Ok. I am now 38.5 weeks along and I am convinced I am not going to be getting any nesting instinct kicking in anytime soon 🙁 I am still moving at a snail’s pace.
My plan was to relay on it to help me clear out and clean out all the last minute things I wanted to do before the baby comes. But I guess I now have to just force myself to do it.
I wrote to my favourite large family moms group, the Momys Digest to ask if this lack of nesting instinct was normal. And guess what? A few of them did write back and said that what I am feeling is normal and they’d actually gone on to birth without ever having it!
So what I am going to do now is to not fight it. I am just going to pack up my bedroom, where I’ll be doing most of my labouring in and let everything else slide 🙂
If you are visiting us these last weeks leading up to the birth, please don’t faint from the disorder that you see 🙂 It usually isn’t like this, I promise!
And as for school – this is our last week! Yay! My goal is to finish up school by tomorrow and spend Thursday and Friday marking their scripts and making sure corrections are done. Then I can veg out/space out guilt-free! Now let’s see if all this goes according to plan.
