Nesting

Nesting refers to the period of time right before you deliver when you want to get everything done! After months of being tired and feeling as though you are carrying a bowling ball around, you get a giant burst of energy. You wake up feeling refreshed and mentally coiling a list of things to do. What should you do when you are nesting? EVERYTHING! Well, not literally! However, you should take advantage of the burst of energy you are receiving and try to accomplish as much as possible. Make sure the baby's room is ready, your hospital bag is in order and any errands that may come up now until your delivery date. One important thing to remember though is don't overdo it! Do as much as you feel comfortable doing, but take a few short breaks during this time. When you begin nesting, you know delivery time is near!
