Decisions

I feel like we have major decisions to make before this little one arrives.  Like, are we going to move, or stay in our current home.  These are big decisions financially and emotionally that we weren't planning on making right now.  I also feel like we have to make these decisions RIGHT NOW, or we are going to be out of time.  If we do decide to move, then we have a lot of work to do on the house to get it ready to sell.  The basement ceiling needs drywalled, the house needs painted, a bunch of miscellaneous projects, and we have to pack everything up.

We have to weigh how much it will cost to prep the house to sell with how much time we have.  Is it worth it to take out a loan just to sell the house?  Or should we stay and try to move this time next year?  With four little ones?  I am leaning towards moving now, not next year.  Ideally wed like to be moved into our new house by the end of July so that we have time to settle in before school starts and the baby comes.  The market is crazy right now, and there is really no way that we can make an offer on a new house before we sell our house, which means that we will be lucky to find our new house in the right timing to sell and buy without having to live somewhere else temporarily.  

The other part of this is that we haven't even had an ultrasound or seen the midwife yet to officially confirm this pregnancy.  God forbid that we miscarry, or there is something wrong.  Are we being hasty? This is all moving so fast.  But we feel like this would be the right time of year to sell the house and move.  More praying, more discerning, more thinking.  Not a lot of sleeping...
