    CRicket - yep! and i went to 41 weeks so my house got cleaned over and over... AT the start of labour, i was hanging clothes on the line (at 10pm at night) so the midwife didn't see my basket of wet washing!

    Dont you love those crazy things we do in labor.. I had a hospy birth with DD1, my waters broke with a gush as i was walking from the en-suite back to the bed... DH went to get the middy and when they came back in to the room i was on my hands and knees mopping up the carpet.. Middy thought it was hilarious!

    cricket: oh yes! i was super crazy with the cleaning. i had this thing where everything had to be 'birth ready'. i couldnt stand the idea of birthing somewhere cluttered or dirty: which is hard with a toddler, DH, mother, dog and two cats hahahaha. also i was super crazy about the toilet. had to be sparkling at all times. poor DH really got hounded over that one
