Getting Organized for Baby: Nesting Without Feeling Overwhelmed

Nesting. It’s that unstoppable urge to make everything just right before baby arrives. Maybe it looks like reorganizing the entire kitchen at 3 a.m., scrubbing baseboards you never noticed before, or finally putting together that baby swing that’s been in the box for weeks.
But here’s the thing—nesting doesn’t always look like Pinterest perfection. Sometimes it feels more like staring at a pile of baby clothes and wondering how you’re supposed to fold them when your brain can’t even pick a snack right now.
And that’s okay! Nesting isn’t about being perfectly prepared—it’s about creating a space that makes you feel comfortable, calm, and ready to welcome your little one.
What Is Nesting, Really?
Nesting is your brain’s way of saying, “Hey, let’s get our act together before everything changes!” It’s a totally normal part of pregnancy that can hit you at any time. Some people feel it early on, while others get that sudden burst of energy in the final weeks.
For some, getting organized for baby means cleaning and rearranging. For others, it’s crafting decor, setting up the nursery, or figuring out how to make that tiny closet work for your growing family, or even painting an ambitious mural of the Hobbit's Shire.
But not everyone experiences nesting as this focused, productive energy. Sometimes, it’s just feeling overwhelmed by all the things you think you “should” be doing. And that’s where I come in.
Why I Started Offering Nesting Support
I love organizing spaces. Seriously, give me a room full of baby gear, and I’m in my element. I also really enjoy following directions—whether it’s assembling that IKEA crib or following your vision for a cozy, organized space.
A while back, I was chatting with a mom-to-be who mentioned how overwhelmed she felt trying to set up her space. She struggled with ADHD and found it hard to break down the massive list of things to do. We talked about how I could help her in a way that felt less stressful—like taking on the big projects and creating a plan that made sense for her brain.
That conversation made me realize that not everyone gets that satisfying “let’s-do-all-the-things” energy during nesting. Sometimes, it’s just… a lot. And that’s why I offer my Woven Nesting Package—because I know that feeling of staring at a mess and not knowing where to start.
How the Woven Nesting Package Works
Whether you’re someone who loves nesting but needs help with the practical stuff (like putting together that nursery furniture) or someone who feels completely stuck and overwhelmed, I’m here to help.
Here’s what I can do:
Organization Overhaul: We’ll sort through baby clothes, set up diaper stations, and create functional spaces that make sense.
Crafty Touches: Want a custom mural or DIY baby decor? I’ve got you! I love making spaces feel special and personal.
Furniture Assembly: Got a crib that’s still in the box? I’ll put it together for you—no frustration required.
Personalized Planning: We’ll chat about what feels most daunting and come up with a game plan that works for you—especially if you’re someone who struggles with organizing or feeling overwhelmed.
It’s not just about making the space look good; it’s about making it work for your life. And I promise, we’ll make it fun along the way!
What If You Need a Bit More?
If you’re also feeling anxious about labor and birth (because, hey, that’s a whole other ballgame), check out my Unraveled Birth Package. It’s all about getting you mentally and physically prepared for the big day—with some nesting support sprinkled in.
Sometimes, prepping for birth and getting your space ready go hand in hand. We’ll make sure you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
Nesting doesn’t have to mean doing everything yourself. Whether you’re bursting with energy or feeling totally drained, having someone who gets it—and who loves organizing—can make a huge difference.
If the idea of decluttering, decorating, or just getting stuff done makes you want to hide under a blanket, reach out. We’ll turn that nesting chaos into a cozy, welcoming space that feels totally you.
Ready to make your space feel like home for you and your baby?
Let’s nest together!
