We left early Tuesday for Kansas to find a place to live. We got there late Wednesday and found a place in Lawrence on Friday. There are renters still in there and we didn't think we would be able to see the inside (property manager has to give them 24 hours notice). But they were nice enough to let us in early afternoon. We love it! So we applied for it and should know if we get it on Tuesday.
We left after we turned in our application and made it to Hays, KS and spent the night. Then left yesterday morning and got home just before midnight last night. We drove 1038 miles yesterday.
I am sore, exhausted, nauseas and have a headache. I honestly didn't think I was going to make it yesterday. But baby seems happier today now that she can stretch out. 
As far as the move goes, we are going to have to do ABF freight. The firm is giving us $4k in relocation but the bids came in at $8k.
The United Rep was really nice. He is the one that suggested ABF and we can use their movers. Its like $45 an hour for 2 and then another rate if we use 4. They also have used boxes half off. I tried Craigslist and I am having no luck finding boxes in my area.
So the plan is I have the baby on the 12th. Get out sometime late that week. Have ABF deliver a trailer and load on either Monday or Tuesday of the next week. Then we will leave out on Wednesday. Hubby will drive since I won't be released to drive yet and I will be taking care of the baby and the kids. I have no idea how long it will take us to get there with me being uncomfortable from the CS and nursing the baby. Should be pretty interesting. Oh and hubby starts work on May 27th.
In the meantime I got get ready for the baby and get some last minute things for the hospital. On top of an OB pre-op appointment, hospital registration appointment, kids dentist appoinement, myself the kids need haircuts, packing and cleaning. I am so exhausted as it is and thinking of everything the needs to be done is overwhelming.
Today I am trying to veg and get my thoughts straight. I hope.
