third trimester, little things do help

So I've stocked up on paperplates cause this heat, my ever growing belly, my ankles swelling have made standing and doing dishes just suck. Lol and my husband is so messy, he's one of those people that leaves a dirty plate in whatever room he was last in, and he does not do dishes, laundry or clean up after himself. Sometimes he will but its a half a** job. So with that being said, I plan on after the baby is born on using my crock pot a lot, using those crock pot liners so its way less mess, also eating premade fozen meals. The only thing I want to worry about is minimal dishes in the sink, laundry, and sweeping my floor as far as cleaning my house. . What little things are you doing or will do  to make things easier on yourself if you can?

Paper products rock, anything to make life easier right? I'm going to start stocking up on the cups and plastic ware probably to. I can't stand dishes in the sink and getting two hours of sleep at a time if that is going to be rough, I'm a ftm so I'm trying so hard to prepare for the sleep deprivation that is coming.

I am also stocking up on paper products and things that you can just whip together real easy. With three kids and the fourth on its way I don't know how i'm going to manage everything once the baby is here!

Yeah, I'm asking myself this everyday. I'm now 32 weeks n a stay at home mom already have a 3 year old girl n she is busy one lol... N on top of that cleaning, cooking n doing laundry as well. Its a lot to handle, I always use paper plates... But as far as cooking goes I will cook whenever I can,  but I told my hubby he will most definitely have to give me a hand with things. Because it won't be easy n I'm hoping that he do... :-)

My baby will be 4 weeks tomorrow and I'm still using paper plates!  I was going to make a lot of meals in tin foil pans and freeze them before I went into labor but that never happened!  Lol
