2 Poohs & a Piglet: Taking on the World from a Fluffy Point of View: TR starts PG 7

What a beautiful adoption story. It had me in tears. Thank God everything has turned out the way it should. Your daughter is so beautiful!!! She looks like such a happy and healthy little girl. What a joy she must be. Though I have to say I am biased since both of my girls are adopted and they are the light of my and dh's life.

I can't wait to hear about all the wonderful things you do on your celebratory trip. Disney is a totally different experience with kids. I actually liked it more with my girls. The magic is so much more real through their eyes.

Congratulations again! I am on cloud nine for you!

Thanks! I'm so excited it's almost here

Congrats on your adoption!!! Boo is so cute!! Glad that she was able to stay with her real family.
Looking forward to your trip report. Going in Dec for the first time as an adult. Both DH and I are Pooh sized and curious to see which rides we can sit together.
Have a great trip!!

Congrats on the adoption...your princess is "Bootiful" , and I love it when the good guys win!

As someone who has taken kidlets to WDW lots of times, my recommendation is a stroller with an adjustable reclining seat and a canopy. We're big believers in Pedialyte for toddler dehydration, too. They have the powder sticks (like Crystal Lite) that are very convenient.

I'm loving your report, and I'm doing the single digit dance in your honor!

WOO HOO!! Gotta love those single digits!!!

I just realized....9 days until we find out what baby is! Oh my goodness!

My darn phone! I keep missing people's post

YAAAAY! I'm so excited for you!! Which do you two think it is? or ??

Yeah for single digits. We just broke the 1 month mark. You must really be getting excited.

Thanks!

You will be able to ride alot together. Rudy and I have always been able to ride most everything together without a problem. In fact, I can't really think of anything we weren't able to. Well, the Fantasyland rides you would probably have to do one at a time...I'll find out in a few days and let you know

Doing the single digit dance with you!

We're down to eleven days but who's counting.

Hi there! Subbing!

I love the ideas behind both your PTR and your reasons for going. Your adoption story melted my heart and I am so happy that things turned out for the best and you and your husband are now happy with child!

I will also be watching on what you have to say about being Pooh sized! I am pooh sized myself and worried about some of the things you have mentioned. Can't wait to read more!

One week!!!

Okay so lemme see if I can do a mini update for you. Sorry I've been so behind it's been a crazy few weeks, some good, some bad. Mostly good

But Rudy's aunt died on Friday very unexpectantly so we've been busy with family stuff. Our anniversary was Sunday but that's when the rosary was so we didn't celebrate then. Hopefully we will get to some time this week.

Thank you all sooo much for the congrats on the adoption! We're still on it just doesn't seem real yet. We've lived in so much drama and uncertainty in the past 15 mos that we seem lost now that things are back to normal

Now on to the trip news! Couple things have changed. We ended up renting a car through Priceline. We've always used Disney transportation so we're a little worried how we will do driving but decided it would be much easier with the baby. With me being a Pooh my main concern at this point is omg does this mean MORE walking??? Anybody know? How horrible is getting back to the car? I'm used to just walking to the bus stops and sometimes that can be a killer!

About the walking, I have been trying to walk in the evenings but umm that changed when I came across a 5 foot snake So no more evening walks for me! Thinking about whipping out my Walk Away The Pounds DVD in a bit though. Need to just get off my butt and do it.

So with the addition of the rental car this now has me rethinking the preferred room. When I looked at the POP map it appears that the non-preferred rooms are closer to parking lots. I'm really debating calling and trying to downgrade. I mean why pay the extra money if it will only be an inconvenience?

And my final bit of trip news is that Disney contacted me. I'm not sure what they wanted, unfortunately I wasn't able to speak with them. But I've never had them contact me right before a trip. Hopefully everything is cool....is this a new thing? Hoping they call today and I will be sure to answer.

I will try to come on later and respond to some more of ya'lls incredibly sweet posts.

Hope everyone has a very blessed day!!!

I thank God for our judge I really do! He's awesome! I told Rudy I will work hard for him on his campaigns forever. He truly cared about the case and even cried at our adoption.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Perhaps they were offering you a room upgrade?

The only place I HATE parking at is Magic Kingdom because you have to part at the Ticket & Transportation Center and then monorail or boat over to MK. Everywhere else you can take the tram to where the bus drops you off so it really isn't bad at all. I love having a car.

So sorry about Rudy's aunt.

Thanks! She is pretty darn cute, huh? Sigh. I think she looks like me LOL

Thank you for the recommendation. I'm renting from Orlando Stroller so hoping my stroller does all of that. I think it does! Also, what a wonderful idea on the Pedialyte! I had no clue they made to go packs! I grabbed some last night at CVS after you told me.

Joining in a little late. My husband and I are also Pooh sized and worry every once in awhile about fitting on rides together. We haven't had any issues yet, but we have tried Dumbo or the flying carpets...wondering if that woudl be an issue.

Your adoption story has brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing it.
