The big problem with staying and having a baby is the dogs, they bark the baby wakes up. In a bigger house I could keep the dogs on the other end of the house on the 1st fl and it wouldn't be a problem.
You are really jumping the gun and about to make a HUGE mistake. Let me offer you my words of wisdom. TOO MANY people make the HUGE mistake of jumping into something BEFORE a baby is born. This is a HUGE mistake. Should I mention that this is a HUGE mistake?
In my experience, I see people rushing out to buy a new home, upgrade their vehicle and so forth because a baby is coming. They assume their lives will continue as they planned, such as wife continuing to work, etc. Then, their hearts and minds change where they would like one parent to stay home, work part time, etc and suddenly they have NO other options because they have exhausted and stretched their family finances to the max. Do NOT do ANYTHING until AFTER the baby is born and you have time to adjust. You can keep the baby in a bassinet, put a crib in the living room, etc until you have had a cooling off period and can really assess how you want to live your life.
Your dogs are a non-issue. Babies adjust to all kinds of sounds, etc. The way to adjust is to just allow the dogs to bark and not tip toe around and the baby will be fine.
I don't know what the rest of your finances are, but you currently owe a lot and don't have much saved. 15K not enough for a cushion.
So, if you want to sell the Condo, I recommend putting it up for sale and then renting UNTIL after the baby is born. That way, you have a cushion of money and it will prevent you from making a mistake that would take years to correct.
