Sorry to hear you have to move I'd do it before bubs arrives. Our Dd was hard work and I can't imagine moving during all of that when she was so unsettled and wouldn't sleep. Try to get as much help as you can so that you don't feel stressed. It might be a lot for your 1st child to gain a sibling then move, they might think its the baby that brought about all the change.
That really sux, personally I would try move before bubs but does mean rushing, you'll need find something asap which might not be exactly what you want.
I've moved twice when heavily pregnant and again when DD2 was a few months old. (Hmmm... there's a pattern here! I love this house, maybe no more kids!!) I found moving when pg a lot easier, particularly if you have plenty of support. I suffer SPD when pg so I was pretty useless physically but I could still stand around and boss everyone else! I really enjoyed the nesting and setting up of a new place and it certainly gave me plenty to do in those last few weeks of pg which just seem to crawl by.
Perhaps you could ask your current landlords for some rent relief to put towards the cost of removalists?
I am so tired, dragging dd around to look at places that seem good on (website name removed by moderator - please read guidelines) and turn out rubbish. I have started the whole throwing stuff out process when I have energy but I am just so tired.
I had the biggest cry tonight as I took down all the wall stickers and all the nursery stuff that I took so much time placing up for this bub. It just felt so depressing and overwhelming.
I know moving before bub will be easier but right now it all seems hard.
To make matters worse, last night I threw up in the bath and today I threw up in the car while at traffic lights. I grabbed some serviettes from centre console but it wasn't enough, so I cried all the way home with Dd telling me it's ok mummy. Not sure whether it's stress related or morning sickness back.
I have plenty of offers of help from family and friends which is great but it's limited what they can do at the moment.
My mum is coming over tomorrow with about $100 worth of boxes and packing stuff that she is shouting me and is going to come with me to look at places, then my sister is coming over in the Arvo and is going to stay the night and help pack some stuff. I am really lucky to have them.
I just feel so lost, unsettled and in limbo land. I hate it
Sorry for the vent. Just needed to get it out.
