small. It won't be clear what we have space for until we get the furniture in. And I'm trying to hold off on clothes and those things until my shower/when my parents visit and my dad and DH install a closet organizer.

I spent four hours cleaning my kitchen yesterday, 30 minutes on the guest bathroom, made SO clean the carpets and couches, and have been organizing random stuff in the house all day today.

[veenie]

I am making a list and checking it twice, but I need the basement to b3 done before I go too crazy. Thursday carpet is getting laid, and this weekend...

This is me, too! Also my parents are coming to visit this weekend so that kicks it up a notch to wall-scrubbing status. DH has been a really good sport so far! We try to focus on one area of the house at a time. It's hard to turn it off!

[amylee545]

Agh yes my nesting has kicked into hard gear. A couple weekends ago we got all the furniture into the nursery, got the bedding set up, put clothes in her drawers, and started the decorating. We're now just waiting for my showers before we finish setting everything up and finish organizing.

First shower is Feb 15 and the other one is April 4th. At first I thought that February was super early for my shower, but now I'm really happy that way I'll be able to organize SOME stuff sooner rather than later!

Over the past few weeks i've been cleaning out our storage/play room to convert it into the nursery and a LOT of purging and organizing has been going on in the process.

The crib is put together, dresser is in, glider is done, closet is mostly cleaned out (except for some things that we're storing for a garage sale hopefully to take place next month), toys are relocated (either to kids' bedrooms or stored away), I made a new storage area for our gift wrapping supplies which used to be stored in the playroom closet... there's a lot going on right now. I'm an organization freak even when i'm not pregnant, so this has put me into overdrive! I also have my DIY project list and i'm slowly checking those off one by one. It's getting real up in here!

If by nesting you mean sitting in my nest and not doing anything then yes. Anything on the contrary then no.

[operageek]

Yes! DH told me this weekend to sit down because I was making him tired. I scrubbed the house top to bottom and tried to convince him to let me start putting the new baby stuff together in DD's room.

I'm with @ajzmommy the nesting bug has not hit me yet. I am very good at sitting my ass on the couch after work and delegating chores to DH.

I have a hard time keeping my tiny house in order. I haven't even started with the babies room yet. I need to get a move on. May will be here before I know it and I have nothing done. All it will take is for me to gung-ho it one weekend.

I haven't even thought about the baby's room yet... It's currently a storage room, and everytime I look at it, it gives me anxiety

[j3nnyb3nny]

We are in the process of swapping everyone's bedrooms around.
My FIL has moved out and we have bought the house and are living with MIL. We have just finished the master bedroom for us and moved in and next is our old room for MIL and we can't do the nursery until after then. It is driving me insane, I have such a long to do list and her new carpet and furniture won't be in until Feb 17th.
Then it is nursery, hallway, stairs and landing, then lounge.
Then want to clear out the garage.
The list just keeps growing the house is full of 30 years of crap.

List maker, checking in!! I haven't been on GBCB in three days because I've been crossing things off my to do and pinning more ideas like a mad woman!
I have my monthly lists of all the bigger projects I want to do every month and I also make daily lists of all the small things I need to do to stay productive. There is no better feeling than running that sharpie line across a task completed. Anyone else guilty of adding things after you've done them so you can cross them off?

[lexisophie55]

We just bought a house on a whim in August, so we're busy still trying to make it home and settle in.

Our list is long and huge But we work on it almost every night. WE LOVE IT!

[mlbrooks]

I am not sure if mine counts as nesting because we are moving 1st of April so we have started to clean/purge/pack. I guess it is kind of nesting though because I usually would slack off on packing til like 2 weeks before the move. We started packing 2 weeks ago.

[staccajaye]

Nope. I'll start nesting in April I imagine. Need a nest first

[katietopaz]

I have a long list, but we're hitting the ground running this week now that the car situation has been figured out!

DH emailed the owner (we rent) about replacing the carpet in the nursery-to-be, so we're waiting to hear back on that. I'm going to take pictures of the furniture in there that we need to get rid of, and hopefully list them on local FB b/s/t pages this afternoon. I bought 4 giant rubbermaid totes from Target that fit in our garage, that we'll use for anything in that guest-room closet that we don't want to trash or donate. I'm limiting it to those four totes - anything beyond that HAS to be donated or trashed. We have too much stuff.

This upcoming weekend the big project is to go through the closet and dresser in that room and get it cleaned the eff up. I can't wait to have that done so we can actually dedicate that space to baby stuff.

I'm in a weird place of feeling overwhelmed by all there is to do, but enjoying getting it all done.

[sunshyneshay]

As I was unpacking, anything that i could not assign to its own "place" was sent off to goodwill or thrown away. that is a big deal for me because DH jokingly calls me a hoarder.

[dukwok]

I spend my time looking at new places to move to on Craiglist, does that count? I want to nest!

THIS. Absolutely. I do it at work too. haha

[mpiemont]

My nesting currently consists of "I have to buy everything we need for the baby/nursery RIGHT NOW. Not tomorrow or next week or after we get paid. NOW! NOW! NOW!" I have placed no less than 5 online orders in less than 1 week.
