I cleaned my house like mad yesterday, (nesting a little!) and then DH came home and started the painting project we've been planning and everything is upside down and covered in drywall dust! I honestly could cry. And we haven't even started refinishing the floors....
Planning this at this stage of pregnancy was probably not the best choice. But then again, doing it when the kids were all home wouldn't have worked out so well either. I guess I'll have to suck it up, and confine my cleaning to the upstairs and downstairs, and hope that the mess stays mostly on the main floor. We were talking about doing a stencil design on the floor of the dining room (it's a wood floor), but right now I am just hoping that the whole project can be finished as quickly as possible! The kids come home from my mom's tomorrow, and then are going camping with DH's parents on Monday. It's going to be a little bit crazy, I think.
I have my home visit with the midwife next week, and get my bag of "medical" home birth supplies to keep ready. I hope we'll be able to find somewhere to sit!
Our list of stuff to prep includes towels and clothing and washcloths that are supposed to be put in the dryer on high heat, and then sealed up in bags and labeled. I have never done that for any of my home birth babies, and am not planning on doing it this time, but every time I feel kind of guilty - like I didn't do my homework or something! I find that all that little overdone - I have freshly washed stuff sitting ready for me and baby, along with lots of clean towels and washcloths available - but the midwives just re-did the list of supplies, and this is still on it, with thorough instructions. Does anyone else have stuff like that they are supposed to prep? What did you do?
