35wks and moving house this week woo!!!
We have been living with family for the last 6 mths, and have finally managed to get our own place and are getting keys later this week.
cant wait to be in our own place in time for baby.
It is our third baby, so living with family with 2 young kids and a bump has been hard...now we can do things our way, raise our kids our way etc!!
I am not one for sitting back and letting hubby decide where things go (bit of a control freak), although i'll obv not be able to lift anything heavy, so he can lift (and any helpers we have) while i instruct lol.
Just wanted to share y excitement and ask if anyone has moved so close (or closer) to birth and if you have any tips for it going smothly??

Congratulations on getting your new house. I moved when I was 38+2 with my DS (had him a week later at 39+2!).
My top tips would be, get in the house and give it a clean (with helpers if possible) before you move in as then it is only putting things away that needs doing when you are moved in. Also have as many people help you on moving day so you can delegate and make tea for all!
When you are in it's tempting to try and do everything and tire yourself out. Try to just priotrise what needs sorting first and just work through (for me I could relax until the crib was made up and babies clothes were sorted), however there are lots of things that can wait and be done as and when you have a chance over the coming weeks / months.
I hope the move goes well, try to take it easy!
