Jill - I hope that Autumn is doing better. for you all.

 

[becka]

OK I am really starting to freak out and I am hoping my mind is just playing tricks with me. I have not been feeling like myself for the past few days and I tried to just ignore it but the last 24 hours it has been hard to ignore. I have only felt this way two other times in my life and I bet you can guess the results from my signature. I am very, very, very scared. We have been so careful and if I am expecting again it will be a very hard blow for me/us right now. Unfortunately it is far too early for me to test and probably will be at least a week before I can with any accuracy. With DD I felt this way and it was almost 2 weeks before I got a positive result - I probably had 5 negatives before then. DH is trying to stay positive and tell me we have nothing to worry about yet but I can see he is worried as well.

I was just starting to get exicted about a late November trip to WDW and needless to say if I am expecting that will put that trip off for a very long time. Along with any other cruises as well..... I know that is the least of my worries but it is a bit of a downer at the same time. I know I am just being selfish and I know that so many others would love to be pregant but I would really love for this to turn out to be a false alarm. How terrible and selfish of me is that?

Becka, Sometimes what seems like the worst turns out to be a real blessing. When I found I was pregnant with our third, I was . Dennis was in his third year of pharmacy school, I was working full time to pay the tuition (he worked full time to pay the bills) and we were struggling to juggle all of that with 2 little girls. Dennis got so stressed that he wound up in the hospital and had to sit out one semester. It took him an extra year of college, but we managed and our son turned out to be a huge blessing for us - and we got
Aaron years later as a bonus! You will work it out, whatever the outcome of the test.

Kim, it has been around 74 here the past few days. The rain is moving in this afternoon & it is getting a bit chilly. Of course that is with short sleeved shirts and sandals on. I might get to wear my sweaters soon!!!

You should have seen her hot rodding around the circles this afternoon. She is now on her 12" princess bike riding like there is no tomorrow. She starts off in the middle of the street & everything. I haven't had to hold the bike seat once. Can't believe it!!! She takes off down the street and yells out "California here I come!"

 

[lbgraves]

Carla - are you getting worried about the murder rate in New Orleans?

It looks like we will be going to San Diego - I think it is in May for some meeting. Giona wants to go to Legoland. We have never been to Disneyland either - it would be fun to do both.

NO has always had a high murder count.

((((((HUGS))))))) I just took a test myself on Friday. You could go get a blood test done quickly that will tell you the result so that you don't stress about this for another week. I completely understand what you are feeling. (((HUGS)))

So, Kim...Kaitlyn wants to know if Savannah will be going to Epcot with her too before the cruise. ?????

 

[elaineteresa]

NO has always had a high murder count.

yes I know and it is sad for such a small city. Not what they need right now in this recovery period when conferences are starting to book into the city.
There is a big health care meeting there that Carla and Ken will be attending - I know this is the type of thing that scares conference goers.

 

[Jhalkias]

Lisa, Steve's first ipod had to be repaired 3 times the first year, we kept sending it back and sending it back, so I would be wary of refurbished.

Well . . . my first iPod was a refurb and it lasted two years. Maybe just lucky.

[Jhalkias]

Marielle,
John and Amy, we could so use some Sophia help on Soarin! I think Savannah would love it!!!

I feel like I am doing a core dump today. Sorry I missed chat!

Kim,

Sophia will definitely help with Savannah and/or Kaitlyn and William on Soarin'. She loves it!

You did not miss chat as far as I could see . . . I went to chat, and only one room was there, and only Joy and Lisa were there. I stuck until they left, and then I was asta-la-vista!

[Jhalkias]

Well, DH doesn't want to spend 14 days on the ship, so if the Magic is headed to the West Coast next summer, then we will have to skip the repo but we would definitely want to try the 7 day Mexico cruise out of LA... It's only a 5 1/2 hour drive for us. But then we probably wouldn't go to WDW that year... oy, I need to rent out some of my DVC points!

Joy,

I really like your new signature pics.

14 days on the ship . . . no problem!

If it had been before the storm I would be happy to recommend things for you to see. I loved to take the ferry across the river and spend the day in the city!!! Be sure to try the po boy sandwiches. I always got half shrimp & half catfish. The Cafe du Monde has the best beignets...great with hot chocolate. If you like coffee, they have a special blend.

Where are you staying, Carla?

 

[Jhalkias]

Update on the hotel situation in May: The American Urological Association is having there annual meeting the 19th - 24th with 17,000 participants. That is probably why some of the hotels are booked. They have a run on the 19th, and thier opening reception is Sunday night at DCL.

Hooo Boy!

That sounds like a fun group to be around!

Is the reception financed by Levitra?

(I'm joking, but probably right)

Done 14 days and it is great. Now I want to do 21 days sometime!

Still have too much to do to stay on the board but I hope to be back in a day or so. Blessings.

 

[waltsgirl]

Ok where does the July mini Meet in NC happen, I want to see it would be viable to drive, and maybe meet up. Please PM auntie PJ

Pj

Oh my that would be "too cool"!!!!

 

[waltsgirl]

OK, my bad.

Amy says she was talking about the Mexican boat ride.

That darn thing does need refurbed.

I hope they replace some of the films.

I am tired of the same old people in the hot tub in Cancun, the same people waterskiing, and those lame people that follow you that do not even come close to the hassles when they try to sell you stuff at Coz.

John1

I didn't say you liked the ride, I said Sophia loved it!! Looks like it will be down when we are there in March.

 

[pjpoohbear]

I didn't say you liked the ride, I said Sophia loved it!! Looks like it will be down when we are there in March.

You tell him, Amy!

Pj

Luvs Ya John.

 

[lbgraves]

OY BOY!!! Watching the news and they just had a bit on the Tigger incident. DD was too busy playing with her Cars stuff but DS was watching intently. He hasn't said anything but I am wondering what he understood.

I'm not really thinking about it at the moment. I'm staying at one of the hotels by the conference center. I suppose I should know the name shouldn't I. I haven't been there in years and years. I remember it was the most fantastic food place I ever went though. We went to K Pauls. I loved Cafe du Monde's beignets - that's what made me stay at WDW's Port Orleans - yum. I have not had those - oh man what are they called - fried little dunkin munchin donut things - they aren't donuts though - anyway I have never had a good one since New Orleans. Just remembered HUSH PUPPIES! Those things were yummy.

The thing about some of these conferences is people go out and drink and drink and drink and drink. No conversation or fun. No dancing or site seeing (other than the "clubs" on Bourbon Street). That's not my scene. First of all its boring and at the end of the day I am exhausted between trying to make sure they are getting home ok and not driving. Oy! Fortunately my boss and company isn't about that so I get to duck out on some events going in that direction.

Oh funny story - years ago when I went down Bourbon St for the first time I walked the whole thing with my mouth hanging wide open. Boy was I naive. Some guy came out of this club as we were all walking by and asked my friend (blond gorgeous) if she wanted to come have a drink. She said thanks no thanks. She would have been enslaved and shipped off to parts unknown. We still laugh about it.

I guess I need to go check google.
