i think it's usually 3 or so nights in a row!  But yeah it's freaking huge outside!  Hey atleast if he is drunk and your in labor, you could brake his hand from your pain and he wouldn't be complaining, until later LMAO!!

I only had nesting with my first daughter and quite frankly, I was already in labor, but didn't know it.  It was the day before my due date and I had been out with DH during the day running errands and kept having pains every 20 minutes or so.  Later in the evening, I decided to go shopping, because I was bored.  While I was there, I ran into someone I knew and they had asked when I was going to have the baby.  I distinctly remember saying that based on how I felt that day, it must be coming tonight.  Since you have so many aches and pains at the end, I didn't know what was "real" and what wasn't.

I came home with bags of sheets, towels and other unneeded items - - stuff I would never buy "just because".  I walked in the door, threw the bag on the floor in the corner and tried going to bed.  Never did fall asleep due to the pains, so I got up and stayed up all night, having pains about 7-8 minutes apart.  Around 5:00 am, I finally woke up DH and told him to take me to the hospital, and sure enough, I was 5 cm.... :)

So for me, I nested while I was in the early stages of labor...

Gosh, he needs to be smacked!  My husband is more than willing to "help" get the baby out!  Ahahaha!  Besides, what does he think...the baby will see his penis?  LOL  What a weirdo!  LMAO  I could see it now, you get him drunk and then you go into labor....omg...that would be bad, oh well.
