1Yr Olds

She needs your love and attention. Pick her up. Love on her. Hug and kiss her. Play games with her. She is still a baby and needs her mama. Cleaning can wait. Do your stuff when she is sleeping or when Dad is home to attend to her needs or hire a sitter/have a friend over to help you with her.

ETA - I think using videos to keep a child busy OCCASIONALLY is ok....but NOT everyday and NOT a 1yo. Not developmentally appropriate.

My first two were 12 months and 5 days apart so I had a baby when pregnant really. I carried him and held him a lot but also had him play on the floor and sat by him sometimes or put him in his room to play with a gate up where he could see me. I sat down to hold him some if I was tired, etc. Your daughter needs love and attention and being carried some but you can entertain her on the floor some too. Play, then put her where she's safe to learn to play alone some too. She'll learn and she is just little still. When the baby comes you'll be happy you taught her that you love her and hold her and yet she is okay to play alone sometimes. It will most likely be harder after the baby if she's having to cry for your attention and you will also need to adjust to two so enjoy her now, remember to still give her lots of attention and love after the baby too.

I have experienced a similar situation when my daughter was younger, she followed me all through the house all day, I was not pregnant but I have a bad back, and she always wanted to be picked up :) My daughter is autistic, but doing the following with any young child can help them feel better about being left alone to play while mom is busy.... Get into their world for a bit... play with them, sing songs, read, or what ever THEY like to do. When you play with them, or give them attention in this way, it usually satisfies them, at least for a while, so you can do those things around the house. I also bought the Baby Can Read system for her, which is marvelous, she loved watching the videos while I did house work :) No shame in using a good educational video to keep your little one still so you can get things done ;)

A one year old is still very much a baby, so she still needs lots of cuddling and attention.
She also needs lots of stimulation, so make sure you take her out every day, on a walk, to the park, in the backyard, whatever. That will make her happy and wear her out.
You can get your housework done in short time frames throughout the day, while the baby is napping, in her swing (or bouncy or whatever you have) and after your husband gets home.
You can do some light cleaning in the bathroom while she takes a bath, and some cleaning in the kitchen while she's in her highchair.
And MAKE SURE you get a break too! Daddy can stay with baby while you go to the store, or out for a workout or walk or coffee with friends on his evenings/days off.

Sometimes it helps to keep the little one moving with you throughout the house. You don't have to carry her necessarily. You can just say, "Let's go into the kitchen now. I'll help you carry your toy in there." or "I'm going into the living room now. Do you want to come with me?" Also taking a moment here and there to sit down in whatever room you are in and put her on your lap for a few minutes can help. I keep a stool in the kitchen that is pretty well grounded so the kids can climb it without it tipping and see what I'm doing even if they are too young really to help. If she's steady enough on her feet, she can play with dishes in a sink full of water. Good luck!

Sounds like my situation six years ago. I was pregnant with my son. My 1 yr old daughter was high needs (always had to be rocked to sleep, always wanted to be held). I just held her. She may need the extra attention with the baby coming. She was heavy but I did it. My neighbor used to laugh at me (in a nice way) for carrying her around. I'm glad I did it.
