Moving...so stressed...nbr...rant....ugh.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

We're moving tomorrow and I'm so stressed!! Moving is bad enough without two babies needing you in between wrapping glassware. My husband, who is incredibly sweet and a great human being, is very meticulous. Which is great for some things, but he it's SO FREAKING SLOW at packing. We started three weeks ago and I still don't think we'll finish before morning.

We shelled out for movers this time because heavy lifting down three fights of stairs and then up another right now equals a whole bunch of nope. But the packing...ugh. I don't think DH realizes that the movers will just leave stuff behind if it isn't boxed up!!

Come on ladies. Help a stressed mama out. Wacky moving adventures? Funny moving anecdotes? Crazy moving gifs?

(And let's not point out the irony of me piddling online when I *should* be packing...)

Re: Moving...so stressed...nbr...rant....ugh.

  • I count myself as somewhat of a professional mover (DH was in the army and we moved a total of five times in 3 years twice across the country) but I can't imagine trying to do so with twins. I can't imagine doing anything productive with twins.

  • I moved three times while I was pregnant and didn't have to help much. It was still exhausting just watching haha. Kudos to you!!! Do you gave family nearby? Or a daycare you use to drop the twins off so you can get stuff done? Good luck! Here's to a smooth move! 
  • No advice but I'm moving next month and I feel your pain! So stressed out and overwhelmed 
  • Moved 2 weeks ago. So far we've unpacked the swing for DS to sleep in, our bed, and the dishes. I pick my clothes for work every day based on what I can find that matches and is clean. Still trying to finish painting so I can hang them up, and waiting on the rest of our new furniture to be delivered so I can put them away. I have moved nearly a dozen times in the last decade, and I have to say that moving with a baby is impossible. I can't recommend it...  :D
  • You guys rock. No...I wouldn't recommend it either.

    It's 10:12pm...and there's still chaos exploding out of boxes. The movers come at 8:30am. Plus there's two cranky babies who haven't slept all day because of the ruckus. Oey. Vey.
  • Took me 3 weeks to pack our apartment '_' and some stuff still got left behind lmao! We just moved as well. It was easy to unpack. We are just gonna drill everything to the wall tomorrow =)

  • Two years ago DH and I moved from one three bedroom home fully furnished to another. It was just him and I as we moved during the week everyone was working. We did it all
    ourselves in one day took almost 12 hours and we were exhausted. I would hire movers next time.
