It's official!!! We're moving to Texas. Dan was offered a job at DELL and we have had an offer accepted on the house we really like. So now...as we prepare to move I feel like I have so much more to think about than I ever thought I would. Besides the logistics of the actual move like moving our stuff, moving our cars, getting Charleigh and I down there the least difficult way possible, being 31 weeks pregnant...etc,I am probably most worried about how it will affect her. Luckily my project manager husband is looking at this move like a project ( very small project compared to the other projects he's managed) and is taking a lot of the stressful decisions away from me. This has given me the ability to worry most about Charleigh and her reaction to everything. She'll be too young to remember living here but also too young to understand why we've moved. I just keep telling myself that as long as her momma and dada are there along with her dog and her toys, she should be a happy girl. We'll leave our house, go to my parents while our stuff is en route to Texas and then arrive the day after our stuff does down there. I can't seem to think of a way to make sure she realizes that we need to say goodbye to our house, yard, and neighborhood because we wont be back, but that it's okay. I think I'm so concerned because I want her to feel settled and comfortable in her new home before we flip her world upside down again in July and bring home a sibling for her. Maybe the new addition will make it feel more like home, at least that's what I am hoping. I'm hoping she will like her new room, spend time exploring the new house, be thrilled with her new big play area, and her new backyard. I'm also hoping we make new friends quickly so that we can be out and about which is how Charleigh seems to be happiest.
I think I need to let my anxiety turn into excitement and accept this new chapter of our lives. Just wish I could turn off my "worry wart" syndrome. :-(
