I never knew that selling a home can be so stressful. Currently, we are still under contract but the deal has felt like it almost died a couple of times. One moment we are super excited about leaving and moving into a bigger place, the next, we accept the fact that we may be here for awhile and remind ourselves of the benefits of staying in our cozy (way too small but conveniently located) condo, then back to the other side again...I've decided that I need to try to stop thinking about it.
BUT, I'm a little worried...here I go again...that the change might be stressful to Lucas. This is the only home he's ever known and because we are close to Chad's work, he gets to see his daddy everyday at lunch. However, he definitely needs his own room. I mean, Chad and I need our own room! I am embarrassed to admit this, but we have been sleeping in the living room (me on the couch and Chad on the floor on couch cushions) since December. We started doing this because Lucas was waking up so often in the night. Although we don't have to get up with him in the night anymore, he makes noises when he sleeps and literally his crib is one small foot from the foot of our bed and we wake with every sound. And if he wakes and sees us in bed, it's all over and everyone is awake.
Chad and I are dreaming about what life might be like with two bedrooms. We found an apartment in a neighborhood here we like. It is certainly no house in Boise, unfortunately, but it will do. I'm not sure we will get it because our closing date has been postponed for a couple of weeks, but if we do, I'll post some great pictures!!!
No, it's not Boise....get your cute buns out here already!
ReplyDeleteDon't be embarrassed about the sleeping arrangements. Anyone with kids knows you do what you can do to get the zzz's. We have some funny sleeping arrangement stories as well!
I wish you luck. Don't over think it. It will and always does, turn out just right!
Love you, girl.
