I will be experiencing the Disney World 28 weeks pregnant in the heat of the summer.

Brooklynn and Bella will be big sisters in September!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!! I'm so excited for you guys! :cool1:

You are one brave woman, both for braving Disney pregnant in the summer and for having a third child! :lmao: I'm totally kidding. The more the merrier. Although I'm happy with managing one but more power to you for being so brave. :worship:

So the questions begin.....

Do you know when you're due? How long have you known? Seth was due on 9/20 (although he came early on 9/4) and I found out I was preggo on January 9th, but I found out really early since we were trying. So I'm assuming you just found out pretty recently. Did you know while you were at Disney, or were you even preggo then? I may be being too nosey!

Do you want a girl or a boy? I'd guess a boy but who knows....you might want to out-number John by 4!!! :rotfl:

Hope you're feeling well. :goodvibes
 

Lana and Caren, I did some research on the video and found that Matt had made a few changes to it.
Here's the new edited version.

If you have a few minutes please take a look, the two littlest ones are my grands Harper and Hunter. The other cute kids are cousins on the other side of the family.
We went with all of my kids & significant others and my son in law's sister, her three children and their mom.
So it was a group of 15!
 
Yep. It's me. I told Mom people were gonna think I am the one that posted on my facebook while we were on the trip. I can assure you all I was not "making a Disney baby" with my girls in the room with me and my mom in a connecting room.

:lmao: I knew that wasn't you! And even if you were making a Disney baby you'd never, ever tell everyone on Facebook! :rotfl2:
 
/
I can't remember if I have came by here or not yet, but I am here now!! :goodvibes
 
Congrats to Jill, John, MeMom, Brooklynn & Bella! New life is such a wonderful blessing! I'll be saying prayers for a healthy baby and easy pregnancy.

Christmas Day at the Magic Kingdom is just perfect. I'm glad you made it there. I've never been there for Christmas but we did go for New Year's Eve. Back when we went they didn't have those beautiful lights. Thank you so much for giving us the play by play. I felt like I was there. You picture of the lights and the reflection is just gorgeous!

I'm so glad you got to meet up with Anita and crew. I just loved the video. We went with a group of 15 family members once. It was fun!

I hope you're feeling better MeMom and if you're not I hope you do soon.
 
Congratulations!!

I'm also excited because we will be at Disney the same time this summer. Hopefully we can spend a little more time together. Maybe you guys can get that tour of Old Key West...with the family growing, you need to look into those bigger rooms.;)
 
Congrats to Jill and family. Prayers are with you for an easy pregnancy. You are a brave soul to do Disney pregnant with 2 little ones in the summer heat.
 
Hope everyone in the line of the storms stay safe tonight! I'm nervous and don't want to go to sleep:(
 
Congrats Jill and all! What exciting news. I went when I was pregnant with Luke and was about that far along too (he was born Aug 27 and we went the first week of June). It was honestly a great trip. The girls were so fun and perfect ages and while I drank a ton of water and went to the bathroom a ton, we had fun!
 
Congratulations Jill, MeMom, John, Brooklynn, and Bella!!! That's such exciting news! I wasn't on the DIS yet when Bella was born so I'm looking forward to "meeting" him/her on the DIS :)

I was somewhat grumpy when I came on here but that news cheered me up! The grumpiness is because I have to go back to school tomorrow :rotfl:

I hope you feel better soon MeMom! Being sick is awful. I've had a headache for the past few hours but I think that's just back to school stress. I'm ridiculously paranoid and I'm convinced that I won't be able to get my car out of the driveway in the morning because of the snow, which makes no sense because I drove it today without a problem and it's supposed to rain tomorrow, not snow. I need to calm down :rotfl: But last year after my car sat in the driveway during a snowy weekend, it wouldn't move. The tires were literally frozen to the driveway for a week :eek:

As for the Nyquil dreams...I get REALLY strange dreams when I'm sick, without the Nyquil! I'll only take Nyquil when I know I don't have to go anywhere in the morning. It completely knocks me out and I have enough trouble waking myself up with my alarm on a normal day.
 
I'm glad you were able to find your license....I can imagine the panic. Jill to the rescue. :thumbsup2

Ahhh....love the arrival pics.
I can put myself right back at POP in the lobby seeing the tree for the first time.
With the holiday music in the background, it was awesome.

I don't blame Bella for wanting to get into Everything POP cause that was my first stop too. First purchases were 2012 tees and ears for NYE. :laughing:

Our next stop was food, so we passed by those gingerbread houses. I enjoyed them all too. Lexi liked the Jack marshmallow.

First meal was Chicken Penne....yummy perfection!

We were lucky enough to have Gem check us in too! Our room was ready and in a perfect spot. Ground floor, building 4 Play Doh, third room down on the first wing. We couldn't have asked for better.
Very short walk to the hall, bus and right around the corner from the pool. :woohoo:
And yes Lexi did swim...it was lovely the first few days and even when it was freezing and the life guards were in full track suits complete with hats...she swam too. :lmao:
Bus driver made jokes that he could tell who the Canadians were by how we dressed. :)
In all the times we have been to POP we have never gotten a room in the 50's. You are very lucky.

We had lounge chairs while we waited on NYE...wish I knew you could move them up by the room. Oh well, we made someone happy when we gave them up.
I had no idea Poolrat & Wig'd were right behind us that whole time on the beach.

I was there too!!!!!:thumbsup2

I have to say that I have never seen anything more stunning than the castle all lit up and twinkling. Amazing!
Lexi was in awe of how you barely see them during the day but at night...WOW!
I was teary seeing it for the first time.
Later, when I saw "Memories and You" I actually got all misty. Loved it!

Have a great day all! We are on day two of freezing rain & snow. Doesn't make for an easy drive to work.

Brooklynn is growing up so fast...cute pic at bag check. :goodvibes

I hope they have plenty of shows with whatever they open back up. I really enjoyed the shows Opryland had. I figure with Dolly in the mix, they will. I think all of the kids up to their 20's will love any of the rides, since we have had nothing like this during their generation.


Cool!!! Sounds like fun! I've only been to Nashville twice, but I never went to Opryland.


Thanks. My head feels better right this minute and only one ear hurts, but I can add gunky eyes to the list now. :upsidedow


Sorry you aren't feeling good. I can totally relate! I started sneezing on the way home from Disney (1/1) and am still not 100%! UGH!!!I've had coughing fits as well! I don't think my cough is ever going to go away!!! I am better. I'm not coughing as much, but now my throat has been hurting some. I hope you are in the upswing!!!


Cruddy is a good word for it.
At least one symptom is gone for the moment. My headache has subsided for now. I've been sucking down Advil, antihistamine, and Nyquil

I don't know if I 'caught' a cold or if it is some kind of sinus issue. If my throat gets worse, I guess I will go get a strep test on Monday, but hopefully it wil be better by then.


I have been fortunate not to get sick very often. Maybe twice a year I have a spell where I lose my voice. I don't necessarily feel bad, but my voice goes raspy. I think that might be more allergy related than anything. This feels like an old-fashioned cold with lots of symptoms. I can't stop coughing, and that is making me choke and making my ribs hurt.

I will get to the next batch of pictures in a little while. I am going to go fix some Cream of Wheat for breakfast. I barely ate anything yesterday, so I am feeling a bit hungry. I probably need to keep this cold long enough to help me shed off about 60 pounds. :rolleyes1

Not happening so much today. Hopefully tomorrow. :thumbsup2






Disney on Ice will be a lot of fun. Maybe Harper can choose one favorite outfit for the day. I'm guessing there will be enough football, basketball, baseball, or something on TV to occupy Baylor while he's not at Disney on Ice.


Have fun!!!


I turned my shower into a temporary sauna - just stood there with hot water pouring down to try to open up my head. It felt so good! I've been sleeping in between my coughing and snorting.

Christmas will be so much fun for you! Having the time after the trip will be nice. I wish it had worked out for us to do it that way. I got my relaxing time before the trip, but if I could have had it exactly how I wanted, I would have reversed that.






It's been a crummy couple of days, but it reminds me to appreciate the good ones. ;)





Coughing my head off right now. It's annoying. :sad2:
At least I don't have to be around anyone right now and annoy them, too.


It is totally annoying!!! Feel better soon!




I guess it depends on the difference in pay and benefits vs. the extra effort/paperwork/headaches of full-time teaching. Subbing sounds good to me right now, if I had that option. Your district is probably a lot different than mine, though.

Some big news for the summer trip. MeMom is booking our rooms tomorrow. She is booking John, Bella, and I from Saturday, June 23rd until Sunday, July 1st. She and Brooklynn will be booked Saturday, June 23rd until July 5th. Since they both have no commitments at home they can stay longer than us and meet up with all the Disers on the 4th. I'm a little jealous that I will be missing the fireworks, but I have to come back to the real world and work to pay for our October Disney trip.

This summer I get to accomplish two firsts:

1. We are eating breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table which the girls are super excited about.

and number 2...












I will be experiencing the Disney World 28 weeks pregnant in the heat of the summer.

Brooklynn and Bella will be big sisters in September!!!!!!!!

This is still under wraps so if you are friends with me on facebook please don't mention it on there yet.



CONGRATS!!!!!!! HOPE YOU HAVE AN EASY PREGNANCY!!!!! :banana::banana::banana:


I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am for your family! I'm feeling a little teary at the moment! I just want to hug you all!!!!!!

Awwww!!!
 
:grouphug: CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!! :grouphug:

I am just thrilled to bits for you Jill & John! What a blessing!

Wow, when I met you...you were already expecting...so cool!

Sending wishes for a healthy baby boy or girl.

I hope you have a comfortable pregnancy too.

This baby is so lucky....he or she is going to be born into such a loving family.
I can imagine everyone is super excited.

I bet there will have to be lots of pool breaks so you can cool down...and plenty of pampering too while on the summer trip!

I'm glad you shared your news!

Memom you got your wish for another grandbaby!!! :hug:
Did you secretly throw a few quarters into the fountain when you and Brooklynn went on your Oct. trip.... ;) .... I won't tell if you did. :rotfl:

Thanks Wig'd for sharing the video!
Your grandchildren are so adorable!
I love Harper's little dance. She has the sweetest smile.
Hunter is growing so fast....he is a cutie.
I saw an engagement! What an awesome moment to capture on video!
She must have been glowing the whole trip afterwards. Congrats to them!
Mark did an excellent job putting that video together.
I enjoyed watching your family have fun...ahhh Disney World is the best place on earth isn't it.
Loved everyone trying on the many hats. :goodvibes
 
Hi uncw89 :wave2:

You were there too! :hug:

I'm sorry I wasn't myself that night. All of you didn't catch me on one of my finer days. :laughing:

I am glad I came out but wish I was in better spirits to hang out with you all.

Hopefully when we have our HUGE meet for the 50th anniversary I can redeem myself.
 
Memom you got your wish for another grandbaby!!! :hug:

First things first, and then I'll do other responses later.....
