Move this. And, oh, don’t forget the baby.

Jump to Comments

My household is gearing up to move to another house. I’ve got a whole week’s “vacation” from work, but what it really means is packing, packing, cleaning, cleaning. If you read my previous post, it’s not easy trying to fit all this in. Moving is stressful enough, but with a (now-sick) baby to take care of, this week and the next few after that will be quite an adventure.

So it got me thinking. What kind of advice is there online about coping with a move when you have a baby? Here’s a sampling of what I found:

Moving with Baby: Tells me to be calm so my baby stays calm. Om.

Move and Relocate with a Baby: Tells me to keep baby happy. Hmm, sounds familiar.

Moving with Baby in Tow: Tells me to enlist the help of family and friends. And to take care of myself, so the baby will be OK, too. And this I love, and must do: One of the subheads says “Accept the chaos.”
