🛋️ She rearranged the nursery at 11pm

Her brain is signalling that time is running out and the environment is not safe enough yet. Fighting it makes you the enemy of the process; joining it makes you part of the solution.

▸The physiology behind it

Nesting is a real, hormonally driven compulsion — prolactin and estradiol peak near delivery and trigger environment-preparation behaviour documented across mammals. It cannot be postponed neurologically; it completes when the environment feels ready.

▸What to do, in order

  1. Join her. Hold things, pass things, move what she points at.
  2. Zero editorialising — no opinions on feng shui at midnight.
  3. When she finishes, compliment the result. Whatever it looks like.
Never say

"Can't this wait until morning?" It cannot. Neurologically.
