We were going to have to shove our whole guest bedroom into our loft, along with our storage to make room for him in our current place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-732705 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 12:20:48 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 732705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hooray for a house! Isn't it so exciting? That will make bringing baby home a lot more relaxing (?) for you, to know that you have the space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-732609 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 10:26:13 +0000 marionberry 732609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: Thanks! You're right, I really wanted to bring our baby home to an actual house and well our baby won't know that we're renting vs owning. Congrats on putting your house on the market too! I'm sure it will all work out as it should.<br /> @sweetooth: Thank you! I love that, "little marionbaby" hehe.<br /> @stbhismrs: I know exactly what you mean. There wasn't much in our area at our price range either. We currently have 2 bedrooms and a loft and I needed at least 3 full bedrooms. I hope one of those miracle homes (just the size you want at no extra price) comes up for lease before you have that baby!<br /> @lindsayinnyc: I know what you mean about sacrifices. I've done that with numerous places we've lived. This house doesn't have A/C so that's our sacrifice, but it's well worth it for everything else we're getting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-732136 Sat, 20 Apr 2013 20:19:38 +0000 mlm2934 732136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yay that's great!!! I know you weren't really wanting to be in apartment, so this is great huge upgrade until you are ready to buy!! woo hoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-723428 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:53:14 +0000 StbHisMrs 723428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!!<br /> So exciting having a nice new place to bring baby home to :)<br /> We're sort of looking too, we need a bigger house with a fourth bedroom! There is nothing in our price range here, I really don't want to shell out anymore for a lease but so badly want a fourth bedroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-723422 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:50:34 +0000 sweetooth 723422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: How exciting!!! Congrats to you and your husband! <i>(and little marionbaby too!)</i> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-723401 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:37:28 +0000 LindsayInNY 723401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: We'll manage it with a stroller (or lock it in the storage room) but likely won't be carrying a car seat up and down much. It was a tradeoff for finding something we liked (which was hard to find). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-723400 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:35:44 +0000 marionberry 723400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: Good for you! I just had walked up those stairs for a year, and given the weight of the carseat with a baby in it, I just would prefer something easier. You'll certainly be in great shape! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-723393 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:31:05 +0000 LindsayInNY 723393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>" I mean who wants to climb four sets of stairs just to get into your house while carrying a carseat?!"</p> <p>THIS GIRL, LOL. We just bought a condo that is a 4th floor walk up. And we are totally okay with that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-723377 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:19:57 +0000 marionberry 723377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The landlord called today and we get to move in in exactly a month (instead of almost 2 months)! Only 30 days and counting. I can't wait! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-722825 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:54:00 +0000 marionberry 722825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: @Mamamagpie: Thank you very much! I'm over the moon excited to sign the papers tonight.<br /> @illumina: We don't know when we'll get the keys but we should find out soon. It's sounding like anywhere from the end of may to mid-June. Our current lease is up May 24, so anytime after that is great because we won't have to worry about 2 payments in one month. I will certainly pass on my good luck to you now! best of luck finding your home!<br /> @Mrssquirreld: I am SO excited to start decorating. We picked up a lamp and an art piece for the wall last weekend and we already have a dresser, so it'll be nice to start piecing together what we do have in the room and then decide what to do with the other pieces we need. It's always so much easier when you can see them together, versus just visually in your head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-721596 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 05:07:27 +0000 Mrs squirreld 721596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hurray!!! Hope you get the keys soon! Let the nursery decorating begin! :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-721581 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 04:13:33 +0000 illumina 721581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: Yay!! Glad everything is working out for you! When do you think you'll be able to get the keys? Can you send some of your good luck this way please - we start looking for our house in a couple of weeks time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-721527 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 00:29:38 +0000 MamaMagpie 721527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How absolutely wonderful!

But I'm so glad that you found somewhere! CL is so dicey sometimes, fx for tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-721080 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:43:14 +0000 marionberry 721080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Exactly! I figured out kind of what I plan to do, but once we get that house I can start actually doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-721032 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:16:42 +0000 Shutterbug 721032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: awesome!

I was feeling like it wouldn't happen to, but I'm sure something will come up! Just be diligent about looking. That's the only thing that helped us. I hope to hear you reposting a similar story soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-720922 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 18:15:07 +0000 Dandelion 720922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: Send some of that luck this way...we have to be out of this apartment May 1st, and we don't have anywhere to go...except my parents :/ Houses are really scarce around here, at least with our qualifications and in our price range. Hopefully I'll be posting something similar to this post, soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-720920 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 18:14:22 +0000 marionberry 720920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@VanillaBean: Thank you!!!

Nothing like finding a good place to bring your baby home to. </p> <p>I had the same feelings as you when my husband and I were looking for a home. I was so happy when we were able to find a place before our son was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-720918 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 18:12:12 +0000 marionberry 720918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Thanks! So at least you know what it's like and how crazy you get just wanting your baby to have a house to come home to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-720915 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 18:11:25 +0000 marionberry 720915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: I know! When we went to look at it today the stupid landlord showed it to other people too and I started freaking out. Apparently they show it until you sign the papers, so I made sure to set up the appointment to sign for tomorrow. No way am I losing that house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-found-a-house#post-720911 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 18:09:59 +0000 Running Elley 720911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!! Congratulations! We were house hunting while I was pregnant and it was such a relief when we found one!! </p>
