{{{{{{{{{{{{Schatje}}}}}}}}}}}}}} big hugs to you!!
We just went through the same thing last year. We had moved from Hawaii to live in England for 5 yrs and then moved to Wyoming where we are now. Big changes for all our kids(our second son, 17 and our daughter 14, and our youngest boy who's 6).
Our two older ones finally forgave us for making them leave their friends. Our 6 yr old who has the anxiety issues, ADHD, Tourettes, mood disorder, has been the most flexible which was surprising to me.
Don't blame yourself for the changes. You already listed all the perfectly normal reasons why a parent would move. Now with the economy the way it is, we all have to consider finances/living arrangements over our kids or our own desires.
Maybe you could take drives up to your house being built and mark days left til it's done and take pictures so your boy can make his own scrapbook on your new house. Use the time to make a new hobby for your boy to occupy his time(and take his mind off the changes). Good luck and please don't be too hard on yourself, there's alot for you to get used to also. Take care!
