Following along! I just saw the link for this in your signature. Arthur is absolutely adorable by the way. You guys will be here so soon. Maybe I'll run into you while you're here!
Absolutely!We'd love to meet up if you're free!
Crash away! I can't wait to get down there. I'm on bed rest and still in pain from some complications post-delivery and I think being in the Happiest Place on Earth will make me feel a lot better about all of it... Even if we are even slower than anticipated with a 7 week old baby and a slightly crippled mommy!Yay! I'm sure I will be. I'm usually off after 4:30 most days. As it gets closer, we can figure out a time to meet up. I don't want to just crash your vacations/Alli's honeymoon haha.
Why would we choose to take a 2 month old baby to WDW for our anniversary? Well because I'm a Disney freak but also because my twin sister @Disney_Alli is getting married!
We are flying in on Saturday, August 8th on a direct flight from Calgary (only one takeoff and landing with an infant... I'm trying to do this as smart as I can!) where we will be joined by my parents on the flight as they are connecting through Calgary from Kelowna (yay extra hands for baby... See I am trying to be smart)
Also we are not planning on flying 2 weeks worth of diapers and other baby essentials so we will have to make a Walmart or target stop that morning.
Monday the 17th will be DH and I's first park day alone with baby we are planning an Epcot day with lunch at Coral Reef at 1:45 a break and then back to the park for illuminations in the evening.
Here is Arthur Scott
Poor Arthur has developed Baby acne
or class to start.
We waited almost a year for our second cruise but we booked it before we even left on our first one!I'm here!!
Love this picture! Did you not have the best time on the Disney Cruise? We loved it so much after our first one, we booked our second one for 6 months later
Congratulations @Disney_Alli
Always easier with extra people around
That's what we did for our first trip. We actually ordered from Walmart a large box of diapers and 2 cases of water and had it delivered to our resort because we weren't renting a car or anything. Made it so much easier to not have to pack it in our suitcases.
I think by now you'll have the hang of it, though!
Ugh the quote on the wall such a sweet quote! And where did you get that piggy bank?! I've been searching all over for a DIsney one but this one would work too!
Love the name!
This is how DS and DH slept the very first night at home. Because we had no clue what we were doing
DS had that too! I feel like we got everything we DS, including the dry skin in his folds, cradle cap, etc!
Aw you look great! And omgosh, he's so adorable and so big!!!
Okay hope you don't mind me putting in a few tips here
-Utilize the Baby Centers at all parks. They are AMAZING, quiet and comfortable. Don't know if you're nursing or not but they have rockers, in I believe, ever single center along with a couple private rooms. They also have sinks and microwaves to rinse out bottles or to heat up formula.
-If the baby is sleeping in the stroller (which DS was about 90% of the time at 2 months), you're allowed to leave him in the stroller and take him into restaurants without removing him. This helped out so much, because we didn't bring a car seat with us, as I held him on the plane, so I had nothing to 'hold' him in if we went to restaurants. And holding him in my arms the whole time was so not ideal, so the stroller was a huge help! Like having another adult with us, really!
-He went on every single ride with us that did not have a height limit, like all FL rides, boat rides, train rides, etc.
I really don't feel like your schedule is too jammed packed, at least, compared to what we had so it looks like it will be a fun time! My only concern for Arthur would be the heat you're going to experience DS used to (and really, still does!) sweat A LOT as a baby and he was never fully clothed when he slept, but would wake up in the middle of the night crying and his sheet was drenched in sweat! So when we took him in October 2013, I knew it was still going to be warm so I purchased one of those cooling towels that you get wet and stays cool for a long time, and placed it underneath him in the stroller to keep cool
I just did an afternoon at the mall with my sister and mom after Arthur's 3 week check up and I think I over did it a bit but then I've been on bed rest and only been grocery shopping and to Walmart until now!Hi!! I just found your ptr thanks to a friend! I am preggo with baby #2 and planning a trip when she will be about 8 weeks old. So I am very excited to hear how your trip goes. My older dd is 3 and has been to wdw a ton but her first trip wasn't until 8 months.
I wanted to mention that your plans sound really great and totally doable - at least with my dd, by 3 weeks old I was itching to get out and about and we spent a whole day with her at the museum of science in Boston. By 8 weeks she was sleeping 7-5 overnight and I felt totally fine. (I will admit the first 2 weeks I felt horrible). I hope you are feeling well now and can't wait to hear how your plans are going.
Our trip will be 12 nights and is pretty packed with plans but at least from my memories of last time I think it won't be too much.
last Birth and Babies class and I wore pre-pregnancy pants for the first time!
I think having been an insomniac most of my life has helped me deal with the sleep deprivation!Wow you look amazing. And seems like you are doing really well adjusting to new motherhood. I was a little worried when you talked about all your plans for so soon after the baby was born because I personally did not handle being a new mom very well...lol...but you are handling it like a rockstar!!
