Nest building suggests pregnancy and she's close, but not always. First thought for most people is pregnancy when you say nest building. It may just be her "schtick"

We have one girl who does this, and always has done (she's definitely not pregnant!). Give her anything and she takes it to their bed, and god forbid another 'gu takes it out, they incur her wrath! I think some of them are just hoarders!

Just to confirm, her "schtick" means her thing or something she does to comedic effect, whether intentional or otherwise...so I agree :-P
