All my books mention that nesting is normal. That uncontrollable urge - no, NEED - to have things cleaned and organized. The inability to not leave things just laying around.
I firmly believe that this is the one symptom A is the most frustrated with.
Internets, I have found a solution: plan a move!
When we came East, the complex we moved in to had no available 2 bedrooms. It was our first choice, but since the complex and location couldn't be beat, we agreed to take a 1 bedroom. The girl who handled our lease said she would keep an eye out for a 2 bedroom at the end of our lease and see if they could move us.
Well, we signed a 1 year lease, which ends on April 15th. And our new 2 bedroom will be available on April 16th.
So this need to organize and clean is being fully met as I pack during the day, and watch A lug boxes down to our storage unit in anticipation of this coming weekend.
And right on track, we'll be in a place where the baby will have his own room just in time for me to need to decorate and redecorate the apartment until I am too pooped to do it again.
Now, if only I could stop dusting the empty shelves over and over again...
