Nesting?

So, here I am two days shy of 39 weeks pregnant.  I have been waiting for something to change and feel different somehow.  But so far there's been nothing, no sign that I'm even close to going into labor; I'm not even having Braxton Hicks.  I keep being told by other people that I'm "nesting."  I haven't been able to help but roll my eyes each time I've heard it so far.  Sure... doing dishes and laundry after it gets backed up a few days is really nesting, right?  It seems that any normal housekeeping task to non-pregnant people suddenly counts as "nesting."  But, I haven't had any strange desire to wash my soap dispenser with soap or randomly dust with Q-tips.  So far I've felt pretty normal, until tonight.

My day started out with shopping for a few essentials at Costco.  When I came home, around noon, I was exhausted and took a three hour nap.  I felt a little better when I woke up and had more energy.  I actually made a meal for dinner (I've been lazy this week and we've only eaten what's quick and easy to make).  I then decided to catch up on all the dishes, open and clean my new coffee maker, make banana bread, and sew two nursing covers.  I would keep going, I need to repack my hospital bag and do some sewing on my new curtains, but it's already midnight.

So, the real question is, am I really nesting?  Everything I did tonight were things I had been planning on doing for a while.  From my understanding, true nesting comes only a few days before labor.  That may be the one sign I get that I'll be starting labor soon and I'm still not completely sure that's really what it was!  I guess I'll just have to continue being patient until it actually happens.
