And we're only moving an hour and a half away from our families so I'm sure they'll be more than willing to help unload everything once we get there. Otherwise I would definitely make him hire someone to do all the moving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-moving-are-we-forgetting-anything#post-199411 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:39:14 +0000 Mrs. Train 199411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If its an option for you I would hire moving help. I moved when I was 6 months pregnant and it was so helpful. We weren't moving far so the same people loaded and unloaded our truck but you could also get help at both locations from different companies. There are tons of companies that do it just check online. It was the best thing I did for that move. I had everything packed and ready they just came in and loaded up. When we were at our new house, I stood inside and told them where to put things. It was awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-moving-are-we-forgetting-anything#post-199397 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:30:33 +0000 purrpletulips 199397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have time, stop by your post office and see if they have a moving guide (the ones around me have them for free). It usually includes the necessary items to get your mail forwarded along with some lists to help make sure you take care of everything and often some coupons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-moving-are-we-forgetting-anything#post-199364 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:14:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 199364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Transfer or cancel cable/satellite, cancel lawn services/trash/normal utilities. </p> <p>Make sure car seat is easily accessible and you both know how to install it, in case labor happens. Have insurance card on hand easy to find in case it is needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-moving-are-we-forgetting-anything#post-199361 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:12:06 +0000 BelugaBean 199361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Yes, the utilities and the mail! I feel like I knew all of this when he first told me and as I started to make a list I kept forgetting things! Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-moving-are-we-forgetting-anything#post-199357 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 13:09:19 +0000 chopsuey 199357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make sure you cancel utilities!<br /> And forward your mail?<br /> Good luck with your move! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-moving-are-we-forgetting-anything#post-199335 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:46:45 +0000 BelugaBean 199335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we're moving pretty far next week (a 20 hour drive plus breaks), while I'm over 37 weeks pregnant, due to my husband getting a new job. I have an appointment with my doctor here on Tuesday to make sure I'm still good, then an appointment with my new doctor Friday to make sure things are still good after the move.</p> <p> So I've already set up an appointment down there and found a hospital that I like. If there's time, we'll do a hospital tour. If not, we'll see how it goes. I'm a bit worried about changing doctors and hospitals but there's not much I can do about it. </p> <p>I'm also going to find a good hospital every two hours of the trip or so just in case. And I'm going to research pediatricians this weekend to pick one. </p> <p>I'm currently inquiring about rental properties so hopefully we can move in ASAP when we get there. I'm also going to make sure we know where we're stopping Wednesday night so we can book the hotel (and make sure it's pet friendly). </p> <p>My husband is looking into the whole PODS thing so maybe it can be dropped off Monday and shipped off to our new destination on Tuesday sometime. He's also talked to his job about the whole situation. He also needs to get a trailer rented so we can tow my car behind his truck (and fill it with any necessary baby stuff just in case).</p> <p>We're going today to get moving supplies to start packing tonight and also to the pet store to make sure we have what we need to travel with our animals (a dog, a cat, and a turtle).</p> <p>We're going to talk to the place we're currently renting from today and make it clear that we'll pay through the end of July to cover our 30 days notice. Also, we'll start cleaning this weekend. </p> <p>So, is there anything we're forgetting? I'm sure there is since I'm so forgetful lately and I'm sure there are things he's thought of that I haven't. </p>
