Oooh boy! We were worried this was going to happen to us! Dh just got orders and before we got them they were saying "Jan/Feb"...well...baby is due the beginning of Feb so I was a little stressed. Our actual PCS date is 30 July now, though. Much better!!!
But anyways, when our baby is 2 weeks old we will be driving from here in Little Rock back home to Tampa for a couple weeks. We actually just spoke today about my possibly flying with the baby while he makes the drive with the dogs. We figure...first off, it's a LONG drive and I'll be very...tender. Secondly, say the baby needs to eat every hour. Okay, well that's fine. But what if the baby is a "long" eater? So each stop is 30...40...50 min?? It would take FOREVER to get there. Is there any way that you and baby can fly and hubby can make the drive? I still have to look into it because I'm not sure I want my 2 week old on a plane with a bunch of germs...we'll see.
As for what you'll need...obviously...start packing now. If the military is moving you, great, but you'll still want to decide what you want with you until you get into your new house. Clothes for all of you, Dh's uniforms, plenty of diapers, etc. A pack and play would be fine for baby to sleep in until you are in your house (unless you are co-sleeping then you may not even need that!)...
I'm sure someone else will be a better help, lol, this is my first too!
