I understand how counting kicks could stress some ppl out. The fact that someone I knew had the worst scenario happen to her is why I do count and encourage others.
mustloveerica, that's literally the last thing I'd want to do right now, especially considering the other events you're already planning. Also, totally get not wanting your MIL to set up camp in your house forever. I'm relieved that it sounds like mine isn't planning on being around a ton after baby is born. I want my mom to stay with us for a couple of days and then that's it.
ladytiffany24, TWO weeks of your MIL? I'm so sorry... I would need all the alcohol.

mustloveerica, you are NOT a bad wife. That's too much for a normal person let alone someone who's pregnant with twins. I certainly hope he understands your thoughts and feelings and why you're unable to help much.

He doesn't care. He's an extremely easy going guy to begin with. Which is why we are a good match. I'm wound pretty tightly all the time. So I hate having parties because I feel like everything has to be perfect (house immaculate, food to feed an army, dogs well behaved,etc). So like he called in sick to work today and he's cleaning the carpets and stuff (because I also have this irrational fear of my house smelling like my pets) so that I don't have to stress about it. He really is the best. I just feel like I should want to put a little more effort into his party. But I'm all meh about it.

Are you me?! I'm the exact same way when it comes to my house and just being kind of wound pretty tightly most of the time. My H is also the laid back one which helps to balance us out. I only wish my H would do more cleaning around the house like yours does. I'm jealous! lol
I've been cleaning, moving stuff, and packing the car for about 2 hours. I want to make sure the house is clean and semi organized before we leave on Monday. It is H's last day at work before baby comes. We're so close!

He doesn't do a TON of cleaning. I mostly do the cleaning because I'm so anal about it. But he can tell when I start to get stressed out and then he'll ask me what I want him to do. Or like today he literally asked for a honey do list and a grocery list haha. He does all of the laundry tho so I give him major points for that. It works out because he watches his sports in the basement where the washer/dryer is so he can get all the laundry done during a football game.
