I'm due in mid January and one thing is leading to another and it looks like our family might be moving to a different state when our lease is up at the beginning of May. By that time we will have a 2.5 year old and a 3.5 month old.<br><br>
When I mentioned this to my dad, he warned me that some of the highest stress factors a person can have are new baby, new job, and moving. We did move before when dd was 7 months old, just before she started crawling, and it was hard but not overwhelming. But it was a local move, and there was no toddler in the mix then. Now I'm scared that this could be too much.<br><br>
If anyone has experiences moving with a newborn, and especially with a newborn and a toddler -- was it manageable, or was it an experience you NEVER want to repeat? We don't *have* to move right away but we are so eager to move closer to the grandparents and away from this crazy big city...
