I have no idea what I'm doing.

WTF?! Your bathroom is connected to your closet xD

Fuking hell though, your place looks awesome!!

Well its perfect though, I can do my hair and pick out clothes and everything and it's all in one place!

Thanks dear. Best part? Rent is income-dependent, so I'll probably be paying the minimum, which is $300/month.

[Magikarp]

Holy shit. Wait you're gonna live alone in that huge place??? Oh shat

[simmie]

Well in that place, you and the baby should live very comfortably. <3
Closet is killer though :o

[Raj]

Oh God.

Jo is becoming a true mom. She keeps saying "dear".

Are you moving a long distance, or just around the corner type of situation? for example, if you forget to bring something can you go back and get it?

Now that, is freaking amazing. I pay almost $400 right now (and utilities on top of that) AND I have three roommates paying the same as me. What city do you live in?!

Also, congrats on the pregnancy! How far along are you?

Mattress, Boxspring, multiple pillows, baby pillow*, formula, diapers, safety objects.
Baby pillows are the horseshoe shaped pillows that babies use for feeding/sleeping/etc.

Safety objects include:
Outlet covers
Cabinet locks
Door/Window knob locks
Edge/Corner guards

In general here's what I brought my first week on my own:

Dish soap
Shampoo
Toothbrush/Toothpaste
Groceries (mostly dry goods/canned goods)
2 Emergency candles
Basic tool set (Wrench/Hammer/Pliers/Screwdriver)
Duct tape
Blankets/Sheets/Pillow cases


Most of these things are just in case you're ever in a bind when maintenance can't come out or you need
to McGuyver something.

Is something wrong with that? ;~;

Oh God.

Oh shit I am. Sorry guys.

Next town over, about 20 minutes away.

Thanks! I'll be 6 weeks on Monday according to the doc.
And $300 is the MINIMUM for that room. If they wanted to, they could charge me up to $700.
It's all dependent on my income. I'm not sure how they'll determine all of it.
And Dixon, Illinois is where that apartment is.
I live in Sterling.

I'd tell you a few things to bring myself, but the strong female presence here already has it covered. GL Jo.

you need to McGuyver something.

Did you say MacGruber?

Be sure you have in an easily accessible container (i used two duffel bags that I kept in the truck next to me) the items you'll definitely need the first 24 hours:

clothing changes (for you and baby)
toilet paper
tooth paste
tooth brush
soap
deodorant
a towel
a cup
a plate
a fork
a spoon
Bottle(s) for the baby
diapers
a trashbag
your phone charger
a notepad and pen
first aid kit

assorted baby items (binky, blanket, toy, etc depending on your baby's needs)

It's a good idea to adjust this to your own needs. Keep track of stuff you use everyday and adjust the list. Moving is always crazy that first day or so while you are arranging/unpacking everything. This ensures that you know where everything you NEED that first day is in one place.
