New house and new baby

We moved into a new house last week, and I gave birth to our second child yesterday (first is 16months old). I'm really struggling with it all. The house isn't what we pictured it to be- there are issues coming out left, right and centre now we're here that we didn't plan, expect or budget for. It comes after months of stressful conveyancing- we want to move 3 months ago but had a bad buyer which left us in this position to move close to due date. I miss our old house so much now, and can't help but think life would be so much easier if we had stayed there. I can't get over it. Instead, we're trying to adjust to newborn whilst also having to call in emergency plumbers and electricians, and have half the house out of order. Any support and words of reassurance would be appreciated.

Congratulations on your new LO @MumNo2.

Moving house is stressful and you've done it at time when you're probably at your most vulnerable.

I'd try and concentrate on the reasons why you moved, was it for more space?

And also try concentrate on your two LOs. Having another is always a big adjustment.

If you're struggling to deal with it all though do speak to your MW Flowers
