5/17/03 Eastern Cruise.. Who is going?

[BunnyMom]

Okay, two weeks from right now, we will be winging to Florida! The anticipation is almost too much to bear!!! We're getting the suitcases tonight (borrowing from very generous friends). Tomorrow I can start throwing things in, probably taking things out too!! I think we'll be packing much lighter this time. Ahh, experience!!!!

I dug out the lanyards, and I've got my lime green Mickey's. (I wonder if Home Depot knows what's going on?)

I've even lost 3 more pounds!!!! Who has time to eat with all this planning!!!!!

Okay, off to work. Not that I'll get much done. I just hope I don't get caught on the DISboards. I need a job to pay for the next one!!

[I Luv Disney Cruise]

I went to the doctors yesterday and had another ultrasound. The serving twin is doing great! Two weeks ago it measure 13mm and yesterday it measured 34mm and the heart is beating 170 beats per minute. I was able to take a VHS tape in and record the ultrasound and boy was I glad I did. That baby was moving up a storm. The arms and legs were kicking around a lot. It moved it's head too. My husband says we have a boxer in there. ;-) It is amazing how much the baby has formed.

The only bad or shall I say something to be cautious about is the other twin. It hasn't shrunk any and actually the gestational sac and amniotic fluid has grown at the same rate as the other baby. So, they are ordering a Level 2 Ultrasound (more detailed ultrasound done by some doctors in Tampa) to get a better look at what is going on. My doctor says he is looking at two options, one is let nature take its course or the other option is to aspirate (through a big needle) the fluid out of the sac of the twin that didn't make it. He is afraid that the twin that didn't make it could possibly cause problems with the surviving one. This is why he wanted to get another opinion from a doctor that has the capabilities to do Level 2 Ultrasounds.

Anyway, we are very excited about the baby that has survived! It is so touching to watch the baby on the video tape moving around. Of course, I cried! ;-)

Only 14 days till we leave for Port!

 

[BunnyMom]

Glad to hear that baby is well and growing!!! Did somebody say Godparents???????? Heck yeah!!!!!! We would love to be Godparents to your little Mickey or Minnie!!!!!

Good luck with the future tests, I'm sure all will work out fine. Modern medicine is performing downright miracles everyday.

Hi everybody,
I will also be on the cruise with my husband, my 3 year old son, and my 8 month old daughter. This is our first cruise and we are very excited. I already started packing and probally have too much. Hope to meet you all. This site has been a lifesaver. I just found the site 3 weeks ago and it has helped with all my questions. Thanks for everything and see you on board.

 

[BunnyMom]

Welcome to sfeinauer, jdmcshe and DWEBBNY!!! Our group is really growing now!!! We shall be blinded by lime green at the deck 10 sail away!!!

Remember your sunglasses everyone!!!!

I just realized that I planned all my clothes for the cruise but don't have anything to wear the day we board!!!!
I wanna look good for that first picture! Gee, I guess I'll have to go shopping.

Okay, back to work!! (yeah right!!)

ILDC so glad to hear that everything is ok with your little one.

BunnyMom 3 lbs. congratulations. went to ww Wed. for monthly weigh in, and was up 1/2 lb. I am trying to be good for the next couple of weeks.....

Have put out my clothes across a spare bed today. God, do I really need all of it? I still keep thinking of things that I need.

Concerning work, the good thing about doing taxes for a living is that now I reap the benefits. I only have 1 more day to work, Monday next week. Then 8 weeks off. Then back to 1 or 2 days for the rest of the summer. Come fall it gets busy again teaching the classes for employees. But vacation would have come and gone by then.

I need another vacation booked soon so that I will still have something to look forward to when I get home. Maybe book again on board?

Welcome to the new cruisers who will be joining us. We will all have to make sure that we get together.

Welcome to our new friends. Two weeks from right now we'll be packing the car!

I'm thinking of wearing my lime green top for boarding. But I'm afraid the lime green Mickey will get lost. Will have to see what they look like together. Decisions, decisions.

I can't wait for that Sailaway Party - Deck 10, Starboad side. Might be a good place for a meet?

Squiggle: sounds good for the sailaway party!!

[granna]

Reading about all of you with 4 yr. olds. Will they be doing the Oceaneers? My 3 1/2 yr. old grandson, Preston, is the only one of that age in our party and doesn't think he wants to go. Maybe we could meet up and he will go with his new friends. I will try to get his family to the Sail Away meeting.

[UKANGEL]

going to do all my packing tomorrow

Only have 1 and a half days left at work next week before the wedding next Saturday

Deck 10, starboard it is!

 

[donnabres]

Have put off packing, mainly because I don't feel like ironing. Afraid too that if I actually pack too early, everything will be more wrinkled. I have pretty much laid everything out. I know that I should probably put 1/2 back into the closet, but what if I need it?
Trying to get a couple of outfits for dinner that I can interchange tops with to make them look diffrent.
Just think, many of us will be at the Raddison by now in 2 weeks.
Are we having a meet at the sailaway party? Can't wait to meet all of you!!!
Rain coming back here tomorrow.

[BunnyMom]

It's tooo much!!!!! I was not this excited last year on my FIRST cruise!! (What ya don't know, can't hurt ya!!!!))) LOL

I shopped some more!!! I have another dress for dining, and YES, I now have a "fly to Florida" outfit, plus an extra outfit all for under $40.00. Woohoo!!!!!!!!!! I love a bargain!!!!

UKAngel, best wishes!!!! Can't wait to meet the "blushing" bride and groom. Don't forget to get a picture with Mickey and Minnie on formal night!!! They're adorable! and I'm sure you and the new "hubby" will be too!!!!!

Granna, don't worry about Preston!!! Once he sees the Oceaneer's place, he'll be hooked!!! I'm sure, less than an hour with "familiars" and he'll take off running with the couselors and his new friends.

Squiggle??? Which side is starboard??? (a true landlubber here, need help)

I got a nice blue shirt for the port. The lime green Mickey will stand out for sure!!!!

Baseball season starts in the morning. Ian is pitching, wish us luck. Go Yankees!!!!!!

Sweet dreams. (If you can sleep, that is) hee hee, I can't wait!!!

Bunnymom, from one landlubber to another. Just checked my passporter and starboard is the right side of the ship looking toward the front.
We'll be there too!!!!!! Can't wait. Good luck at the baseball game today.
I'm off to volunteer for the sign up of the city's park and recreation depts. summer camp. By volunteering, I am guaranteed to get my grandkids into the weeks they want to go. It fills up so quickly and because of budget cuts this year they are only taking about 2/3 of the kids they took last year. Sure we'll have some unhappy parents.
Have a great day all, and think, the Magic will only be leaving Port Canaveral 2 more times without us!!!

The sleepless nights have started! It seems whenever I lay down to go to bed, my mind starts racing with all the things I need to do, pack, buy. Crazy, crazy, crazy. I was thinking everyone was packing so soon, but then I realized I only have this weekend and next weekend. Holy smokes! So, I'm going to try and pack my kids this weekend and my DH and I next weekend. I still feel there are things left to buy. Sort of like at Christmas, you never feel like you have it all done!!

See you all soon! Have we set a time for the meet?

 

[Axeman]

Does anyone know about free excursion tickets for Caribbean Duck Tours in St. Maarten?

 

[b&bdiscruisers]

Now I know my husband is getting really excited about this cruise! He noticed that I had a few clothes laying on guest room bed so he decided that this AM he needed to go through his clothes and lay out things on the bed also and take some to the laundry/dry cleaners!! All this with 2 weeks to go!!! Believe me, he's not normally like this--so much ahead of the game! Usually I have to keep reminding him that the time is getting closer & he usually replys with that he never takes him long to pack! He's now out running errands & looking for the mesh shower caddy that was mentioned on the "best tip idea" thread. Looked all through the mall last night with no luck. Any suggestions? Right now I've got to get busy & hem my pregnant daughter's new maternity pants & start getting all the cruise things I've been buying organized--it's a mess around here! Just think--2 weeks from now we'll be at the terminal waiting in line to get on that BEAUTIFUL SHIP!!! !!
