All I Want For Christmas Is an Okapi, a Dinosaur, a Herd of Elephants and ...

Ah, Nyquil dreams. They are really a trip, aren't they?

Love that you're always looking for something for the girls. Shopping is one of the best things to do at Disney and you always fulfill my desire to shop with your pictures. Thanks for supporting my habit. :lmao:
 
Just saw Jill's post from a few days ago:
:cheer2::cheer2: Congratulations to all of you!!!:cheer2::cheer2:
I will pray and send you positive vibes for an easy pregnancy! How exciting! I can only imagine how thrilled the girls will be once they find out the good news!!:banana:
 
I am late to the party, but I joined at the VERY end of the last one, so I feel like I am doing better this time! :lmao:

Congrats to Jill, John, Brooklyn and Bella!!!! Great news. Our family is two big sisters and a baby brother....boys are SO different! My girls were always so sweet and precious and my boy is ROWDY AND RAMBUNCTIOUS! :rotfl2: I wish you all the best with your new little bundle on the way.

BTW MeMom~ How come none of your name suggestions start with B? :confused3 It seems that may be a little name trend with the others....:thumbsup2
 
I see 2 Hidden MeMoms:
1- In the mirror behind the tree and
2-In the blue Christmas ornament above the Mickey Head Ornament.
 

I never buy the pins, but I really love those park pins, especially the ones of the different lands in the MK. They remind me of the posters in the tunnels that I adore.

I hope you're feeling better soon, and won't have to take the Nyquil much longer!

I fought off buying the pins for a while, but then I decided it was a good way to commemorate favorite attractions, first time rides for Brooklynn, stays/visits to resorts, or just whatever. They are easy to pack, easy to display at home, and not terribly expensive. My pin board makes me smile whenever I see it. :goodvibes

It seems like I may need to get a stronger cough suppressant or just wait it out. The cough is lingering, as is the sniffling. Head is better, ears - one good and one better, ribs still very bruised feeling. Still, I feel better than I did Saturday and Sunday.



I see a Hidden MeMom. I love looking at all your photos and remincing with you. NyQuil does weird things to me too. I can't take it anymore.

I am glad you enjoyed the pictures. I have tons of them yet to come. :)

I think I will lay off the Nyquil tonight. I don't know if it is coincidence or if it is upsetting my stomach. I was feeling a bit queasy today, and I don't want to add that to the mix. :sad2:



These are cool!

Stylish, aren't they?




Yeah!!! Hidden Memom sighting

Your pics are getting me excited for our upcoming trip :banana: We have never stayed at Pop and I am looking forward to something new. I think that Chloe (DD) is going to love it there. I just hope she gets over not riding the monorail everyday and likes the buses.

As always love the shopping pics.

Hope you continue to feel better.

I always hope people will enjoy Pop. Maybe you won't like it as much as we do, and there are many nicer resorts, but it's a good fit for us. I could get very comfortable at AKL or WL, too, and we loved staying at those. I haven't had the chance to have an 'at home' feeling at Beach Club yet, but I hope to someday. :cool2:



I love your merchandise pictures! It feels like I'm in the store. I'm not, for some reason... ?

You mentioning the cat as a crocodile dream made me laugh out loud. Can't even imagine! :rotfl:

As long as you are not in the store, you are not spending money. That's a good thing. ::yes::

Right now my spoiled little cat is curled up right beside me on the bed. I don't think he would like being a crocodile. :laughing:



Always fun shopping with you, Memom. I'm always finding something that I want to buy when i'm there!

I like to look back and be proud of all the things I didn't buy! :woohoo: I used to buy more, but I leanred to be a lot more selective after a while, and I don't bring home as many souvenirs for others any more. When you go so often, you just can't keep that up.



You stumped me on those pictures? I guess one stay at Pop isn't enough.

I can relate to the Nyquil issues. I can't take anything that has a sleep aid in it because it makes me delirious. I took Tylenol PM years ago and woke up in the middle of the night thinking my DH had a whole string of knives hanging over my head. Not realizing that the Tylenol was the culprit, I took it again another night and woke up thinking that I was covered in bugs. It was a very crazy feeling so I don't touch anything like that anymore. I'm so glad to hear that your dreams were a little less stressful than my delusions! Sounds like yours were kind of fun! Ok, maybe the cat turning into a crocodile isn't fun, but having POR be your classroom is definitely awesome!

I think we have some experts here who will easily know them all. I'm guessing Pat and Stephanie, for sure. I figure I'll wait about two days before revealing.

Yeah, my craziness stayed only in my dreams, as far as I know. I suppose I could have been out running the neighborhood without knowing it. We had storms/tornado watches a couple of nights ago, and I was really so out of it that I would have had a hard time making myself move to any safe place.



Memom - those Pop menu pictures couldn't have come at a better time! My friend is going to Pop in April and I'm giving her all my best advice. Since I only stayed one night, I didn't get pictures of everything. Lucky for me, you did! I hope you don't mind, but I copied them to share with her.

You are welcome to use them. I am happy they could help!

Well, I got a trip to Port Orleans Riverside out of it! :banana:

I wish I could buy them more, but just getting down there and paying for the regular stuff pretty much zaps my purse.

Glad you enjoy shopping. I took quite a few merchandise pictures on this trip, so keep that shopping bag handy!



Just saw Jill's post from a few days ago Congratulations to all of you!!!:cheer2:
I will pray and send you positive vibes for an easy pregnancy! How exciting! I can only imagine how thrilled the girls will be once they find out the good news!!

They bought a new carseat that was on sale, so Brooklynn figured it out. When asked about having a baby around the house, Bella was less than thrilled. :laughing: She is very much a cuddler and likes to be held. She will probably be jealous. Jill was not jealous of Trent, but Trent was jealous of Drew.





I am late to the party, but I joined at the VERY end of the last one, so I feel like I am doing better this time! :lmao:

BTW MeMom~ How come none of your name suggestions start with B? :confused3 It seems that may be a little name trend with the others....:thumbsup2

She hasn't mentioned a B name. Brody is cute for a little boy, but I don't know how it would sound on a man. I like Blake and Brett, too. Bella is officially Isabella, but she fits much nicer to the Bella name. Isabella is formal and proper sounding to me, and Bella is just a little sweet pixie girl full of spunk. Jill said she liked Sophia for a girl, and again, I like the more casual version of that - Sophie. Brooklynn picked Bella's name, so maybe Bella will pick this one. ;) I like Pierce and Gunnar and I kind of like Dane. I need to check out more boy names. I just immediately went to girl names. Like I said before, I already had my turn at picking my kids' names, so I don't get to choose, but I'm sure Jill would be kind enough to let me throw some possibilities in the hat.

If I thought my boys would ever give me grandsons, I'd be fine with Jill continuing to have these sweet girls. If this is my last, then sure, it would be nice to have a grandson. That'll be God's decision, and we'll be happy with whichever we are supposed to have. :lovestruc

Very glad to have you chiming in, by the way.



I see 2 Hidden MeMoms:
1- In the mirror behind the tree and
2-In the blue Christmas ornament above the Mickey Head Ornament.

And in the purple one and the two gold ones. It's really picture overkill, isn't it??? :laughing:
 
Been off dealing with the flu and just saw the news!!
Congratulations to your whole family!!!
Memom I hope your feeling better!
 
I'm sorry you're still not felling well.:sick: DH got sick before Christmas and is still fighting a cough.

I just love the shopping pictures. So much to see! I think I'll take lots of shopping pictures this trip and do some scrapbook pages of all the things I didn't buy.

I worked in daycare for years. There were always several names that you didn't want to use once you got to know a kid with the same name. I was pregnant with Michelle when I was working. We had a superstition not to complain about a child or a child's bad habit because yours might be like that child. There were several of us who had babies one after another.

Aww Jill and MeMom...... I am so excited for your family! I think the girls will make great big sisters. Prayers for a safe and happy pregnancy!:)
 
Bella has worn only a very few of Brooklynn's things due to the seasons they were born and the size differences. Having another girl would make it easier for handing down some things, though, and for rooming purposes. In a short time, Brooklynn would have her own room and the littler girls could share.

P.S. I have thought of a boy's name I like. I like Reid or Reed. I think I like it spelled Reid better.

That was the problem with Hollie and Hannah. Since Hollie was Winter and Hannah was Summer. The good thing is I have managed to find a pretty good amount of clothes to use for Hannah. :)

Oooh, I really like that! I have always liked the name Reid..and I love the spelling that way too! ;)
 
And a game for you, if you want to test your Pop knowledge.

Name these three Pop things. (Answers later. I'm not keeping up with answers, and there are no prizes. This is just for your own fun, if you so choose.)


I will say I am not 100% sure of any of these. :laughing: I would think it would be easy for me, but you picked a few hard ones for sure.

So much fun looking at baby names. :goodvibes I am glad Jill feels so good. I was dizzy and queasy for a bit in the beginning and then all was good from then on.
 
You should be more than tired of seeing me now. ;)

IMG_6276.jpg

How creative! You found the perfect way to sneak yourself into your Pop Christmas pix. PS I just LOVE the flower-power classic Mickey ornament!

Um, if you're still coughing in the morning, ice cream is good medicine for scratchy throats. :rolleyes1 Also Jell-O with whipped cream. ;) Feel better. :goodvibes
 
I have been AWOL for a very long time! Since leaving work in Nov I've had less proper Internet time apart from my phone as our laptop is dead! Hope to catch up soon! X
 
Hi MeMom! I just finished my first week of the semester! I love two of my classes, sort of like one of them, and I'm not too sure about the last one. It's another psychology class that my advisor suggested taking to help me decide if I want to major in psych or not. The problem is, it's a REALLY hard class and it doesn't cover any general education requirements, so it'll only help me if I major in psych. It's not that I have a problem taking a hard class, I just hate to risk hurting my GPA for a class that I don't have to take unless I'm a psych major. But I don't really want to switch into a different class after it's started so I think I'll just stick with this one. Taking it is probably the quickest way for me to decide on my major and I need to make up my mind. I'm debating between psych and education. I probably won't graduate on time if I pick education. It's usually more than a 4 year program even if you start your first semester. But it's really not that big of a deal if I don't graduate on time especially since I'd have to do a few years of grad school before I could do anything with a psych degree anyway.

I was making a list of due dates and test dates yesterday, and the two weeks before my Disney trip are gonna be awful. I have two papers, a psych test, and three midterms between Feb 22 and March 6 :faint: This is why I get my trip planning done early :laughing: I always seem to get REALLY busy right before a trip. Luckily I don't have anything due after the trip until March 27.

I saw a lot of Hidden MeMoms in that post ;)

I didn't have the flu, I don't guess, but this little 24 hour cold ended up lasting a week. :upsidedow

Working around children will shorten your potential baby name list rather quickly! :laughing:

Oh my, about that long cough going on at your house! I hope this one doesn't last weeks!



Aww Jill and MeMom...... I am so excited for your family! I think the girls will make great big sisters. Prayers for a safe and happy pregnancy!

Thanks, and we will hope for the same for you as time goes on. I know that it is your daily prayers, and we will keep tossing those quarters for as long as it takes. ;) Children certainly are special treasures.

Jill has had good luck at a consignment sale she goes to twice a year. She says it would be helpful to have another girl with all the things she already has, of course.

Maybe some of my names will make it into the hat. We'll see. I really don't think there has been much discussion at all of any kind of names boy or girl yet.

I was sick with Jill and not so much with Trent. Drew was my easiest delivery - on a plane. But, he was also the most lengthy wait and the most expensive! :laughing:

I will reveal the answers to the Pop objects momentarily.



The NyQuil always made me feel loopy and jittery. Sometimes I did get very dizzy from it.

At least I know I can take a cheap trip to Disney World in my dreams with a little green pill. :laughing:

Ice cream does feel good.

You know what does not feel good?
An orange.

I peeled on and began to eat it tonight.
Then I did this - :eek:




I have been AWOL for a very long time! Since leaving work in Nov I've had less proper Internet time apart from my phone as our laptop is dead! Hope to catch up soon! X

Sorry your laptop isn't working. We are an addicted society. ::yes:: Glad you could check in. I enjoy seeing your FB pictures of your little ones. :love:



Lots of Pop pictures and hidden MeMoms - great update!!

I'll get more Pop pictures up either tomorrow night or Saturday morning. I think I'll stop on the MeMom pictures now. :upsidedow

College girls are busy people! ::yes:: I'm glad you like most of your classes. You'll always have a few that will be the ones you look for excuses to skip. ;)

You will be so very busy that your trip will sneak up on you!

There will be more guessing games in parks and other resorts as we go along, for those who have no knowledge of Pop Century.

1 out of 3. :sad2: I guess I am glad I got that one. The last one I had the right section but not the right object.

Never noticed the sign at the entrance. I guess I am always rushing in or rushing out. :lmao:

I'll definitely be busy this semester! If I don't miss too many classes between now and our trip I may be very tempted to skip class the day before we leave :rolleyes1 I'll need that whole day to pack right? ;)

This last week has already flown by! It feels like yesterday I was at the 7 week mark, and tomorrow I'm at 6 weeks!

Are you talking about the Have a Magical Day sign? You've been going under that time and time again and never knowing you were wished a magical day? :sad2: I'm betting you had a few anyway. :wizard:

Ya dun gud on the guessin'. :thumbsup2

Yes, you will need a packing day. :goodvibes

6 weeks sounds much better than our 21. :) I can't complain about January, though. This year, it has not been bad weatherwise, and it is almost over. If February is as kind, it will be nice.
 
Sigh, I miss POP. I love all your pictures of the Jukebox building. That is the building we were in but we were on the 3rd floor.
