My husband and I just rented our first house, and now we are moving out of his parents house and into our own. We are trying to do all of the moving without him taking off from work, but to make matters worse I'm seven months pregnant so I can't really help with much of anything. And to top it all off, my husband just finished school and has his state exam this week to get his license to practice myo-therapy. It's realy starting to stress him out, with makes him super cranky, which just stresses me out, and at this point it hardly seems worth it. Any tips on how to keep me and my husband from going out of his mind?

simple. keep joking on every issue. and keep smiling even if someting precious breaks. and try to be coooool on ever matter. after the tedious woek is finished take a fresh bath and deck up with good powder. you will be relieved. keep eating something in little quantities like, tea, coffee, cooldrinks, juices, etc;. keep good audio based on your beliefs like; bhagavatham, ramayan, gita, bible, quran etc which gives the maximum relief.

This reminds me when we moved from Pennsylvania to North Carolina after a few weeks in giving birth to my daughter. And we dont have so much choice not to move during that period, because my husbands job has been relocated in Carolina. So we either move or lost his job ! Since we have a lot of friends there, and they know that I have just gave birth, they helped us packed our stuff, dispose things that we dont need and basically carry things to the container. So, asked help, it wouldn't hurt at all, im sure someone is ready to help. Second thing is looking forward to your new home is one thing. This is your home and you dont have to share it to his parents, that would give you both inspiration ! Hire a mover maybe or could you re schedule your move maybe after his exam, so he would not be soo stressed out double ? I hope this helps you even a little ? Goodluck on the new house !

Try checking out any movers in your town which help in moving and shifting from one home to another. They will take a little money but both of you and your husband won't have any problem in shifting. Both of you just have to take yourself to the new home.

Asking help from your friends and family member is a method to solve the problem. If it can't work, you can hire someone to do this job.
