My newest fear/stress...

NFL_WifeNFL_Wife
in 3rd Trimester

I woke up in the middle of the night and had the sudden thought that I could go into labor pretty much any time now, and my house is a MESS! Seriously, my house is always spotless, but the past few months I've been working full time and DH and DS have been home full time together- well you can imagine that DH's idea of "clean" and my idea of clean are much, much different...

So now I am stressing that I am going to go into labor and have to call a friend over to watch DS, and my house will be a mess. I am sitting here at work making lists of things that need to be cleaned, like, tonight!!!

Guess I am list-nesting? LOL

    Yep sounds like the final nesting deep clean is in your near future!

    I'm right there with you. I did some serious cleaning yesterday, even moving our sofas to steam-clean the floors underneath! Otherwise I'd totally be trying to get it all done while breathing through my contractions. lol.

    I have to get the zillion loads of laundry done...ok..so maybe theres not a zillion...but there might as well be. My floors done and grocery shop...super grocery shop...all before wed.  Which is plenty of time..but thinking about it stresses me.

    your friend should understand...a spotless house is not your priority right now....it doesnt make you a bad parent to be.

    I feel the same way!! My mom is coming over Saturday to help me with the "deep cleaning" I feel needs to get done! lol, I think maybe we are both over reacting, but if it makes us feel better!!

    Good luck!!

    I'm on bedrest, and the way DH cleans is good - but not up to par with my standards, so I actually JUST scheduled Merry Maids to come to my house next week. I'm going to have DH take the dogs to daycare and have the house cleaned.... it will help my sanity.

    LOL I never said my friend wouldn't understand, or that it makes me a bad parent. Just saying I want to clean my house.

    It's amazing how everything can get taken out of context on this board...

    i totally understand!  my house is clean now after looking like a tornado came through and all i want is for it to stay in order.  it's the one thing i feel like will get me out of whack.  i just don't want to come home to chaos.  maybe it's the only thing we have control over at this point so we focus on that....or maybe it's a nesting thing...or maybe we just want a clean house for when we get home! i told dh we really have to stay on top of it, clean up after ourselves and keep it the way it is right now.  i might go crazy if it gets to be a mess again!

    eta: oh, and now that it's clean, i feel ready...you will too.

    I love LIST-NESTING!!! I am a obsessive compulsive list maker, there are post-its all over my house. The only problem I have is actually doing what is on my list.
