Today we begin the moving process to our new house! It's still a rental, but finally we have our own space with no one living above or below! I am so excited; I may have to use more than one exclamation point!
!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am going to get some before pictures today, while I measure rooms, line kitchen cabinets, and get a general idea of where all my $#@* is going to go. Blah. THAT is the hard part. We have a ginormous basement, so storage isn't a problem, but I'm losing about 15 square feet from an already cramped bedroom. I think I'm going to be okay with the rest of the house (as long as Steve and I don't clash too much with decorating ideas), but the bedroom is definately going to be a challenge. Oh, and the nursery doesn't have a closet. Not that a baby needs a closet, but I'm thinking Steve and I could have used it. I've already downsized so much, I'm not really sure there is anything else I can give up without having to walk around naked a couple days a week, and in my current condition, don't nobody wanna see dat!
The bump grows rapidly:
The bump is looking lovely, and good luck with the move. The one thing I can recommend more than anything else is to be organized before a child comes into your life. It seems impossible to become so afterward.

Look at that beautiful belly! There are lots of great kids armoires that will hold their little goodies. Have you looked into that option? Good luck with the move!

Congratulations! Woot woot on the move!
I heard about someone that turned their whole basement into an enormous family-wide dressing room. They'd just all go downstairs to dress. Sounds kind of wack but it would definitely give you more bedroom room.

W00t! New chapter - how exciting. We have an expression in Swedish that does not translate very well, but you'll get the essence: "where there is heartroom there is bottomroom" - you'll find the space.
