This is what I have heard as well.
I remember my sister going through it last year - she was a mad woman! I came over to her house one day to find her 9 months PG sprawled out on the floor cleaning the baseboard moulding with a toothbrush!  She saw dirt that I am not even sure existed

Re: Nesting??
Hopefully it starts soon! I keep looking at the windows and windowsills so one day I need to get motivated to do them!

Re: Nesting??
Just so I can show DH I am not crazy
found this article:
Nesting
Have you noticed that you have the urge to clean everything in sight lately? Are you rushing around your house, completing the ironing, reorganizing the cupboards, or color-coding your wardrobe? If so, then you might be experiencing what is commonly referred to as the nesting instinct. The nesting instinct is a frequent occurrence throughout pregnancy, and is often a sign that you are about to welcome your baby in to the world! But why do pregnant women experience this nesting instinct and is it safe and healthy for you and baby? Here are some of the basics about the nesting experience during pregnancy!
What is the Nesting Instinct?
The nesting instinct is the name given to the distinctive urge to clean, tidy, and organize that occurs during pregnancy. One of the many pregnancy symptoms that you will experience, the nesting instinct generally kicks in around the fifth month of pregnancy, however it can also occur much earlier or much later. Many women acutely experience the nesting instinct in the final days of their pregnancy, and this can often be a sign that labor and delivery is close at hand. Nesting tends to vary from woman to woman; in fact, some women don't experience the nesting instinct at all when they are pregnant. Others experience mild forms of the instinct while others feel the urge much more severely.

Re: Nesting??
My DD was a week late when we came home from a 4th of July party and I had the sudden urge to clean and do laundry. (This was around midnight.) My water broke around 2am (I was still happily cleaning.) She was born at 7am.
That was the extent of any nesting I have ever felt. I am due in two weeks and still do not feel it.

Re: Nesting??
I had 2 bouts of nesting last time. The first was right around my level II. I was setting up the room and making sure the house was baby-safe.
The second one I went nuts cleaning my house with a q-tip and toothbrush...that was about 6 days before I had DC.
