Moving in general sucks. It always does. You're scrambling to find someone who will help you carry your dirty laundry up flights of steps and it's always a pain in the butt. Nine times out of the last ten experiences I've had with moving, I usually end up crying or screaming at someone because it's not being done the way I want it to.
Now try doing it while you're pregnant. Twice.
The first time, back in November wasn't that bad. I was moving home and having everything taken care of for me on a regular basis - including my laundry and all my meals. Talk about luxury! The suckfest was that I was 2 hours away from work and my doctors and my baby dad (which obviously wouldn't be feasible after little Mads arrived). So I searched high and low for about 2 months until I found the place I'm currently living in.
Except now I'm 7 months pregnant and extra cranky and bigger and my back actually hurts. Not only did I now have to move everything 2 hours BACK to the area where I was living before, but I had a storage unit that had stuff in it, too. Praise Jesus for my mother, baby's father and his dad. [Grand]parents of the year award to them!
I managed to get everything unpacked and squared away in just 2.5 days - except for Comcast. That's still a pain in my butt and dealing without cable and internet for a week is torture. Pretty sure that was the most hormonal experience I've had this far and my yelling at Customer Service topped any preggo outburst I have had.
The best part about this move (besides not crying)?? I have a 2 bedroom apartment now meaning I am actually able to give Maddy a nursery! I can tell you a million times that I was content with the idea of finding a large 1 bedroom apartment and having that just for Maddy and I but if I'm being 100% honest with you, I would have been heartbroken to not have had the opportunity for my first born to put together her nursery.
My older sister hooked me up with my niece's crib and my mom and I put it together. It's a start and it's a really exciting start! It's also safe to say that while in unpacking mode that *drumroll* I'm ready to start nesting! I actually WANT to do my daughter's laundry and put things in drawers and get it all squared away.
Yes, I just said that.
No, I can't believe I did either.
So even though moving sucks more than 95% of things, I'm excited to start my last trimester with this in store. Next weekend we tackle the baby's nursery at her daddy's house :)
