Awww....I love the pics. I move after the baby. Save money, and let someone else(family and friends) clean everything. That's what family and freinds are for. I'm sure they would be willing to help considering the situation. But most importantly, try to relax and take care of yourself! |

Wow, Becky.. that's no fun. You can stay with me if you want to move to Ohio for a few weeks.  I have room for y'all! Anyway, if I were in your situation, I think I would move early. If you explain the situation to your landlord, they might be nice about the lease, especially if you give 30 days notice. I mean, what are you supposed to do? Have a baby and then carry your couch to the new place? The other thing you could do is take an ad out on Craigslist or something and help find someone to lease your apartment before you go so they're not hard pressed to fill the space. But yeah, I'm with you on this one... remind your husband that if you guys move shortly after the new baby is born, he will be carrying the entire contents of your apartment all by his lonesome... (Not that you'd be carrying furniture while you're 9 months pregnant but hey, he might buy it...). Good luck!  |

is hubby willing to do all the packing all the moving and all the set up if you move in august? i can't imagine what it would be like to be fresh post pardom new baby, toddler then trying to set up house ontop of it all, atleast if you move before you MIGHT get the big nesting kick before the baby is born, moving in august might end up being more of a pain if you can't move your stuff from one home into the other home  |

Uh, guess I should say we have no family out here what-so-ever. we can get the inlaws to come out and help. But slight downside to doing that post-baby is...well a few of them will be more interested in oooo'ing and ahhhhh'ing and all that jazz, rather than helping.  |

Mid, he suggests starting to pack little by little starting as soon as now. Which, makes sense to an extent. But there's only so much I can pack months before a move...ya know?....He would have co-workers to help move the big stuff. But either way, Before or after the baby I'll be pretty useless in this venture. |

I think you both will cool down within a few days (giving it days because I know how it is to be pregnant and moody) and have things figured out. A move before hand sounds to be the best that way everything is ready for when the baby comes. The already baked past bedtiem bun is adorable, she's getting big fast.  |

Such cute babies you have! hehe. Moving is just a pain altogether, whether you do it before or after the baby. IMO I'd move before having the new kiddo just because it'd make it worse on you with a new baby and dealing with the stresses of moving.  |

And Bless you!! lol! Oh my! Sounds like you really are stressing over there. I would probably sign an earlier lease just for the sake of being settled before the baby is born. I do understand about the crib, because you probably want to use it for when the baby-bun arrives. And getting the wee-one used to using a toddler bed before the baby-bun arrives would be the ideal thing. Maybe since it's just one month difference, the landlord will help out a bit, given the situation. At any rate, I hope you get things squared away the way you want them.  |

If it were me I would want to be all settled before the baby comes, you don't want to worry about moving with a newborn and a toddler do you? Things will be hard enough for you  |

I would say that your baking bun looks adorable, but I can't tell with an ultra sound! I'm sure he/she will be just as adorable asthe first one. Do you even know what you are having yet? |

I can soooo sympathize! We sign the papers for our next flat March 16th, my baby is due March 20th and the movers will be here March 30th. it is going to be tough. My husband is stressing more than me. Just relax, it will work out. You have to add the pros and cons for yourself and decide which you can live with easiest. A move is never easy. I'm doing as much packing as I can now before the baby arrives (heck he'll be here in ten days or sooner lol)I actually started in December lol get all the stuff you don't use now packed, including decorative itesm, that is what I packed first (all knick knacks, vases, etc) and go from there. Every little bit packed beforehand can help, I'm doing the kitchen this weekend and we'll use paper plates for the rest of this month lol. Good luck  |

My thoughts? I am not big on inducing a baby for reasons you mentioned. I would put my priority first with the baby coming into this world when it is suppose to. The landlord you have now won't be able to have you leave right then and there because there is time allowed legally when there are children involved. I would be honest with this landlord and tell them what is happening and you could possibly pay either on a per diem rate to them or by the week until you are strong enough, and you will do the best you can. I had tenants (who were distant cousins) who lived month to month because my house was going up for sale and my lawyer said you cannot have them leave even without a lease because they had a 7 year old daughter and I had to wait through Spring until she finished her schooling that year. So please rethink this rush you are putting on yourself. If all else fails, these family members you spoke about -- couldn't they give you a room until everything gets taken care of? As I said I wouldn't do this inducing thing.
That to me stresses out the baby if it is not ready. Just my opinion. Lorkrister |

Lorkrister, please be reassured that there are other reasons other than just the move that have made us want to induce. I just didn't not mention them, because I chose not to, and I still choose to keep them private. Believe me my doctor is NOT one to jump any guns and do something of this nature without a very good reason. I can talk to the landlord, but I really don't think that will have much help on the situation. But I can try. Anyway, I talked to my Dad last night, bless his soul. He always knows the right things to say to get me to chill out and calm down. Go Dad. No decision made yet. But we'll get there. |

Move out early, save yourself the stress, let your parents help out with the expenses for a little while (It won't be long before you're up and running on your own again. And this is a situation where the grandparents WANT to be of help...as I suspect your mom would attest if she read this).  |

You should do you and your family a favor by not renting an apartment and buying a home instead. You could probably get a house for the same as you will be paying in rent. Sure, it will be a bit more stressful but you will have something of your own in the end. Yeah, I know this isn't what you asked but I just get upset when I hear about young families upgrading rentals instead of buying.  |

NKA, we've thought about that actually. But due to the fact we should be out of here in a year. It just doesn't seem practical to buy a house right now. I want to though, believe me!!!... |

From Authorid: 47218
Yeah, you shouldn't buy a house unless you plan to be there for at least 5 years. Too big a risk that you'll lose money on it if you have to resell it. |

mollycat has a point, I didn't know you were moving out of the area... it's about 3 years usually that gives you enough equity to sell and walk away clean, 5 to make some cash off of it... |
