NO worries, your time will be so completely filled soon that you still won't have time for housework. It is amazing how fast it goes by and what comes up. Even last year before I started working I had no time. I thought I would have all this time to get things caught up....nope! I nearly instantly made too many commitments!

Point in fact. Today is my one day off of the week. Mike is at camp which means I don't have to volunteer in his class first thing and would have had the morning off. So instead I end up meeting one girl from work to give her some work stuff this morning and help her find all her new clients, then I added extra volunteer time to Emily's class, then volunteer in David's class, then get to see my therapist for 45minutes of our usual 1 hour, then pick up the kids because it is minimum day.

Plus you have new baby coming soon! I would spend at least a little time these few months when you have a few minutes to yourself on yourself and something you enjoy. I would also start doing stuff to get ready for baby because that will be fun. Oh and I suppose it is sometimes a good time for housework (SHUT UP KITCHEN)!
