Waiting on DH's transfer... (long)

DH and I are moving from Eugene, Oregon to Portland, Oregon (2 hours away) about half way through the pregnancy.  DH works at Costco and has been for just over 3 years now.  He put in for his transfer in February, hoping that it would go through some time in June, which is when our apartment lease is up (June 30th).  Sad to say, we're still waiting to hear from them about an available position for him. 

We live in a college town right now and all the leases are either month-to-month or on school year leases (September to June) and summer leases (July and August) and our landlord asks all the tenants in April if they will be renewing their lease for the summer and/or school year or not.  We would love to say that we are not renewing for summer, but since we still haven't heard anything we can't say if we'll need that summer lease or not.  So the upside of this situation is that we talked to our landlord and they're giving us until the end of May to let them know if we're staying for the summer or not.

When we finally do make the move, we're moving into my MIL's house in Portland.  She is moving to Las Vegas with her soon-to-be husband, but does not want to sell her house or rent it to strangers, so DH and I and DH's sister and her husband are all moving into the house (neither of us two families can afford it alone, and it's big enough for both families - it's 6bd, 2bth).  We're all excited and think it's going to be great with us four adults living together, plus SIL and her DH have two kids of their own, and will be a big help once our baby is born. 

Anyway, the whole reason for MIL moving out of her house is because she cannot afford all of the bills on her own.  She has a lot of debt racked up and wants to just get rid of it and the huge financial burden of being the only one providing for her family, but wants to keep the house in the family.  Problem is, she can't move out until right before we move in, because someone has to be paying the rent/mortgage either way.  And SIL & her DH can't move in until we move in because they can't afford it by themselves.

And to make it just a little more complicated, since I'm pregnant and there's a two-hour difference between the cities, I will be switching care, but I can't let my current office know when I'll be leaving and the new office know when I'll be joining until we hear back about the transfer and know for sure when all of this will be happening.

So basically everything is on hold until we find out when DH gets his transfer.  It's just a huge waiting game.  Ugh.  Very frustrating to have a huge list of things to do, but not be able to do any of it until that first, very important item gets done.
