Mike has gone back to work and I'm still trying to find my groove with 3 kids. The biggest challenge is that technically Israel and Nairi are both still babies and both nursing and I feel like I always having someone asking to nurse which doesn't allow me to get a whole lot done other than sit on the couch and well... nurse.
Nairi is doing well though and sleeps alot during the day and fusses a bit more at night. All in all though so far she is a pretty content baby and surprise of all surprises she barely spits up. After having 2 kids that spit up 3+ times after every feeding its so NICE to not to have to worry about all the spit up getting everywhere!!!! :o)
In between all the recovering from childbirth and resting up we have been busy with housing details. Signing this paper and that paper and dropping them off at the Realtor's office. Gathering this and that for the mortgage company. Gathering boxes, tape, bubble wrap and other various moving supplies. Thankfully we were able to get most of this stuff done while Mike was home last week so that I didn't have to run all these errands with 3 kids in tow. We also decided that we better get a move on packing since its pretty much impossible to get anything done during the day with the kids. We have been packing an hour or so a night after they go to bed and now have packed up probably 50% of the house already.
We have hired a moving company to do the actual move of stuff and they are booked for May 27th! Since we are moving within the same city they will load the truck, drive the 15-20ish min to our new house and unload all in the same day.
The last glitch in the whole buying and selling process is the appraisal on the house we are selling. It is happening today and we are hoping that the house appraises for the selling price or higher. so the whole deal can go through!!
As far as the new house, we are getting the carpets cleaned and the air ducts cleaned and moving in. The slow process of replacing carpeting with hardwood and removing wallpaper and updating the kitchen and bathrooms will happen as funds allow over the next 10+ years. First things first we are fencing in the backyard. Israel is an active boy and I can't be outside with the kids all day with the baby so we are fencing in the backyard so Keira and Israel can safely play outside without me running to get Israel from the street. Second project is the get the insanely over grown bushes in the front of the house cut down and third project is to get the massive swing set we bought last year put together in the backyard so the kids can start playing on it!
