First off, b’ sha’ah tovah! This is a very happy moment in the life of a couple, as they prepare to welcome their first child into the world.
I’d suggest that if you can reasonably afford hired help (I’m sure you can hire help for between $12 and $15 an hour, and assuming that you only need 4 hours a week, that would be $60 a week, which is the cost of eating out in a restaurant for 2, many times, or the cost of morning DD or Starbuck’s for the week), do so. Maybe you can continue doing some housework and only hire a cleaning lady twice a month?
