going crazy cleaning
For those of you who have older kids, are you trying to keep up/going crazy cleaning/nesting or are you giving up at this point? All summer my house was completely spotless even with my kids home.
I am going to be 33 weeks tomorrow. I have my c section scheduled for 38 w 4 days (high risk so they wanted me to deliver between 37 and 38 weeks...).
At this point i feel like I have nothing left to give other than what i absolutely have to. I take good care of my 2 older kids and cook and clean when it absolutely needs to be done. My husband is so loving and understanding about things not getting done.
But I am starting to feel a little stressed. My mil will be watching my kids while i am in the hospital which is a huge blessing but she is much neater than i am. The downstairs of my house isn't too bad but upstairs is a wreck.
Do i just let it slide and say screw it and let her see the mess and catch up in like 2 months once life has calmed down, 😄 or do I try to work up the energy to clean it all so it's spotless before baby comes?
Lol I know she won't say anything to me because we have fought about my house being less than spotless before.... but she will tell her friends/relatives if it's a mess, which she has done in the past. It annoys me because my house is usually clean but having like 5 appointments a week has taken all my energy lately.
My in-laws are coming this weekend because of my baby shower and i am already stressed about cleaning up to make it look more presentable but I just don't know if I'll have the deep cleaning energy soon..
