YAY!!! Are you having contractions? Did you get a good night's sleep? Don't stress too much about the house, but if you're not yet in labor and you feel well-rested, take a little time to clean up your birth space. DO NOT clean your entire house, though...you'll need your energy reserves for labor! Remember, you'll have lots of visitors after baby is born and you can ask them for help with the stuff that didn't get done!!

YAY YAY YAY! I'm so excited for you!! :

Yah...great advice charmie....it still could be a little while before labor kicks in so take it easy. Let the house go..it's ok. Please keep us posted as you can.:

Congratulations, and happy birthing.

I've promised myself I won't worry about the house being a mess when I go into labor. But I've also made DH promise he'll at least make sure the dishes are done. He's under strict instructions to confirm that immediately as soon as I have any hint of labor.

I look forward to hearing about the arrival of your baby!

Yeah, save your energy... you probably don't have much anyhow. *hugs*
Hope your labor goes well and that it is a wonderful rewarding experience for you!

Oh, this sounds familiar! I decided not to stress about the house when my water started leaking... yes, it's still a mess, but I now have an adorable baby. And my stepmom did all the dishes when she came to visit!
