Here’s how blogger Adam Hansen (www.New-Dad-Blog.com) describes his brush with nesting madness. “I have become obsessed with cleaning and organizing. It’s more than a conscious thought, ‘Oh, the counter is dirty, I need to clean it.’ It’s a compulsion, which once fed, spreads. I will start cleaning the counter, only to notice the dishes need to be unloaded, then I see that under the sink is disorganized, then trash needs to be taken out, which takes me to sweeping the floor . . . and it’s impossible to stop. I want to clean, disinfect and organize the world! If I let myself go wild I’d be at home all day with cleaning gloves on. None of this is helped by my wife’s unique cleaning methods. She apparently subscribes to ‘Shove it in a Drawer’ cleaning magazine. So when I open our kitchen cabinet and I find recipes, batteries, head sets, iPods, stationery, plates . . . my nesting-infected brain almost short-circuits.”

Sex—Again

While the second trimester is frequently a time of increased sexual desire and activity, during the third trimester your sex life is bound to suffer. The most common reasons for this are:

A mutual fear of hurting the baby or your partner.

Fear that your partner’s orgasm might trigger premature labor.

Your partner’s physical discomfort.

Your partner’s changing body makes the “usual” sexual positions uncomfortable.

Your sense of changing roles. Soon your partner will no longer simply be your partner; she’s going to be a mother—someone just like your own mother. Remember that as she begins to see you as a father, she may have similar (often subconscious) thoughts.
