We just learned that my husband must check into our new duty station 30 days after my due date with our first. Luckily our new home will only be a 3 hour drive from our current one, so a couple trips are possible and at least we aren't having to deal with airports, etc, but I would love any helpful hints you can provide! When would you plan on moving? We're currently thinking a week before check-in to maximize time for me to heal but also give us a bit of time to settle before he goes back to work, but is that crazy? Not only is this our first child, this will also be my first military move since we met at his current station. I'm trying to stay calm and know everything will work out, but I'm not going to lie that every time I really start to think about the logistics of it all I start freaking out a bit. It's not just the move and getting used to having a baby, but trying to manage all the family who wants to fly in to see the new (first!) grand-baby. Thanks in advance!

@DagnyDoo please let me know if you have any epiphany's! I'm going to talk to my husband tonight about trying for a temporary EFMP saying I have to stay here until after the baby is born. I confirmed with my OB doctor today that I'm actually high risk due to a medical condition I have and complications I just started having from it. I'm trying to make lists of what she should buy for her, what we need to keep with us for us and what can wait until we get to the new station. If you have any suggestions on what should go on those lists that would be much appreciated as well.
Have your parents around to help. They can either help with baby or be an extra set of eyes and just parents.
When driving away best to do right after a feeding. That way they will sleep during the three hour drive.
