Possibly moving...

sakiraharrison

So my boyfriend picks me up from work on Friday night and says that he's looking at a house on Wednesday and we might be moving soon. I'm happy because it's s beautiful home in a wonderful area, and it's less than 5 minutes away from my grandma (who I love with every ounce of my being) but I'm actually really upset that I just finished settling in with all of Baby's things and now we have to pick up and move. Honestly, what I'm most upset about is that I spent an hour hanging up new curtains all by myself when I could've just waited lol. I guess I just need some encouraging words, I felt so prepared, but now I know I'll be scrambling to get things together last minute.

Just take it one day at a time. Anything that doesn't get finished before baby comes will get done eventually. Congrats on possibly moving!!!

We're moving 8/1 (because our current rental refused to address a black mold problem for several months, so it was definitely not a planned move). I have baby's room all set up here and now I'm going to have to do everything over again at the new place, and doing that so close to my due date (9/6) kind of freaks me out. What I keep telling myself is that I would probably be feeling stress to be ready whether we were moving or not, and this way I'll have things to actually work on and not go crazy scrubbing floorboards with a toothbrush or something. And if it's not all done the baby won't mind! Good luck, this is going to be a crazy home stretch but it sounds like your new house will be better in the long run for your family so take 1 thing at a time and enjoy it!

I'm moving in a week but knew it was coming so I hadn't set anything up here. Definitely stressful moving when you have so little energy but don't let that overshadow how awesome it is to be close to gma and in a nice new place! I like what the pp said about being stressed anyway and now having some projects to actually work on. Good luck!

We're moving the first week of August too, we just found out last week and I haven't even seen the house yet, it's a house my husband is inheriting and is much bigger then what we have now, so I have faith that it will all work out, I can't wait to see it after they put sod in for the dogs and the new deep sink and dishwasher flooring and painting, I'm sad too because we just set the nursery up in our current house but I figure he will sleep in the pack and play for awhile in our bedroom anyways so that'll be the last thing that goes down and the first thing that goes up, I'm only packing about an hour a day it's all I have the energy for everything else can wait. Just take it a day at a time!

Its stressful now but just think how you will feel after your in and settled! In a beautiful home and a new baby to enjoy it with:) we moved after my second was born so he was closer to 1(which involved 2 moves and that was stressful! I would have much rather done it before he was born and been settled in! It will all work out!!

I found out my husband's job may have us moving out of state after the baby gets here. I'm hopeful it'll be a while but there is a possibility it could be within a couple of months of me giving birth. I can understand the stress you're feeling about it. Honestly, I'm already stressing out about that being a possibility because we have 2 dogs and we own our home and if it goes anything like the last time they transferred him, they don't give a lot of notice. I ended up packing by myself because he was 6 hours away. I'm terrified of doing it again with a new baby and 2 dogs to take care of and a house to sell. But we make things work! Just stay calm and do what you can.

I'm supposed to move in a week halfway across the country. And we still don't have a place to live there! I totally feel your stress. Hopefully we all make it through the moving process.

I just moved states a couple of weeks ago. It's not as bad as you think, and it will all work out! For the first couple of months, baby should be sleeping in your room anyways if you're breastfeeding, and honestly, they won't know the difference if their room is not perfect when they get here! One of my nurses told me that babies can't see more than 12 inches for awhile after birth, so even if they did care, they couldn't see it anyways!

I know moving can be a huge stress, but @WDDCH is absolutely right! Just take it slow and try not to push yourself too hard.
I didn't even move and I just last night got some of the girls room finally done!! And they don't mind one little bit!
