This is my dining room... which pretty much represents the condition of my entire house. The moving truck arrives tomorrow at 8:30 AM, so I keep telling myself it will all be over then.
But the truth is it's only the beginning of more chaos... living out of suitcases, sleeping in hotels, driving 800 miles, and then... unpacking the boxes. No rest for the weary (or 8 months pregnant=).
I can't say that I am jealous, but I will be praying for you- you are a strong woman, I know you will make it through!

Honestly, if I ever had to do that again I think I would sell the house as is with everything in it! LOL

For me moving is like baking cookies…I get all excited at the thought of doing it and happily decorate a few; but then after about ten or so I’m done :) We’ve moved so many times that the only thing I’m jealous of is the excitement of moving…not the actual moving part ;)
I’ll pray that things go smoothly and that you get a lot of rest! :)

I've been thinking about you all week...knowing you're so pregnant and getting ready to move. I just packed up some of my classroom...totally not pregnant and got a little overwhelmed! I'll be praying for you guys as you embark on this adventure!

Ainsley, I am assuming this is your move to VABeach? I know that it is hard. My past two moves I was pregnant! I never moved that far though :) The nice thing is that you don't have to do any heavy lifting, the hard part is that you can't really do everything that you would typically want to do.
I feel like I am just starting to be able to do all the things I want to in my new home, and we bought it over a year ago. New floors, paint, gardens...it is all so fun, but easier now that Rowan can be put down for longer periods of time!
Good luck, and I can't wait to see you in person the next time I am in Norfolk!

Good luck Ainsley!!
I'm sure everything will go smoothly, as it's meant to!

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers! I'll be sure to give an update as soon as I can.=)

I heard you were moving pregnant, phew! brave :) I did that with Caleb (our 1st).. I was almost full term.. I was telling ali abt it today.. it was awful because I couldnt lift half of the boxes.. so when we got moved in I was like stuck in a house full of boxes.. I had to get help to unpack them.

Are you going to have to change the name of your blog again?
I moved when I was pregnant with the twins (they arrived 3 weeks after our move day), and it wasn't easy...
Good luck with everything!

Hi Ainsley,
I didn't know you were moving - I have been so behind in my blogreader. I hate when that happens. I hope your move will go well - I was thinking about you the other day and thinking the end is near, right? Due date for number three is coming up!
Take care and take us blogreaders with you on the move - enjoy the weekend,
Tanya

Praying for you all! I know how stressful it is to move while pregnant, but you have two other kids, too! Lean on the Lord when it gets too tough, and accept all the help you can get! I know you're so excited to be by your family again! I'm looking forward to getting together with you and the boys at some point! Do you know where you'll go to church? Good luck...

Heck no! I just went through that crap in April. I know the feeling (without the pregnancy, of course). Welcome back to Va Beach!

What? Are you moving again? You're almost like us although now we're staying put for sure. I say moving pg is ALOT easier than moving a newborn. I have done both, the latter sucks so much more! Good luck to you. I'll have to go back and read about where you're headed now.

I am right there with you. We moved here when our 2nd was 6 weeks old and we figured, hey I only have 2 weeks left of this third pregnancy, why not try to sell our house, putting in on the market right during delivery time and try to move with an infant again...that was fun=)
Good luck!
Look forward to keeping up with your travels=)
