1. Have pretty much zero interest the first couple of months on the market.
2. All the sudden have a bazillion showings when you are 400 years pregnant and can barely bend over to pick up toys.
3. Get an offer (YAY!)
4. Realize that they want to close in 30 days.
5. Realize that closing in 30 days puts you at February 22nd....Two days before you are scheduled to give birth.
6. Scramble like crazy to find a new place to live.
7. Find a new place to live (YAY!)
8. Get in a bidding war (so much for a Buyer's Market).
9. Win the bidding war!
10. Get all your affairs in order to purchase house, including scheduling various inspections.
11. Inspection results: House tests positive for Meth.....REALLY positive. Like, 10 times what is considered "safe" to live in positive.
12. Oh yeah, this happens when I am less than two weeks away from giving birth.
13. Give up and surrender to being homeless for awhile (and by homeless, I mean freeloading off my parents while they cook for me and watch my kids.)
So there's the story for those of you who have been lucky enough to not have heard me complain about it (some of you have heard it several times over, as I tend to complain loudly and often).
The good news is, we are now free of our condo and ready to start the madness all over again. Wish us luck!

I was wondering if you guys sold. Congrats on selling and good luck looking for your new place :)
That sucks so bad about the house! Good news is at least you aren't trying to unpack and organize your new home while copying with the life altering event of baby #2! Then again - living with the parents with a new kid is stressful too - been there, done that.
