if you haven't told them already, i think now is the time when you need to speak to your in-laws and tell them that you are working. mention it in a very casual way and also emphasize how busy it keeps you and how you now have a life on a daily planned routine. if they are not ready to help out and expect you to take care of all basic household needs, please set expectation clear from the start. you can of course hire a help from an agency for those few months, or better is to plan your time accordingly. also, when they arrive, do your bit as much as you can, without doing too much. speak to your hubby in advance and tell him that you would expect his support and help in this, and that he should also speak to them. the idea is that your in-laws should help out at least with handling the baby, if you are taking care of things in the kitchen while they are here. all the best.
