deal with it

Around 38 weeks I decided to get the house realy clean and ready for baby, since then it has been a battle to try to keep it that way, thinking every day that she could be here any time. Keep in mind that this is with a house full of toddlers for my daycare on a daily basis. Today I say, "if she hasn't come by now at 41 weeks she will just have to come home to a sink of dishes and unswept floor because I am pooped! Deal with it!"

Anybody else struggling to keep their fully nested and prepped house clean while waiting for baby to show?

Re: deal with it

  • i have definitely had a fall in my nesting and a raise in my desire to rest - and I don't have a house full of toddlers!

  • Me! But I don't have toddlers to chase around and clean up after..its mostly FI. I don't know how its so hard to just put a dish in the dishwasher instead of the sink...

  • I have my husband who is crunching chips over the newly vacuumed (for the 100th time) floor...I feel like Monica from friends trying to keep everything neat and tidy!

  • You are so funny!  I'm with ya.  I have a golden retriever who is shedding and loves to chew things up as soon as I finish the floors.  I swear if I don't dust every day it looks like the place has been abandoned for months.  It's exhausting.

    I finally decided that little girl will not look at me and ask to go back to the hospital if the house is not immaculate.

  • My mom and grandmother came last week and cleaned, like baseboards to ceiling fans so I feel like I've gotta keep it that way but like some others have mentioned, I don't understand why its so hard to put a dish in the dishwasher or even the sink would be good instead of the bar. It doesn't help that we're packing this place up and have 2 big inside dogs. The lab, much like someone's golden, sheds and I definately feel like I'm fighting a loosing battle with vaccuming.
