Thanks, yes I do take him for long walks and swims every day but I agree that the yard size isn't sustainable. The house is big and when I say the backyard is small its only because the house I used to live in had a massive backyard. This one is bigger than a townhouse size courtyard but yeah we will definitely need to move soon, this house was only ever going to be temporary.

I plan to hire a daily dog walker for the first few weeks after the birth so if SS or my parents, husband or sister can't take him then at least he will still get to have a walk. I know a lot more mental stimulation will be critical until we get settled into a routine.
