Details

Here's more details for you.

She was here about 1/2 an hour, came in and asked to see the kitchen, checked the water temp, asked to see the kid's bath and bedroom (loved the decor!), checked our potential second bedroom (if we needed it as a bedroom we'd move the office upstairs), took a backyard tour, and we were good to go. She didn't even enter the rooms we had really stressed out over! Also, we'd been really stressed out about our cats' worse habits, but she herself has 5 cats and 2 dogs and was all, "Meh, you do what you gotta do."

Sat down and filled out the paperwork; we did have one change to make from what the agency had sent them, but it's not a big deal. We had asked the agency that our bottom age range be "Walking... which is, what? Like... 2? Ish?" and she definitively wrote AGE 2 on the sheet. We wanted more flexibility... my niece just started walking and she's only 11 months. So with our approval the inspector decided to inspect for the 0 - 6 range, so we'll have to sort everyone out and get them all on the same page. Which is fine.

We're approved as-is, since the only thing that needs addressing we had already planned to address.... we had some damage to the play set. So we're good to go!

Now we just have to impress the Fire Marshal. *grin*

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers everyone!

Hooray and congrats!!! That's so exciting, we've been thinking of and praying for you.

And that's great about the age range flexibility - Christopher and Emy both walked at nine months. I saw a friend's daughter walk at 7.5 months. It was so weird to see!!

But whatever age your little one arrives, you are going to have so much fun... :)
