Jessica Alba has revealed she’s nesting in advance of giving birth to her first child early this summer.

The Fantastic Four star moved into a new home late last year and she told People magazine this week: “I’m just trying to get my house ready before the baby comes.”

“It’s kind of hectic, [the birth’s] getting close and the house isn’t even ready yet.”

“[But] I’m not working so it’s been a good place to put all my energy so it’s been a nice distraction.”

“I’m used to having to be somewhere all the time, and it’s kind of the first time in my life where I really haven’t been working in a while, and now it’s just about the baby being healthy, the house being ready, and nesting, it’s really different.”

“It’s cool - I feel like I’m fully absorbing the whole experience.”

But there is one part of pregnancy that she’s finding tricky - eating: “I have to make sure that I’m eating more of the right nutrients and vitamins, but I’m not used to eating this much.”

“I’ve had to take time out of the day to eat before I get cranky and rundown and tired. Before I was just like the energizer bunny.”
