Nervous to relocate

It was always the plan....
Given notice on our private rent, to relocate... 2 hours away from family.
I'm all for it, and we've found a property... But now it's happening I'm absolutely bricking it...
A house came up and potentially moving in 3 weeks!
But I Feel guilty for taking our young children away from grandparents, feel guilty for wanting to make a go of it somewhere new, apprehensive about being far away from family and how we will settle.
Worried we won't know anyone with small children (2 Yr old and current 5 week old).

Aibu to feel scared/anxious/guilty about relocating and make a fresh with my little family, a better area of the country for the kids to grow up.

Any tips for moving day and relocating also pls?

Are you literally managing the move in one day? Pack as though for a holiday or day to day survival for one week in the car, including bedding. Then apart from the beds everything else can theoretically wait to be found as even with the best packing and labelling things seem to wander once in boxes!

And good luck!

Hoping. To. Do it in a day.
One van and a few cars
(guidelines say one household can help move) as we really can't afford 600+ for removals, which in an ideal world would happen
