It has been a HUGE week. As of right now, we are out of our rental in Coffs, and are staying overnight in an Air B&B in Coffs before we make the five hour trip up north to the Sunshine Coast. We are exhausted. Mum and Geoff came back for a few days to help out, and they did all of the outside clean up and packed up all my plants and pots, as well as helped inside. We are very grateful. Moving is always stressful, but this time has been so much easier than last time. The movers only took four hours to pack this morning (there were five of them!), and the kids were remarkably good (Arley was a little off, but we are all stressed, so I still think he did well). After the house was packed up we took Bella up to a dog cafe that we found and had lunch while she had her lunch on the floor. It was very cute. We will be picking up our new house keys on Monday morning, and the movers will be arriving to unpack at 1pm on Monday, so we will be staying in an Air B&B until Tuesday. And then the unpacking madness will begin.
We had a little bit of upsetting news this week. Remember how I tried to get the kids’ blood tested and only managed to get Carmie’s (we knew she is low in iron so we wanted to check it out). Well, we got her results yesterday, and it turns out she has Celiac Disease. It is not 100% positive, but the doctor says she has it. Jeff and I have to get tested too and if either of us have it she is a definite, and if we don’t, she has to have an endoscopy. We also have to get Arley tested, so that will be a huge mission. It is stressing me out, but I am trying not to worry. Carmie is sad and had a good cry about it yesterday, but we are trying not to worry about it until she gets the 100% yes. She has to continue eating gluten like normal until we know if she needs to get the endoscopy. Our lives are hard enough already, and feeding the kids is a nightmare, but I’m trying not to think about it until after we are settled in. And if Arley has it, he will literally be down to eating frozen blueberries and rice.
So, moving on. We managed to get the kids out this week a few times. My friend kindly brought her daughters down to the neighbourhood park and asked the kids to join them down there so I could pack unhindered. Arley got too anxious and came home with me, but Carmie stayed and had a good play. We will miss the few friends we have made here, and we will definitely miss Coffs and all the lovely places to go. However, we are really looking forward to our next adventure!
These photos are all out of order. The bad photo of Arley is in there to prove he exists! No other shots of him this week.
