Cleaning the house being pregnant with a 13 month old!

It has taken me 13 months to start realizing a rutene that works for me and my family,, its hard when your life changes with a newborn, everything chages!, what you do whatever you do..
13 months ago I had a little girl, Perfect, ended up staying in the hospital for a week as I was severly anemic, once I got home my whole time I was running around after my little girl, making sure she was fed, making sure she was clean,  dry, wearing something comfy, but this whole time i never stopped and tought,, "what do I need?"
now in the new year of 2014 I was diagnosed with hypothyrodism, I was having severe shaking and feeling terrible, I started on medication that made me very drowsy and tired all the time, and i felt the house was getting dirtier by the second and my little girl not getting the attention she deserved.
So I decided do plan ahead, do what i can when I can. And changed my attitute, now while my girl is awake i play with her sing to her, put her in her highchair and let her watch me do the dishes,  she loves to watch me sweep and mop too, i sing to her while i fold the laundry and so when she is awake I do the cleaning and the same time spend time with her! and omy ! now the 1-2 hours she sleeps in the day ( varies from day to day)  I have a cuppa tea, relax , do a bit of crocheting , have a long bath (having the door open to make sure i hear her wake up), and just recharge myself!, I feel 10x better for it, and the house hasnt been this clean since we moved in , and ive never cooked meals this many days on the trot :)
loving my new lifestyle!, and it still gives me time to meet up with friends and take my daughter to play in the children center


have a good day people xx
