Officially moving

So last Thursday and early Friday were very exciting and dramatic for the Larson clan. We FINALLY got an offer letter concerning Brian's new job in Virginia. The problem was that it stated all the information we already knew and didn't have any other information. It stated his starting wage, his bonus information, his stock options, etc. But nothing concerning a start date, a moving date, a relocation stipend, etc. It actually said at that bottom of the letter "let us know what Monday you would like to start." WTHeck??? Weird. I, that's right me, had Brian call his contact back and say "Ummm WTheck?" To that the guy responded "Oopps. Let me call you tomorrow morning."

Thursday night Brian was so excited, he started packing and doing last minute yard work. I was so excited I packed one box. That's right, one box. Being fat and pregnant and limited in most everything makes everything interesting. One box and my back hurt and I was getting tight spasms in my stomach area. Call me paranoid, go ahead, but I don't want anything to bring about preterm labor or early labor. I DO NOT WANT BED REST, HOSPITAL BED REST, LIMITED BED REST, OR PREMATURE BABIES!!! If it happens, it happens. But I want to be able to say I didn't ignore anything and I did everything in my power to keep my babies inside. Luckily, Brian understands.

Friday morning we got an early morning phone call, 8AM. His contact had some more information for us. Because he forgot to add some numbers and dates into the original offer letter, he had to redo it and submit it AGAIN for approval. At this time we learned that this gentleman was new to this position (so I am trying to cut him so slack). He found out that they want Brian to start working on April 25th. Good a date to look forward too. He said that he would put us in contact with the relocation specialist on Monday. He will fast track the newer version of the offer letter and hopefully have it to Brian by Tuesday.

So at least we have a starting date! April 25th seems so soon and yet so far away. Lucky for us we wanted a quick start date. My pregnancy clock is ticking and we need to move while the doctors still tell me I can, move early enough to get established with a new OBGYN and fetal specialist, figure out our hospital situation, and especially get out there early enough so that there is no drama with transferring insurance companies. So April 25th is good.

Virginia or BUST!!!
