Someone please sedate me!

One word...NESTING!!!! I was never this bad when I was pregnant with my girls. I really think I'm borderline neurotic now. I still have over 3 months left, but I am already not a very patient person, then when you add a looming due date...well, let's just say I'm not sleeping well lately. I have to figure out a way to squeeze Isabelle into Brooklynn's room, including another twin bed, dresser and her clothes and shoes. (Don't bother suggesting a bunk bed because Russ is highly against them). Plus, Brooklynn's room is also the play-room with all the toys, crafts and dress-up items. So I need to figure out how to fit everything in there and still leave a little open space to play. Our master bedroom already doubles as our office and will also have the bassinet for the first few months...and the "nursery" is also our deisgnated storage room with filing cabinets, my craft and scrapbook supplies (which I never have time to do anymore but I am too cheap to throw them out), book shelves, crib, baby gear and the new baby's clothes. I know I sound whiney, but I AM truly grateful for all the comforts we have that may lead to a rather cramped house. I just wish I could find a way to make it all fit...and I wish I didnt have to rely on other people to get it all done. Russ keeps getting after me for "over-doing it" by hauling boxes and moving furniture...and I know he's right...it's just this strange need to get everything in place and organized, like, NOW. Aaaargh!! Did any of you have major nesting issues?
