Ok, we're probably crazy but we bought a house. We knew we'd move one day, and we really wanted an office and a guest room in the future, but hadn't talked about it too much with the baby on the way. After thinking about it however, we realized we didn't want to move our kids around when they were in school and we figured moving before Grade 1 was the ideal time to do it. We looked around a bit before making this decision, and once we decided that was a good idea we started to look around seriously in the neighbourhood we were interested in. After waddling around some houses we fell in love with one. After thinking about it for a while we decided to make an offer. After a whirlwind few weeks, we just completed a home inspection at the new place yesterday, got our house decluttered and purged, and are now listing our house for sale next week!! Insane! If this baby can hang in there till we sell our house that would be fantastic. He has 3 weeks to just stay put at the bare minimum. I'm hoping to sell our house within 2 weeks. Typically it only takes that long on our street, so I'm hoping history repeats itself. If that can happen then we're laughing!!
So...are we crazy? Certainly feels like it, although all this decluttering and purging right now while we have 1 less kid is probably the way to go. Either way I'm useless with the big stuff...being heavily pregnant or strapped to a baby is not conducive for tackling a disaster basement. I have tried to do my part and basically took on one job a day--front closet, cleaning fridge, my closet, bookshelf, etc.
Soo--this is the main reason why I would be freaked out if the baby came soon! The master plan is to sell the house and then just wait for him to come. Hoping it works...let's see how this plays out.
Oh--here's the new house:

Oh--here's the new house:
It is larger, has the office we needed, a 4th bedroom for guests, and the girls will still share in their bunk for now. And in the summer there's a pool--this is a major draw for the girls and making them excited to move. Well Paige anyway, I don't really think Rose knows what's going on. We'll have to finish the basement, but it's not necessary in the short term. As much as I love the house it is scary and kind of sad to leave our house and neighbourhood. I am always resistant to change but I think we'll be ok.
