I am seriously wondering what is wrong with me right now. I am waiting for my pregnancy nesting phase to begin, and it just won't happen. I have so much to do, and I have no motivation whatsoever. I am just plain and simply tired. Those of you who know me well know that I am usually out-of-control and can't sit down. I guess that I still can't sit down, but I don't really have the desire to do anything.
Devin is still in the crib -- we need to buy him a bed and repaint and redo his room. I still have several framing projects that I have to finish in the next couple of weeks; I have not done any school shopping; I'm still finishing up with piano lessons; my "to do list" keeps growing everyday and I don't feel the desire to do any of it. Not only have I lost my desire to do anything, but I started to finally feel a little nausea.
A little side story about my nausea: I was teaching a cute little 7-year-old girl piano. Towards the end of the lesson, she sneezed and blood came spurting out of her nose. I took one look at her and started dry-heaving. It was so gross! I guess that she had a bloody nose before she came to the lesson, and it wasn't totally dried up. I tried really hard to be nice and positive, but I couldn't even help her clean it up. I felt so bad!
Anyway, our schedules are usually packed. But, last week after the kids' soccer games, we finally had a Saturday free to get things done, and I just couldn't move. I ended up lying down most of the day. It was so disappointing for me not to see things getting knocked off of my "to do list." I ended up reading and doing Sudoku number puzzles. Definitely not like me!
So my ultimate question is: How do I start this nesting phase?

I say you start by delegating things to others and give yourself a break. Maybe seeing some progress will help you to feel the motivation and like the task isn't completetly daunting.
We could have a blogger painting party at your house :)
I love it that you spent Saturday lying down reading and doing Soduku puzzles. This baby is doing you a favor and telling you to slow down! The nesting phase will probably kick in a little closer to your due date and once the boys are in school. Summer is a crazy time and you've been all over the place, you're tired and you have every right to be!
As for the piano student sneezing blood and making you dry heave, that's just plain funny.
You start the nesting phase by calling in your friends- duh! What do you need? I'm going school supply shopping this week, can I pick things up for you? I could keep Devin, the very cute terror, while you take boys clothes shopping. Blogger paint party- how fun would that be?!!! So, get this nesting thing started by giving me a call!
You guys are hilarious and extremely kind at the same time. I just took a 3 hour nap and feel so much better (although I haven't assessed the damage to my house, yet).
Oh Miss Jana...I hate to tell you this but maybe your body is just telling you to take it easy.
The time will come when you will probably nest and you will get everything done that is necessary. Hang in there!!
P.S. What is SOduku? I have seen so many games out there and have no idea what it is? Am I just out of it?
Sudoko is a number puzzle game -- almost like crossword puzzles. My mom gave me some to do on the airplane, and they are very addicting.
I agree with everyone else. And I don't think this heat is helping you. I was lucky enough to have both my babies in April, so I never had to go through a summer pregnant. The heat drains all my energy and I'm not pregnant. Don't overdo, let people help you!
How nice that you are always so productive that it makes people happy when you can take a break! I'm sure once school gets going you will kick back into the swing of things. Relax and enjoy having a really good excuse to lay down and read.
How wonderful that you could rest, read, and do puzzles! This little baby is helping you to take care of yourself for a change.
Call in the troops for help! I agree with Jill, once the boys are in school, you may find you have more energy for your to-do list (or more time for a nap!). And, I don't usually start nesting in earnest until about a month before the end.
