Having a baby…
Changes everything. I know this to be true, as I just had my third. With each baby changes were made in my household and in myself. I believe this one will be no different. One of the changes I have noticed in myself, that seems to come on almost immediately but slowly fade away is that of being a better housekeeper. It’s the nesting thing I guess. I want everything clean and neat. Maybe it’s the constant visitors to see the new baby, or a need to have everything around the new little one clean, but for some reason for a few weeks or so I’m a regular June Cleaver. Unfortunately, it doesn’t last.
I am trying to figure out for the life of me how I can keep that quality around for longer. But normally things tend to get busier as the baby grows, and is able to go with us and resume normal life rather than staying home so much with a newborn as we do at the beginning.
Has anyone else noticed this? Or is it just me?

Oh yeah, my house looks like a tornado hit it! It was nice and clean for so long, then the twins got bigger and were into EVERYTHING!
Nope it’s not just you. I’m the same way!
I am the same way, I recall keeping to together easier when the boys were babies. It seems like each time I get into a groove and keep the house clean something changes, child learns to walk and therefore make messes, etc and I fall behind. Speaking of which my goof off time is up, time to get to my long to do list today.
