FROM SPOUSEBUZZ...

‘Tis the season and many of my friends are preparing to PCS.  Here are my seven reasons why  a PCS is similar to birthing  babies.  Maybe you can relate, whether you are about to have a baby or are about to move.

1. Both are due to my husband

His job as an active duty dude moves us all over the place. I would not choose to do this all on my own, but seeing as how I chose to marry him, I accept the consequences.

While both our boys look remarkably like me, I am not asexual and did not grow them simply by wishing to have two mini-male-mes roaming the planet.

2. Both have an anticipatory time frame

Sometimes we are lucky (unlucky?) enough to know waaaaay in advance that a move is in our future. But where?  And when?  And when will it be ‘official'? Then we find out the where and much like finding out the sex of a baby, an unknown factor is removed from the equation. Excitement followed by thrill and a sense of relief knowing that the "I don't know where we will be going" or "pink or blue" question is answered.

3. Fear and denial are in direct relation to the impending date

It is amazing how quickly anxiety rises in proportion to the time frame as the move/birth date approaches. Details that were no problemo only weeks before suddenly become the MOST. IMPORTANT. THING. EVER.

Suddenly you realize logistics are a crucial, and often overlooked, aspect of life. "This baby has to come out of where???" The fact that the fetus is putting enormous pressure on your nether regions is a daily reminder that yes, it will indeed come out of there.  Nope.  Not doing it.  Changed my mind.
