Nesting?

Not sure if it's this "nesting" thing, or if my laziness is wearing off (I hope so), but watch out!  This house is clean.  I have been cleaning things I've never cleaned before.  Cleaning was Mike's deal pre-pregnancy.  I purposely picked up shifts on the weekends because that's when Mike does his best cleaning.  I would come home from a day's work and the house would be spotless.  I loved it.  Mike is a very thorough cleaner, but easily distracted.  He cannot multi-task, but he gets the job done.  Recently I've taken over the cleaning duties.  I've swept the floors more in the past two months than I have since we moved in.  I'm really passionate about loading/unloading the dishwasher.  I have to stop myself from huffing bleach when I'm cleaning the bathroom (ahh smells so good).  Last week I vacuumed out my husband's car and cleaned it out.  I've been on top of my laundry pile - the other day I washed/dried/and put away my clothes... all in one evening... which is unbelievable for me.  Typically I get them washed and dried, then let them hang out in the laundry basket for a couple days until I get around to putting them away.  My goal is to keep this house clean enough so that someone could unexpectedly stop by and it would be presentable.  I hope this isn't all due to nesting... I love this new person that wants to clean.  I feel so much better about myself when my surroundings are in order.  Here's a picture of my cleaning buddy, perched on the couch waiting for something to happen:
