Uh oh - looks like we might miss you this year. We'll be at BC July 15-30. Sounds like you might be doing some important "helping out" this summer.
When I had my first four they didn't do routine ultrasounds so I didn't know if it was a boy or a girl until they were born. I knew the last three. It definitely made it easier to know but I think not finding out until I had the baby was a lot more exciting!!!!
Teena - quick question - there's a new thread that is all about how computers are going to do the room assigning instead of cms. Do you think we'll still be able to make room requests? I booked a gv cl room and was definitely hoping to make a request!
Sounds like you had a wonderful cruise. Did you just find out the "news" when you got back or was it a Christmas present? Think of all the fun you'll have introducing your grandchild to Disney!!!!!
No worries. The new system we have does assign rooms automatically but the room assignors still look at requests and move things around. Nothing much has changed at the Y&B. Will you always get your requests? No, .. remember the year you booked a deluxe room and requested a full balcony and you didn't get it? It ended up okay because you liked the first floor patio. Just like in the past, we try our darnest to get people what they want. Personally I recommend not to do an on-line check-in and to go to the regular front desk and ask right then and there if your room has "....whatever you requested ...." and if it doesn't, then ask if it's possible to get a room that has what you want. If one isn't available that day that meets your requests, ask if one is available the following day (if you are agreeable to a room change). Some people do not like room changes but some don't mind.
No, we found out when we got back from the cruise. Jeanne had left a message that when we got home to open a package that was waiting for us ... make sure we open it together and then call her. So we opened it after we got the luggage in. In it was a tiny little pair of beach sandals (which totally confused us both) and then under them was a sonogram. I just about fainted. Bob didn't know what the sonogram was and was totally confused. I could barely speak. So shocked. It definitely was not planned but she's 30 in May and wants a child really bad, with or without a husband, and she has been having lots of woman medical problems. My mom and I both had uterus cancer in our 30's too. She's really happy and I've always wanted to be a real grandmother. As much as I love those kids she teaches and they all call me "Grandma", I really want one to call me "Nanny" (what Jeanne always called my Mother).
