Why Is Moving While Pregnant So Exhausting?

[nikked]

I know there are a lot more serious issues going on, but I AM SO EXHAUSTED! I'm due March 14, and we're moving...just four blocks away, but somehow, those types of moves are worse, because you do it a little at a time instead of all at once.

My DH had a 3-day pass he was supposed to use last week, and it was canceled because his commander is an micro-managing idiot who ordered a surprise inspection of several areas, including his, so I've had to do most of it by myself...

He is taking the pass this week, but has a head cold, and now it's snowing...

Ugh...This is the first time I've been able to get online in several days.

We're in what we have lovingly dubbed my last "whine-ester"...and it is certainly living up to that name.

Thanks for letting me whine. Hopefully the rest of this move will go simpler!

I can understand how you are feeling. I was pregnant with my 4th baby last August when we "temporarily" moved in with my parents (7 people in a 3 bedroom house) while my husband "renovated" the bathroom at our 2 bedroom house. Needless to say, things became very cramped no matter where we lived. So 4 months later, just after my son was born, we moved into our new house, which is about a mile from our original house and 10 miles from my parents. This was about a week or so before Christmas. So we are still moving things from our old house and my parents house into our new one. Did I mention that my husband got laid off from his job while all this was going on too? Thank goodness I had PC to fall back on to keep my sanity, what was left of it anyways.

Hang in there...it will get better! I understand about the military, I'm an army spouse myself. I've moved us about 4 out of 6 times without hubby due to deployments (love those) and commanders who are pure idiots. I've done the few blocks thing too and those moves really are the hardest. Take yourself a break every chance you get and enlist anyone you can to help!

Take it easy. You deserve your whine. As a matter of fact, if I had your address I'd consider sending you some cheese so you could throw your own "whine" and cheese party.

I'm sorry Nicole! I hope it does get better for u! Just think of your beautiful new baby in your arms in your new home!!!

Its ok to whine to us, that is what we are here for. My heart goes out to you. I loved moving when we did because it gave me a reason to literally clean the house but it also meant finding a new place to the other stuff.

I am so sorry! At least you get to set up a nursery in the new house- that is always good motivation!
