I finally, after much consideration, broke down and hired a cleaning service to come next week and give the apartment a thorough spring cleaning to be followed by bi-weekly visits as long as I feel I need the help (I imagine for the first 3 mos the baby's home).
It is so not cheap, but so, soooooooooo worth it. I hired "The Maids" for now, but will ask around for recommendations for independent contractors who might be cheaper. We'll see how they do. They have super-fancy Ghost Buster looking equipment. They might be so thorough that I keep them on, but downgrade to once a month.
I spent hours yesterday surfing the net looking for pretty, sparkly "push presents" even though I won't be pushing. Although I'd love a bauble, not having to lift a finger to clean my house for at least 3 mos was too good to pass up.
Now I just have to bust my ass over the next 2 days to get the apartment decent enough that I'm not humiliated when the crew shows up. Or just hand them a key and run out of the apartment before they see what lies in wait for them. After that, all I should have to worry about are dishes and laundry. BLISS!!!!!

that is really the BEST present. In the beginning there's a lot of adjustment, so it's great to have someone take care of that for you.
Of course- if you want to look at push presents of the sparkly variety... check out generousgems.com that's where John got the baby shoe with the pink stones...
DAMMITDAMMITDAMMIT!!!!
That as what I was going to get you!!!!! (I was going to actually research ceaners in your area TODAY after I caught up on blogs. Been meaning to for a few weeks now, but kept being too lazy.)
