Thanks! I can't believe there's only a couple months left! I've been chomping at the bit to do this "nesting"-type stuff for awhile, so I'm really enjoying making some progress. I'm really looking forward to getting furniture in the room and decorating, though. Tonight I took down tape and put on outlet covers, which is not nearly as fun.Love the colors!! And the fan is AWESOME!! You're getting so close! Are you having fun nesting? I loved it!!
We have that ceiling fan in our son's room. Be aware that it (our model at least) only takes 25 watt bulbs and puts out VERY little light. You may need some lamps.
You know, it actually is going quite quickly for me too. The first trimester was slow, just hoping to get through the riskiest time (and being in disbelief for most of it), but once the second trimester hit and I realized this was for real, time started flying by.Congratulations on your DugBaby ! The time seems to pass very quickly watching you on the Disboards but I bet it's not going by so quick for you.
Thanks! I surprise myself in the mirror sometimes when I catch a glimpse of my belly. I don't feel too different most of the time and, looking down, it's not that noticeably big, but the reflections sometimes catch me by surprise. And, yes, Dug Baby is still pretty active. It feels different now that she's getting bigger, though. It was pokes and jabs and now it's more big areas of movement and shifting around. Pretty cool. I'm completely on board with you on the amazement and sense of wonder about everything. I love just sitting around with my hands on my belly and feeling her move. So awesome.Love the colors!! I love purple and that fan looks awesome! I can't believe how big your cute pregnant tummy is getting! Is Dug baby kicking you like crazy? I remember when I was pregnant I just kept thinking that it was so amazing that a brand new human being was growing inside me.... sounds silly I guess but the wonder of it was so overwhelming to me. I still look at my son and feel that I am so blessed to have him.
Thank you! I hope so!The room looks like it will be super cute!
Yes, it does make it seem more real. I've spent a lot of this time not quite believing this is really happening, but now that she has a room, it does make it seem more real. I'm sure especially once we get the crib assembled and put in there it will become even more real.The room looks great. I know with having the room painted, it is starting to seem real. Not too much longer until Princess DugBaby makes her appearance.
Thanks! I can't wait to Disney-fy it! We have so many ideas, so I don't know how it will all turn out!What a pretty room! I can't wait to see how it gets Disneyfied!
Thanks! I'm really happy with how the colors came out. We agonized over just the right purples to use, but I think we made good choices in the end.The nursery looks great, purple is my favorite color! The fan is really cute!
Thanks! I just never was a big fan of pink, so I feel like purple is a good compromise between my favorite color (blue) and a more "girly" color. Hopefully Dug Baby will like it too!Love the purple & that fan! Her room is going to be too cute. I love that you aren't going crazy with pink like so many do. This is gorgeous!
Thanks for the advice! I think I've been relatively lucky comfort-wise and symptom-wise, but I will agree that it is getting harder each day. I'm definitely slower and get worn out so quickly. And doing simple things (putting on shoes, rolling over, picking things up, etc.) are no longer simple. However, I'm still wanting there to be more time before she comes -- too much we want to do first!Wow! You are getting so close. I don't know if I told you this but I am about four months away from graduating to become a Nurse Practitioner and I am currently working in the clinical setting. One of the MDs I am training with is an OB/GYN. Let me warn you/encourage you and tell you that the last 2-4 weeks (different for everyone) you are pregnant you will get progressively uncomfortable. Just think happy Disney thoughts and know that before you get to the point that you can't stand it Dug Baby will be here!! It happens every time - when a soon-to-be-Mom says "I can't make it much longer, I'm so uncomfortable" then surprise within the next day or so she'll go into labor. I love your fan and the poly pic and I think using your existing dressers is a GREAT idea, I found once my son was a few months old I hardly ever used his changing table - I usually just ended up changing him wherever was handy so thought afterward that the money spent on the changing table wasn't worth it. Better off saving that money for a poly stay!!
During the relaxation thing, I was thinking how original I was to be visualizing the Poly beach. Who knew that Dug was too? I love listening to the Soarin' music. I can see and smell it as the music plays! But, hey, the Price is Right is good too! Definitely whatever works...I'm planning to be pretty flexible in that way!Awww! I love that you were both thinking of the Poly beach! That's too sweet. Soarin music sounds wonderful, btw. Super relaxing! I just remember watching The Price Is Right with Blakers. Whatever works, right?
Thanks! I love the look of the crib and it got really good reviews too. We bought it a little early on because we got a crazy deal (around 1/2 price). I'm anxious to get a mattress in it, though...still so empty!LOVE your crib! It looks exactly like the one we bought for Andrew! Excellent choice! (Ours' was recalled years later, so I know it's not the same though. Scary, huh? He never really slept in it anyway.) The fan pics are pretty nifty, too.
Very true. I'm a huge fan of saving money, so it's hard for me to justify spending four times as much when I know we'd have a great time at AoA. However, we do love the Poly and the location helps to justify doing it for this first trip with a little one...rolling the stroller right onto the monorail, walking to the TTC, etc. I know that we'd enjoy the convenience.Art of Animation might be a better choice for the wallet, but it is crazy obvious how much you two love the Poly. The location would be wonderful for your first time with a little one along, too. I would keep leaning that way, but you know you'll love either when the time comes.
Thanks! I've been so slow on updating this that, after this Friday, we move to EVERY week appointments! Wow, time flies!Love the room!! Can't wait to see it totally finished! I just love the purples, and the fan is really neat too.
Glad you passed you GD test! Yay! And up to every 2 weeks now! It'll go by in a flash, I swear!
Thank you!Great job on the ceiling fan and crib. I love the choice of relaxation music.
I was surprised to find something so fun! I think it's more popular with little boys, but I love it for our nursery anyway!I love that fan! What a unique touch to the room. It made me want to look at new lighting fixtures for our house.
I love it. Probably the thing I listed to most often from our "Four Parks, One World" soundtrack.Great choice on the music. It's one of my favorite soundtracks too.
The new and shiny is tempting, for sure. When I look at pictures or read reports on how good the food court is, it's very appealing! I have thought about a split stay too. We are definitely fans of that, as we've done it on many trips. I'm hesitant about doing it on the first trip with a little one, though. But I would love to visit AoA if we didn't stay there too...not sure how convenient it would be, though. If nothing else, it should still be there for future visits, i guess.We were looking at Art of Animation recently too. It looks pretty tempting since it's all new and shiny. I can understand how much you love Poly though, considering your history with the place. Maybe a split stay... 2 nights at AofA and the rest at Poly? The next time we are at WDW, we have already decided to make a special trip to AofA to see it if we don't stay there.
Pretty good still. Getting tired easily, but still going. Only a month and a day left until the due date!How are you feeling?
I NEED THOSE FAIRY WINGS!!! Where did you get them? How much??
I'll respond to the rest when I have more time (eating lunch at work now), but just wanted to answer this one quick:
They were on the top of one of the clearance racks at Buy Buy Baby. Marked down to $1.99. They also had some fairy wands for $.99. Our store had a bunch of them. Not sure if there is one near you?
DARN YOU! NO! I do not! IF you happen to get there again and see them I'd be happy to pay you for them!! LOL
If I'm up there again soon and they have them, I'll definitely grab you a pair! If nothing else, we could always arrange a "wing-share" with ours!
Thanks! I'm so glad that I've had a pretty easy pregnancy too! Hopefully she'll hang out for a few more weeks, because we're still working on the room (and other things...like finding daycare, etc!)I'm so glad you're having a happy, healthy pregnancy! You look great and so does Dug baby's room! Love the pix you've put up so far and the super cute outfits you got her. I remember shopping for my son when I was pregnant and it was so exciting. On the size - you never know!!, you could have a small kiddo who is still in 12 mo size at 15 mo or a big kiddo.... you never know what you're going to get but I would have bought the same size you did because a little too big is always better than a little too small On the AAA discount, my understanding is you can't get it directly through Disney - you have to book with AAA through their travel agency. My aunt and cousin swear by it and always use AAA but I get military discounts (because my hubby is retired Air Force) so I always go through Disney because usually nothing beats their military discounts - thank you Disney for rewarding our troops I can't believe you are up to your weekly visits - Dug baby will be here so soon!!!
Thanks! Good point about the skirts fitting, even if a bit big! Also great idea about wearing that for the Little Mermaid ride! I keep forgetting about that one, but so excited to ride something new!I NEED THOSE FAIRY WINGS!!! Where did you get them? How much??
I think 18m should be okay, esp for a top and skirt, but every baby is different. So far, Aria fits in 3-6m still and she's just over 6m, but she's in 9m-12m PJ's due to her length! So it's sort of up in the air! I got that little mermaid outfit in size 12m and I'm hoping she can wear it at 10m for our December trip, to ride the new Little Mermaid ride!
Congrats on the countdown, it's soo close now! And you look great!
I saw that Tink outfit...super cute! I haven't stopped by BBB again yet, but I will try to do so soon to nab you some fairy wings!Hahaha okay thank you for keeping your eyes peeled - did you see the pic of Aria in her Tink outfit I got from Etsy? I think that will be her MNSSHP costume, bc I just love it so much! And it needs WINGS! LOL
Hope you're feeling great! Closing in on 36 weeks! Yay!
Bailey likes to be the practice baby!You're so close now!! The nursery looks better and better. I love the pic of you reading to Bailey. So sweet! That's one of our favorites, too.
The outfits are adorable. All babies are different, but I'll hope they fit perfectly when the time comes. With tops like that, they would still be cute if a touch too big on her. I know both of my boys seemed to run a bit behind the sizes, but you never know! The fairy wings are soo cute, too!
Love your Disney math skills! You're getting some crazy deals with those gift cards.
