Hi hi.
Wash out today at the beach, so we went to the outlets, which was a cluster bc j was a mess. We ended up getting him size 13(!!) Nikes for the fall (the 12s did fit perfectly now, but not much room to grow and I'm cheap like that, but the salesman agreed!). And we got his assistant teacher a Lululemon big scarf and they adjusted the price to be less than expected, so I got one for me as well.
Last night we did impromptu Ferber starting at 1:30am. That was fun. She just kept waking up when we put her in the crib. For j I left and mh did it, but this time I had to hide in the bed next to her PNP. Woof, heartbreaking.

Boo tgrimes. Did I miss how things are today? Did the pups make it over to your ILs? The water has receded around my house so MH will spend the night there with the dogs and go back to his parents house tomorrow. He was still sleeping at 10:30 this morning.

tgrimes where are you flying to? We got home from Orlando about an hour ago. We had a 2.5 hour delay. I heard them announce a flight to Houston and I was surprised they were flying there. Glad the water is receding by your house but sorry you are stuck.

Hi ggandlee and @calimochoo!!!! Update us on your lives please. I don't know where to start. Life has been so busy and crazy recently. The big things- We are moving. My hospital is building a brand new hospital in a different part of the state, about 3.5 hours away, and I have accepted a position in the ER there. I know. It's crazy. I still can't even believe it myself. I am heartbroken to leave our dream house and land, but for so many reasons it is the right thing to do for our family. In the end (a few months after the move when DH joins us) we will actually have more stability in our schedules and more time together as a family, even though I will be working more. We will move probably mid-Dec and I will start work Jan 2 and the hospital will open Jan 22. DH does not have a job there yet (and nothing promising on the horizon), so will go back and forth and continue his current job here through the end of Feb in order to get his bonus and some paid vacation. I will be working 12 hr shifts, half of them overnights, so I guess we will have to hire a babysitter or someone to help with daycare pick ups/drop offs on days I work while DH is still here. Our house sold almost immediately. We will rent back from the buyers until we move in Dec. We really wanted to build again, but there are currently not any great land options and we are on a limited timeframe. So, we bought a really cute house with lots of character and potential; however, it needs some serious updating. We will be renovating all bathrooms, the kitchen, and painting the entire interior, top to bottom, and tearing out and rebuilding the fireplace in the living room. The goal is to have the renovations completed by the time we move in mid-Dec, but I think it is much more likely that we will be moving into a construction site. I am insane and have baby fever right now. As if that would be a good idea to throw a pregnancy into this mix. I have a mirena and clearly am trying to shelve those thoughts for at least another year. I don't need to be pregnant and trying to take maternity leave in the first year of opening a new hospital and ER. Between the normal crazy life stuff and going back and forth house hunting and trying to get started figuring out the remodel, it's been a little nuts around here. Maggie tonight was crying and saying that she wanted a "stay home day with both mommy AND daddy". Talk about breaking my heart and making me feel like horrible parent! However, it definitely did make me feel like we have made the right decision to move. Soon, sweetheart, we will have lots more stay home days together as a family.

Glad the water is receding by your house but sorry you are stuck. Both airports are closed so I'm not sure how anyone could get to Houston. I fly into hobby airport.

Oh wow ggandlee!! You really have been busy! Congratulations on the new job. That's great that you were able to sell your home so quickly! But I'm sure bittersweet as well. But ultimately it sounds like a great decision overall for your family. Which direction from your current hospital are you heading? (MH has a business in NE AR that we spend a lot of time at.)
