I'm bored... time for a poll!

We are starting to talk about when we are going to have our next child. Starting ttc will be at least a year away, but I'm bored and thought I'd see who had some input. We will be moving twice so no scenario is perfect. I should add DS1 and DS2 are 2.5 years apart and we are thinking about having 4 kids.

Move before you start trying. we were supposed to close on our house a month before DS's due date and it was very stressful packing while pregnant. He ended up being a month early AND our closing got pushed back a month and a half so we moved when he was 6 weeks old. It was really hard to do with a newborn so I would imagine it would be even harder with 2 young kids and a newborn or even 2 kids and pregnant. Save yourself that stress!

That would definitely be the less stressful option. The only down side would be the age gap. 4 seems pretty big. Plus, if we decide to have a 4th baby 3 and 4 would be really close together. I would like to be done having kids by the time I'm 35. I really can't decide which way would be the best to go. None of the options are perfect. Thanks for your thoughts!

I picked move in 1st or 2nd tri. We moved in my 2nd trimester and I was fine. It would be harder IMO to move with a newborn.
