[quote=Anonymous]In an effort to stop punching myself in the face every time I write the rent check for my Dupont circle apt, I was able to find a nice, affordable 2 bdrm apt in Glover Park. The logistics of moving with the baby, however, threaten to allow the face-punching to continue. I've moved many times, but never with a baby, and am not quite sure how to handle her care during the actual pack/box/haul bonanza that will ensue. Images of me wrapping glasses while she fusses in the Ergo make my face start twitching. DD is 7 mos and still naps twice a day...is juuust starting to sit unassisted so extended independent play isn't an option. Her favorite toy remains another human being. Namely me. The little bugger.  :mrgreen:

I have a lovely and large family who are all descending the week of Thanksgiving to help, so I've got the packing/carrying part covered. I also have a wonderful nanny who I plan on showering with my sincere thanks and a bonus (and maybe some chocolatey goodness) for helping during the move. So lots of warm bodies, but I'm still sort of at a loss...where do I physically direct people? Does nanny hang with babe in apt during all this packing? They go for daily walks but it's gotten very chilly, so extended outdoor outings won't work. Do we move baby's room first into new apt and give them a place to go? But then nanny is hanging out in empty apt while babe is napping...not appealing for her. Can also give nanny some off days and pass baby around to family members (I'd certainly rather hang with DD than pack dishes) but where to do said hanging is still the issue. BTDT folks, thanks for your thoughts.
