My husband is applying for a new job that would essentially be a huge promotion but it means an office about 4 hours away. If he gets it, we will have to move there is no doubt. He can't not apply because it is his ultimate goal job and people from within keep telling him to apply. That said, the timing couldn't be worse.
If he gets the job, he will have to get an apartment for during the week and will have to go down there approximately one month before my due date. Then I will have to be home with a 4 year old and the new baby by myself except for weekends.
We will eventually move, but first I have to find a new job (and I'm limited because we work in the same field but could no longer work together as we do now, plus the new location is more rural so there are fewer jobs available). Plus we have to figure out how to sell our house (we are completely upside on our mortgage) and find a new place to live. Until all of that falls into place, we will essentially be living apart 80% of the time.
I'm freaking out. He hasn't even gotten an interview yet, so I know we have a ways to go. I also know its a long shot because he really is probably too young/inexperienced for the job. That said, there is no internal candidate and he has huge support from very important people.
I am so nervous about being home by myself (and all of our family is out of state, so no help) with a 4 year old for my last month of pregnancy, then being home alone with a new born.
Anyone else going through this or been through this or anything similar? I can't stop thinking about it and it is freaking me out. But its not the sort of opportunity he can just let pass by.
