So0o0 we might be moving??
My grandfather has severe Alzheimer's and recently got moved into an assisted living home because things were getting progressively worse. He was leaving the house in the middle of the night and knocking on neighbors doors...no good. They had nurses coming in all day long to his house, but overnight was becoming an issue...
So, my Dad and my Aunt have offered his house to us...to rent (or rent to buy down the road) for the exact amount of money we're paying where we are now. His house has three bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen, two living rooms and a playroom. There some things that need to be fixed (one window) and my Dad wants to re-sand a floor and replace some of the rugs before we move in. LO would actually have a nursery instead of room sharing with us! We'd have a playroom to put all the toys....actual space to do whatever we want and not feel so crammed! I could have a home office to work in!
The house is also in the same town as my parents...which is awesome! They are awesome and out of all of our family members, I trust them the most to watch LO (and I know they'll want to watch him/her all the time...MIL has already told us that she'd be available for some babysitting, but doesn't want to be burdened with watching LO a certain day every week..which is fine)
Now the only issue is figuring out when to tell MIL....which I'm dreading. She'll most likely give us a guilt trip about it but ya know what lady, we live 5 minutes away from you now and we never see you (i.e. she never comes over or really asks us to come over) and I've been away from my parents for 9 years, deal with it! I should also add that we're moving about 25 miles from her, so not far at all. And we'd have a nice place for her to come over and visit with us, and even stay over if she wanted since we'd have a third bedroom!
As of right now, we dont' have a moving date set. I am trying to figure out if I want to wait til I'm back to work, or if it would be better to move while on maternity leave...just wanted to share something exciting thats in the works for us!

Re: So0o0 we might be moving??
As far as moving dates go I would say wait till you see how things are going recovery wise. For me I wouldn't have wanted to move while going through everything but I also had a csection and H went back to work fairly quickly after we came home from the hospital. I would suggest tentatively plan a date but leave time for changes just in case.

As someone who did have to pack her entire house up and move with a baby, do it as soon as you possibly can! Moving with an 11 month old has been the hardest thing. Also, you'll really appreciate the space. It's amazing how much stuff a baby accumulates even if you do try not to buy a lot.
