stressing out... (venting)

My bf/fiance wants to move back to fl in january. 2 months after our little girl gets here. Im freaking out about driving in the snow (never done it) and my daughter will be in the car and all the mountains.... and i cant stop planning everything, but its stressing me out. Im the kind of person who has to plan EVERYTHING a million times before it happens and i dont take getting help very easily. The money, renting a vehicle, bringing the baby on a 1300 mile car ride.. all of it im just getting overwhelmed... ughhhhh. Okay sorry had to get that out.

I live in upstate new york, along lake ontario. And will be driving down the coast all the way to central Fl. Im also nervous just because i will have my baby in the car. My mom told me just to be prelared and leave when i know there are no major storms coming through. It should only take us maybe a day and a half. (Im adding extra time due to having the baby with us)

where are you moving from? I live in Vermont...I totally understand bring scared of driving in the snow but the roads are kept cleaned off during winter. you just shouldn't do it during a storm.

I live in canada and the trick to driving in the snow is drive for the road condition and if you need to pull over do it. If the roads are snow packed and slick slow down even if it means going under the speed limit. Drive the speed your comfortable with.

I used to live in Missouri, don't be too worried about driving in the snow. As long as you have the right tires and you drive safely, ya know, not going over the speed limit, you should be fine. The highways are usually the first to get cleared of snow when a big snow storm goes through anyway.

if you rent a car get one with snow tires. pack a lot of blankets and extra things that you need day today.
the move will not be as bad as you think, I understand your worry I moved from Texas the Idaho pregnant and that was stressful so I cannot imagine with my baby already being born.
just plan and pack early to get stress off your mind
