Poor babies (all three of you), I hope you all feel better.

I got a nap today so I do feel a little better....in fact I was able to write the next update.

So I left off at Disney Eve…..

Our flight was departing at 7:10am. The airport is a 45 minute drive from our house. The plan was to wake up at 4am, get ready and pack the last minute stuff. I had dressed Liam (DS) in the shirt I wanted him to travel in and pj bottoms for bed so that at 4:30 I could just change his diaper and put him in sweat pants. We figured that he’d keep sleeping in the car on the way to the airport. (Toddler Tip: We put Liam in Huggies Overnight diapers for the plane rides….worked like a charm! No leaks.) Here’s the flaw with my little plans. I sleep like carp when I’m pregnant, let alone the fact I was excited/stressed to be going to Disney. I think I managed 3-4 hours of sleep. The last time I woke up was 3am. I lay on the couch until 3:45am. Liam decided at 4am he wanted to get up too. Great. All I can say is thank god for 24 hour PBS Spout. He sat on the couch watching TV while DH and I continued to get ready.

We were on the road by 4:30am and at the airport by 5:20am. We always do curbside luggage check-in when available….it was so early in the morning that we had to wait a couple minutes to the skycap to show up.

DH brought the SUV to long term parking and Liam and I made our way to the food court to wait for him and for Liam to drink his milk that I couldn’t get thru security.

Here’s Liam enjoying his breakfast milk.

(I purchased Liam a seat on the plane because (1) DH suffers from air-sickness and would not be able to hold DS and (2) I think it’s a much safer way to travel)

DH then joined us with his carry on and the car seat. I asked DH where the stuff giraffe that Liam travels with was and that I had attached a modified tether to? (See PTR for my craftiness) No giraffe…..”He didn’t know” it was supposed to come. Um….Hello??? It’s the giraffe Liam travels with AND it has the tether I made for vacation attached to it. I had a mild hissy fit and then let it go, nothing I could do about it at this point.

Next up….getting thru TSA security with 3 carry-ons, 1 car seat, 1 stroller, 1 311 bag of liquids, 2 adults, 1 toddler and 1 bag of baby food/juice to declare. Sounds like fun doesn’t it?

If anyone is curious, the baby at 14 weeks is currently the size of a lemon and weighs 1 ½ ounces! And I’m starting to feel it fluttering around every once in a while.

First, congrats!

Second, love the TR so far! Subscribing!!

Liam looks so cute enjoying his morning milk! Hope the giraffe wasn't missed on the trip and that the flight goes smoothly!

And I am curious about the baby so please keep those updates coming as well!

 

[kimbo0569]

I'm subbing! Congrats on your pending new arrival!

 

[TarzansKat]

Ugh. Travelling while pregnant. And with a toddler. How much do I admire you right now!

And I know the joy of getting all that stuff through security, believe me. Looks like so far you're off to a good start! I can't wait to read more.

 

[annie1995]

Loving your report so far!!! Can't wait for more!!

 

[Stacybaeasm]

Congrats on the addition to your family. I don't envy you trying to get through the airport with all that stuff AND being pregnant. I have trouble just with myself most of the time. I'm loving your report. I can't wait for more!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I would have thrown a hissy fit about the giraffe, too!

Liam enjoying his breakfast milk -- ahhhh!!!!

Flutterings? I loved those! It was my favorite part of being pregnant!

 

[scrapbookinmickeyfan]

Congratulations on the newest addition to your family. Enjoying your trip report. I look forward to reading more.

 

[trixiequilts]

I'm beginning to think you're Superwoman, and I bet Superwoman makes it through security just fine!

btw~Turkey Mike in your siggie is absolutely hilarious. Did you design him?

Traveling in the first trimester is much easier than the second trimester like I did in 2007.

Loving your report so far!!! Can't wait for more!!

Thank you and welcome.

I had pared it down to as little as I thought I could....now I'd carry on even less.

The giarffe thing wouldn't be the only time in the trip where something would be forgotten because I didn't specifically tell DH to bring it/get it.

No Superwoman here....just super organized.

I stole Turkey Mike from another DISer so feel free to steal it from me!

I SO feel that pain... last January we traveled to Puerto Rico with two children under two and two tweens- the amount of carry on luggage alone was mind boggling!
