[quote=Anonymous]I wished I had gotten advice about this when we moved! We moved when I was 7mos pregnant.  We closed a month before we moved in so had time to get floors redone and rooms painted before our move date.  Definitely think about yard space, flat driveways and sidewalk accessibility as future play spaces.  DH and I are used to living in small spaces so were happy to move into a small house, but little did we know that DDs toys and stuff really do take up A LOT of room.  Also, because our house is small and DD is a sensitive sleeper, we've had issues with soundproofing, so thinking about that and where your nursery will be is something to keep in mind. We opted for a house that does not have an open floor plan and are making do with it, but it really is easier when you have the open floor plan--that way you can be in the kitchen and still keep an eye on DC.

Think about stroller accessibility--will you be able to get a stroller in and out of the house/porch/garage and down to the sidewalk/into the car easily.

Get someone to help you with the packing --have a way of marking the boxes that should be opened sooner, store the non-priority boxes in the basement until you are able to get to them (or have someone do the unpacking for you!).

Good luck and congrats![/quote]
