The Middle Chapters

For the past nine months (okay probably longer than that), we have been going back and forth about whether to re-model our house or to move. I love our house. I bought it before I met the hubbie. But, it doesn't have a good lay-out for a baby (although has tons of re-model potential). But, I can't imagine going through a re-model with a little one. But, there are things that need to be done to get our house ready to sell. But, we'll qualify for more while I'm still employed full time if we buy something new. In our neighborhood, re-modeling is probably not the best thing to do with our money. But houses have gotten so expensive.

I'm 33 weeks pregnancy. Is now a good time to move?

Agggghhhhh! We looked at a house for sale today that is in the middle of a re-model. We don't know the story, but based on photos around the house, are guessing that a couple with a young child split in the middle of a tear-down/re-model. Is this what a re-model does to a family?

Would buying a house in the middle of a re-model be the worst of both possible worlds? Oh, but the kitchen is beautiful!

We also looked at another house - oh it was bad. The price - high. The house - low. It was around the back of an apartment building, very close to a dive bar. Bad, bad, bad.

I go on maternity leave in 3 weeks. The baby is due in 7 weeks. Maybe there is a better time to be thinking about this.
