Quick updates:
We are moved in & mostly settled! :) Moving went well. Closing on both houses went well! Just have some decor type things to do and finish organzing some things.
Austin: Doing very well with his speech! :) Getting tall & able to do all the steps in the new house really well. Does well sharing with Mason most days.
Mason: Getting big...can't believe his first birthday is in less than a month! He is still just saying dada...wont say mama ..lil stinker! Food strike continues most days. He loves chasing Austin around the house!
Job: Still waiting. I talked to them last week and they don't think it'll be much longer thankfully. :)

In the midst of packing I figured I should update the blog before the computer gets packed up!
House: Had the final walk through last night to put sticky notes where the painter needs touch ups. Also had to note anything we wanted fixed. There are just a few minor things left for them to do (ie: vent cover in boys bathroom, weather stripping & permanent front door knob). Everything looks great and we cant wait to move in. I was wrong in thinking the rest of the appliances come this week...they will be delivered Saturday. The remaining ones are: refrigerator, washer & dryer. They aren't covered in the builders theft insurance so they don't get delivered til we get possession.
Current house is finally done with negotiation crap. The buyer has repeatedly told her agent that she is on a very limited income so we fixed some stuff and are giving her a hefty sum ($900!) to let her fix the rest (the rest of the decisions are more personal/up to her liking that's why we went the $$ route).
Austin: Talking up a storm! We LOVE it! :) "Heavy" is a common word heard lately...he likes to attempt to move/pick up the moving boxes haha! He is growing up so fast....fun to see all that he can do but sad that he is moving towards a big boy and less dependent on me at times.
Mason: Crawling everywhere! Starting to pull himself up whenever he feels like it. Putting himself to sleep off and on for the last week or so. I think he will like getting out of the pack n play and into his crib. It actually is scheduled to arrive today so he will sleep there starting Saturday night (silly to assemble in this house for just a few nights)! Hopefully all goes well!
Job: They are working on hospital credentialing and will be calling me with a better start date soon. They are shooting for early June. :)

Happy Mothers Day!! :)
We had Mason's baby dedication this morning at church. Such a sweet time. :) Then I got free Starbucks on the way home -- my favorite barista was working! Meeting Alan & Cassie at a halfway point with my parents after naptime to celebrate some more. :) Have a great day everyone!

Quick updates:
~Everything for the new house should be wrapped up by end of Friday!! We have our final walk through Tuesday night with the one of the builders. :)
~Appraisal came back at a good value. Guess we don't get to know the actual number unless its way off. Whatev. So the buyer wants us to fix 2 things from the inspection and then we will be done.
~Packing...not going so well. Need to get more motivated I guess!! We just have a lot going on in general with furniture shopping, errand running, buying new stuff for the house, etc.
~Last day at St Joe is today then I am supposed to start at Parkview early next month. They are supposed to call me this week to let me know more details.
~Austin started saying "plane" and "apple" this week. :) He also says "deal" a lot when trying to get you to do something for him haha...its what we say to him as well!! :)
~Mason is a crawling machine! He goes everywhere and is getting really fast!

Busy, busy, busy....
House: They've not quite been able to stick to the posted schedule the last 2 weeks for various reasons. The permanent electricity was done Thursday but the electrician was unable to make it out to our house Friday to install our lights so that will be done Monday. Carpet was supposed to be put down Thursday & Friday...get there today and the carpet pad has been tacked/stapled down and the carpet is still rolled up. Assuming that will be done early next week?! On the plus side... the wood for the foyer floor arrived, the toilets and sinks are installed. The mirrors are hung. The pantry and closet shelving is all installed as well. The banister for the stairs is done. Shutters done. Driveway, walkway and sidewalk was also poured on Friday. So there was definetly progress this week!! :)
Current house had its inspection last Friday the 26th and then the appraisal this past Friday. Inspection did not find any major flaws with the house...just little stuff. We should hear back about the appraisal on Monday or Tuesday. Hopefully the house comes back with a value that is the same or more than what the seller & us agreed upon for the price!
Packing has started. We are now both parking outside and putting boxes in the garage as they are packed. Crazy & overwhelming at times.
Austin: Speech is going great!! :) Can't keep up with all the new words & phrases. Boys met their summer babysitter on Thursday and they seem to like her. :) Austin is also doing AWESOME at sharing toys with Mason lately...lets hope he keeps it up!! :)
Mason: 6 teeth! Eating his solid food better if it comes in a pouch...still mostly rejecting the homemade food and I think its because its mushier. Not liking puffs or the dairy free (made with coconut milk) yogurt melts. He also started crawling this week!! :) Crazy that he is mobile now but he is much happier since he can go where he wants.
Job: Work pulled a fast one on me and rejected my prn request!! Who turns down help?!? Morons. They claim they have 2, maybe 3, traveling NNPs coming in the next few weeks. Whatev. So my last day is May 8....I asked if I could extend my last day til the end of May since they didnt approve my prn request and they said no. I had given my "last day before prn status" as May 8 because they scheduled me for some back to backs at the end of the schedule and I was scheduled to work the day we are moving. So after May 8 I don't work again til I start at Parkview in June. HR is supposed to calling me early next week with a better idea of a start date...dang hospital credentialing...
