I don’t like my new house :-(

[perfectlyimperfect11]

I loved my old house, I was really attached to it. We moved last week as it’s closer to DH’s work, it’s a nice village for DS to grow up, the house has 2 more bathrooms, conservatory etc.
The thing is I just can’t get on with it and it doesn’t feel like home. The stairs are in the living room which I’m really not keen on, the toilets are really weak to flush, every single room is carpet, the bedrooms are light in the morning yet the living room is dark and I just generally miss my old house.
To top it off I haven’t been able to sleep, I’m full of cold, DS is too, and this morning I woke up dry wretching and I’m terrified of being sick so it terrified me? I don’t know if it was cos of this cold virus or sheer exhaustion, what do you think? It just feels like a bad start to being in the house. I just can’t seem to settle in the house and the massive lack of sleep, combined with the stress of moving and living with boxes all over is draining me.
Any advice?

It takes time to settle in. I felt the same for a while when we moved and thought I'd never feel comfortable or safe but over time this has changed especially where we've decorated a bit and put our stamp on the place. Being ill isn't helping your feelings at the moment, once your better, unpacked a few more boxes and spend more time there it will feel better.

How old is your ds? Could he act out 'so long,farewell ' from the sound of music while you sit on the couch?
This is a major advantage of stairs in the living room.
Also you can put things in those stair boxes for people to take upstairs and you're able to make eye contact with people who are failing to take the things up the stairs without standing hovering in the hall like a creepy butler.

When you feel well can you have a few walks and find nice places to like about your new surroundings?
Could you get a tomato plant for the conservatory?

I'd say give it a chance and go easy on yourself. Moving is stressful and exhausting, and I'm guessing a week in you haven't had a chance to properly sort things out and unpack? I was excited about our last move and I still ended up standing in the garden crying two days after we moved in because I felt like we might have made the wrong choice. I found the patch between moving in (exciting) and getting properly unpacked and starting to decorate/make it our own particularly difficult - its exactly the time that you notice things that you're not so keen on/didn't anticipate but you haven't settled in enough for them not to matter. We're a couple of years in and I love our house now. I don't know where you've got to, but making one room really cosy and lovely as quickly as possible really helped me feel more at home.
