So I am sitting at my computer, looking around. There are cheerios all over the floor, dishes in the sink, the stairs haven't been vacuumed in ....a long time, there are at least 4 loads of laundry to be done, 3 more that are cleaned but need folding, DD's room is filled with toys (no organization just EVERYWHERE), a useless shelf, a broken dresser, her bed plus her old toddler bed. That room, which needs to be made 'unisex' is still hot pink.
Baby to be has no bed for now, no car seat, his clothes are still in the shopping bags I brought them home in, I have THREE cloth diapers and no disposable. My room is a write-off, the 'linen' closet has everything in it but linen, the car needs to be cleaned out to FIT another car seat into. There's a lot to do!
Where is my nesting instinct? Where is that burst of energy and the undeniable urge to clean everything? The only urge I have is to nap! While other pregnant women I know have had their nurseries ready since 25 weeks, I am sitting here with six weeks to go and nothing done.
With DD I moved in mid-January before an April birth, by March I made sure everything was unpacked, the room was painted (my sister did that one, she had some sympathy nesting), the furniture was set up, the clothes were washed, things were organized, and re-organized and everything was calm. This time around I have no motivation. I know it NEEDS to be done, I state all the time that it needs to be done. But I am learning that no matter how much you talk about it, it actually takes effort to clean.
I've gotta say, I'm feelin' a little jipped.
haha, welcome to the nesting instincts of pregnancy #2! Mine kicked in late anyway! You're also way more tired because you're taking care of a 2yr old all day long. You'll do great and you'll figure it out. Lyla's room still isn't "complete" and she's 9 months old! Corbin's was raring to go and perfect (to me anyway) weeks before he arrived.
