I need to vent.
We have purchased a new house 2 years ago that was supposed to be ready by Feb 2015. We have been living in a tiny town home close to the new house to get the boys in new school for those two years. Just found out now that we are delayed and I will not be moving into my home until march (after baby is born). I'm devistated.
Honestly'- I'm beyond stressed about this bc it's virtually impossible to pack and move with a newborn. People are going to want to come visit her. And they can't bc my current house is too small. I cannot get my new vehicle to accommodate all the kids until after we close bc it could affect the deal closing (as per broker). I know this all sounds so petty and I am clearly greatful we even have a roof over our heads. But the notion that I do not get to nest and make a nursery for her before she's born is very upset ing for me. (We only have 3 bedrooms at current home).I've been waiting for this for a long time. The worst part is that hubby--being a total guy-- doesn't seem to care about any of this. So frustrating. I litterly cannot sleep. He sleeps like a baby!
I mean I don't even have an exact date as to when we move so it could be any time in march at this point. The day after I give birth for all I know. Can you imagine doing mortgage paper work the day after you have a baby? It's like my priorities just aren't going to be on the house at all
I feel out of control of the situation and I hate this. I'm worried the stress might effect the baby.

Hey Robin
I'm hearing you. We are currently renting a 2 bedroom place and are moving one month after baby is born. I have been trying to enjoy the last week/days of pregnancy but have been busy organising removalists, bills, school, etc. We are moving somewhere that's bigger and nicer so that is what I keep trying to focus on. I know ultimately we will move and settle and be happier for it and this bump in the road is an unwanted but necessary inconvenience.
The stress will not be good for you or bub, so try to relax (easier said than done). I was like you when I first found out we had to move and I've just had to accept it is what it is and it will happen this way regardless of how I feel about it. So I've sort of changed from being stressed to excited. I can't nest either and we have a crappy corner in our dining room set up for bub 😳 but I know he won't mind hahah and to make things a bit better I have bought a new rug for his new room and also a new feeding chair. So there is a nursery 'plan', it will just be after he arrives rather than before. We are still renting when we move so it still sucks that we aren't going somewhere permanent, but I guess I just have to roll with it. Don't worry about visitors, they will completely understand that u are moving and they will always come to the new place once u move so u can show them how fab ur new place is. Try to focus on the good things (I know it seems there aren't as many compared to the bad things) but at least the move will be permanent and ur boys don't have to change schools.
U are 100% right that the situation is out of ur control, but try focus on the great things that are around u and ur beautiful girl who is coming soon, it's far more important and will be better for u and bub. Huge hugs, I know it's a trying time, but u will get through it and be in ur beautiful new home soon xox

Hi girls haven't been on in a while and missed a bit
Huge congrats dreamingofwin I'm thrilled for you Enjoy your little man!
Crazycatcouple glad all is well and you won't be delivering your little man too early The same thing happened to my friend at 32 weeks and she had to get steroid injections to stop the baby coming early and thank god the baby is still perfect She's two weeks behind me
I have 5 days to go before d day and I'm not getting any inkling that she'll come early I hope I don't go too far over All the walking eating curries and drinking raspberry leaf tea aren't making her budge! And I've put on about 3 lbs in the last two weeks!!!!!

Robin and Oncue sorry you have that extra stress at this time but as Oncue said focus on the positives Your little one won't care where they are sleeping as long as they are loved and fed and well looked after You'll be in your new house before you know it and it'll be fab
We have a three bed house and this will be our fourth baby My three boys share one bedroom and refuse to move into another room away from each other! So when this little one arrives I'm going to put her in to my room for the first year and then she can share one of the bedrooms with the youngest boy for a few years while they're still young Yes it'll be a tight squeeze but they all seem to love being together so I'm happy with that I won't have a pink nursery but that doesn't bother me in the slightest We'll build on an extra room when they become teenagers but until then we'll all squeeze together!! Wherever you are when your baby is born you won't even care You'll be too besotted with your newborn to even care about your house Relax and look after yourself and try to stop stressing!!

Good to hear from u daisy! I thought u had delivered ur little one already. We don't have long to go now, let's see if we can time it for the same day haha 😉 xo

You guys are the best honestly. Thank you for your replies. It means a lot. Being all pregnant and emotional doesn't help at times lol.
I'm just going to pack as much as I can now and live in the bare essential state until we move in late Feb or March.
Off topic but has anyone used the mamaroo swing type thing? If so how do you find it. I'm looking to get one for her.

Robin- daisy is right. I was feeling all OCD about things but the minute I got home with little guy I just didn't care- you'll get there:-) Daisy and oncue- ready for baby time!!!
