My SO gets his annual raise at work August 1st and (hopefully) we'll be selling the motorcycle this week. That means.... We can start looking at houses of our own again!! We were looking before and fell in love, but the bike didn't sell so we had too many payments on our plate to make an offer. That house is still for sale, so I'm really hoping we can make an offer they'll accept and get this moving thing over with! If not, we get to go look at houses and hopefully find one we like!
It's SO stressful not knowing if we'll still be here when baby comes. I don't wanna finish her room if we're just going to move or already be moved before she gets here! It really messes with my nesting instinct as there's nothing to get ready yet!!
Who else is actively looking at houses and planning/wanting to move before baby(ies) comes?! What are your biggest concerns?
Re: Who's all house hunting before baby's here?! (Plus a little rant)
I'm anxious because it's moved so fast. We found this house last week.
I think my biggest concern is buying new furniture. Our sofa in our apartment is very old and was given to us by my stepdad's friend. He kept it in his shed. It's a little funky. And our house will need a fridge.
But I'm excited to get Baby's room put together.
I have no idea when or if she will move even tho she had 3 mos off to find a new place. Knowing we will be moving in when she leaves. I'm scared of moving too close to due date in case the stress triggers something.
I am so annoyed at her and can only look for another place ir decide to move after baby which kills any nesting opportunity. I have no rm left in my 1br to pack and wait or set up a baby area. I want to at least have a plan or def date but she's one of those last minute types. The landlord is also a coworker who is looking forward to us being tenants.
This place is ideal w location to our jobs and price for size in a great community. I was hoping to move in aug but landlord says lease isn't up till oct. I'm sooo bummed.
We are going to start looking for other places this wk but ugg. I'm a planner. And trying not to be stressed.
Then he gets a call for a job interview for a job out of state... So now we might have to sell our house and move out of state. Why couldnt they call before we started tearing up the babies room!!!
I'm extremely stressed because I don't know where I'm going to be living when the baby comes and I sit at home all day and can't do anything. I just want to get her room set up and decorate it so it will be ready.
Trying to stay calm because my husband is but we will have to replace all the floor in the babies room, hallway and living room before we move. And finish renovating our master bathroom!
Sorry ranting just so discouraged. I don't want to lie about having him buuuut
We closed on our house Friday. Spent all weekend moving out of our apartment/into our house. We had our final apartment inspection yesterday.
It's different going from a one bedroom apartment to a 3bedroom/2bathroom house. We've got so much room, I hardly know what to do with myself!
