Kim and Aggie ain't got no dirt on me!

Been up since 3am this morning unable to sleep. Haven't stopped cleaning until now (only because I have taken a hot flush, going to get back to it after this short break ).

For the past few weeks I have been so exhausted to the point I cried (mostly due to being in false labour); now I am bursting with energy!

Driving the cat mad and clock watching so when my wonderful husband's alarm goes off I can take him sausage sandwiches in bed

Been thinking the whole time 'I wonder how long to go now' (Not due for another 5 1/2 weeks but due to false labour had steroid injections to mature baby's lungs 'just in case').

How long before labour did you/your other half start to nest/get the energy burst?

My better half was the same, the house was immaculate and I got many cups of tea in bed before going to work, so there are the upsides for us men, certainly no bursts of energy now, our 2 yr old daughter put an end to that!! but we wouldn't change it for the world

All the best with your delivery

louise has just been getting these fake pains that you are talking about, think she called it practice pains?

she just 6 months gone now, so I hope there only practice pains.

good luck

jamo

Thanks Mr Munkii!

It is strange how it messes with our minds. Never once would I have dreamed of getting out of bed to clean!


Jamo, I sympathise. These practise pains (Braxton Hicks) can get quite sore! On the other hand, she may have a decent pain threshold and needn't worry too much; I am just a big wimp Good luck with the pregnancy, I hope mum and baby keep well (remember to pamper mum!)

Good Luck Claire, I was nesting from about 7½ months if it wasn't in the right place there was trouble
seems like only yesterday when in fact it was almost 3 years ago!

eClaire

Deary me! That's an awfully long time to be cleaning! Thanks for informing me that it could be a long haul

'Nesting' lol ure not a bunch of birds yknow, well u are, but yknow what I mean

ajm

It cracks me up the lengths women go to make sure they conform to stereotypical pregnancies!

sti-04!!

Mines is allergic to housework

Claire if you have finished yours, you can always come & clean my place

eClaire

LOL! Believe me, I would normally much rather stay in bed! It's awful lying there unable to sleep with my head buzzing of things about the house that annoy me!

Nah, Imlach, he opted for porridge instead

Stephen, clean it yourself you lazy git

sti-04!!

I will pay yer taxi fare, wont be that much

The last 6-9 weeks are the worst Claire! I also had the steroid injections for Rachel last year but she arrives bang on her due date not like the other 2!

I hated the sleepless nights and the "nesting" but the house did look better for it!

All the best

Sorry eclaire, I never had the nesting instinct with any of mine. When number 3 came along I was too knackered to clean. Youngest was 15 days late so you could have more cleaning days left than you think!

I can't help thinking that is such a poor choice of words



(As I harp back to the days when my mind was more innocent )

Cheers AJ and Mrs WRX.

Every pregnancy is different they say. He seems to think he will be a daddy by the weekend; I, on the otherhand, am a little more sceptical!


Ali, trust you to lower the tone

sti-04!!

If you are nesting, why the hell are you on here instead of cleaning ???

Get back to it & stop skiving

Philip Attaway

He stirred the porridge instead

My house is a mess but you can be sure she aint getting pregnant just so I can get it tidy!
Good luck with it all e-claire

eClaire

LOL DMC

Stephen, in case you hadn't noticed; I said I was at it from 3am this morning. It's now 12 noon

sti-04!!

I didnt notice, not like me is it

dmc1980

So how clean is the house now?

CooperS

I'm sorry, but who in their right mind would opt for porridge over sausage snarlers?

sti-04!!

Depends on how sloppy he likes it

Mrs WRX

Me!!!!! I hate sausages (and by that I mean the product and not any nudge nudge wink wink references). Not too keen on porridge but out of the two, porridge wins. Now if you were talking bacon butties........
