So, first of all, little baby Caroline is not coming home any time soon. She has lost 10 oz in two days and is not feeding well. She now has an ng tube and is being fed through that when she doesn't eat enough naturally. My DD is going in 4 times a day to nurse her and pumping the rest of the time so she's being fed bottles the other times during the day. It was such a disappointment that she wasn't coming home, but we all want her to remain as long as it is necessary. Once she gains back her weight, they'll remove the tube and keep her another 2 days to see if she maintains her weight. Still, we feel blessed that her breathing seems to be totally fine.
I leave Monday to help out and can't wait to be there again. Maybe I'll even get to see and hold the baby!
Both parts of our trip are now paid off. Sitting at 42 days. Waiting not so patiently for Mickey Mail.

Is it too early to start packing?
My first WDW memory its a tie between riding 20,000 leagues under the Sea in MK and riding the Skyway in MK. It would have been 1981 I think.
Your schedule looks great! congrats on paying the trip(s) off!! It's never too early to pack around this thread! Once I don't need the clothes I'll start packing them.
What weather are you hoping for?
I made this.....
But I hope to only need this one to put over my t-shirt in the a/c!
Looks like you put your new machine to good use!! That is adorable! Yeh, hope it is only needed for the AC!!!
Can somone tell me if the Mickey Mail comes in a big envelope?
The one MM comes in a little bit larger than a business size envelope and the other comes in a bit bigger (taller) and less long than the business. Whatever, it's fun to get it!!! Hope yours comes soon!
What is AAA Wishes viewing? We're going thru AAA, also.
You guys have really helped me with my feelings and are helping me thru a tough time. Our family funeral was beautiful today, but very difficult. Coming to the Disney sites really helps take my mind off of everything. As I said above, I'm going to start painting our shirts again tomorrow. Thank you again.
If I recall, the AAA Wishes viewing area is the grassy area to the right of the castle than you access by walking down a path. There is a shelter type area at the bottom. All you have to do is show your AAA card.
So glad you're feeling better about your trip.
A beautiful service really helps to say goodbye and deal with things. Have fun doing your shirts!
As of yesterday morning our trip is paid in full!
Now I just need to book our hotel at the airport and order our photopass+. We will be getting mickey mail of another kind here soon. I preordered Cinderella from DMC. I have it on vhs and I am getting the blueray and DVD combo. I bought mickey notebook for my trip notes and to put all our adr info in. We are at 53 days and can't wait. It seems like I have a lot to do and not enough time. I won't have much time this weekend as we have a birthday party and a babyshower. We are making the diaper cake and tie blanket today.
I am also stressing about work due to the fact I have a new boss. Its always a learning experience getting used to a new boss. I will continue to do what my job is as well as all the extras thrown at me.
There are your rainbows for paying off your trip! I would love to get the new Cinderella, but I have the old one and can't justify the purchase. That is something to look forward to, though!
I hope your new boss is a good one and that you can adjust quickly to her. Good luck!
Thats awesome, us too!!
Now is just the waiting game, aaahhh won't be long now. Hope everyone has a great Saturday. Tonight is my daughter's homecoming dance- the team lost the homecoming game last night booooo!! Oh well can't win them all I guess!! She is going to look so beautiful tonight. I will be at the salon with her for hours today- but it will be worth it for her this only comes once a year and I have always tried to make the day special for my girls- my daughter is a sophmore this year so I still have 2 more after this year then its all over--- no more kids in HS!! I can't believe how fast they grow up. I can still remember when they were little trying to even imagine what they would be like grown up and now they practically are and I feel old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But in a good way I guess. My girls Sarah- 23 and Rachel soon to be 16 in January are both such sweet and caring people and I am so equally proud of both of them. They do have their moments trust me but overall they are and have been such a pure joy to my husband and I. Hope everyone has a great day!! Enjoy the cooler weather too
Yes, it does go so fast! How nice that you can share in her day today, though! Wait until you see your daughter trying on wedding dresses for the first time. I was a puddle! Enjoy!
I have princess clings from last year I will use. The kids are bringing lots of disney toys so I'm sure they will end up on the ledge. I'll probably print a lime green Mickey head to put up as well. Lights are a good idea I'll have to remember to pack some.
We homeschool too.
We are at Pop Nov 26 - Dec 6th. Its our third stay and we can't wait. A dis meet would be nice. I'll have a lgmh too. It will be me, dh, two dd's and baby ds.
DH and I are at POP Nov 28 - Dec 6th. Maybe we'll see you too! I've got some Disney Christmas window clings that I hope I remember to take. Took them one year and never got them on the windows! I'll have a LGMH on my purse and my backpack.
