a little vent...

I love my DH more than life itself, but sitting here this week I wonder WTF he was thinking. As you guessed he's military and we have to move. We have to be at the new base by Feb. 28th. We have yet to shop for a house yet because once we finally got his orders all taken care of and a preapproval for a home loan taken care of, I was too far along to travel and DH didn't want to pick a house alone. So we're waiting for LO to arrive and then going house hunting. Now if you're military, you know that they will move everything for you, which is AWESOME! BUT...DH decided to schedule them to come and pack everything that we're not moving ourselves on Jan. 25th!! That's 3 days after my EDD! When he told me this, I had a meltdown. Then warmed up to it, thinking oh I can rough it, plus my mom said she'll get a hotel room for me if I need it. Now that it's getting close and there is still no LO here, I'm worried. Here's what will be left in our house after Jan. 25. Folding chairs, kitchen things, food, TV, laptops, necessity toiletries, necessary clothes, LO's PnP, swing and all her necessities. THATS IT! We'll be sleeping on air matress's! DH's reasoning behind them coming early is that we won't be here for awhile because we will be in Missouri looking for houses for at least 10days, then coming home and be able to move to our new place as soon as possible. But I can't help but think...what if LO is late? What if I have to have a c/s? I'm just so frustrated with the timing. I know he can't do anything about it now and I'm sure we'll be fine. It's just a lot to handle with 11 days left in a pregnancy. Ok, vent over. OH...p.s...I'm accepting any and all labor dust, considering we were advised to wait until after LO's first 2 week appoinment to travel. So we're just waiting on her now!

Wow - that timing really does suck. I'm sorry to hear it! Good luck with everything!!

The timing really does stink.  I would try not to worry about it so much...things always have a way of working themselves out.  Hope things go well.  GL

Oh man, Ok this stinks BUT everything will be ok. IF you go late or need a C/S I'm sure your mom and everyone will help out and make sure you don't have to do anything and make sure your comfortable. I don't think they will expect you to be lifting or moving or anything. Now if LO comes sooner than that, then you will just have to deal with the mess and moving for a little, like you said the military will move everything for you. Is it possible to let DH handle all this and you stay with family (mom) until it's over? Will DH be around for the birth? I read your post but it was a lot and forgot if u said he would or not. I feel awful for you military wives, I would go crazy with DH around. Are you moving far from family?

DH will handle it all, I know he will. I can't stay with family, my mom is the closest and lives 7 hours away. DH will be here for the birth, I can't imagine him being gone either, I'd go nuts. We already live far from family. We're both originally from Minnesota, live in Florida now. My mom is the closest, but she's still 7 hours away. Everyone else is a good 24 hours away! Lol

Thats the same thing with DH and I, I lived in FL and now we're in NC, and know no one.. All my friends and family are hours away. My mom lives here though, but I never see her. I'm SO sorry your going through this. I'm sending you ALL the labor dust, even mine..So your LO can come early and all this will work out
