To make a long story short, Jim will be leaving for Russia on May 10th alone. He will split his time between Russia and Houston.....Russia for a month, then Houston for a month. He will be home for the entire month of September, when the baby is due. When the baby has his passport and visa, we will leave as a family for Russia, early to mid November.
There are many benefits to this plan. Because Jim will be traveling to Russia 3 times and staying in our duplex, he'll be able to start taking over supplies. He will also be able to 'scope out the town' and tell me what we'll need to bring. It's also nice that I'll be able to prepare at a much slower pace. The kids will ALL start school in the fall (and I'll have complete freedom for 2 weeks), but we'll pull them out in November. I will also be able to stay under the close eye of my doctor.
It will be super hard during the months that Jim is gone, but this plan is way better than the other options. Here are his travel dates for your viewing pleasure:
May 10-June 6 in Russia
June 7-July 9 in Houston
July 10-Aug 14 in Russia
Aug 15-Oct 3 in Houston
Oct 4-31 in Russia
Nov 1 back to Houston until we all move to Russia
