wow, what's the deal? i just assumed it was that there isn't much room, so small meals are the order of the day from here on out. but it's more than that?

hey, are they having you take calcium pills with the oj? the citrus helps the body absorb the calcium. would it help you to take tums with the oj? it's probably not the amount of calcium they want you to have, but it might help the heartburn issue, and would help absorb some calcium...

i think any citrus would work, too, so you could maybe try lemonade, limeade, not sure if cranberry juice has the same effect?

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Its just because of the squished tummy.. But I still have 2 babies that have a lot of developing t do. They need way more protien and other vitamins then what I can eat... Plus the protien shakes help them pack on the much needed pounds before they pop out. Its a fairly common thing.

i've never had protein shakes before, so no idea if they taste good or awful. i thought some of them were supposed to be pretty tasty?

heck, would a regular ol' milkshake do the trick? sign me up!!!

No.. She hasnt put me on any calcium. I have Vitamin D to take, but that is the only extra vitamin I take. Aside from my pre natals. She has me taking.... Zantac?? For the heart burn.

I would be ALL over a regular milk shake! Especially if I had to get it from cold stone. Can you imagine walking in there with a prescription in your hand??Daily doses of chocolate banana milkshakes.. Im ALL over that!

hmmm, dh takes that but i never had heartburn on a regular basis to need something like that. poor girl! it's pretty much rough all the way around, huh? bummer.

Yeah.. it blows. My FAVORITE part is when I lay down on the couch, and roll myself into a position that I cant get out of... THen I have to pee.. You know, the pregnant pee.. I have to pee RIGHT NOW. and I cant get up. One of the kids have to go get their dad so he can heft my giant butt of the couch to pee.

The poor man is in a wrist brace.. He SAYS its not from me, but I think it might be. I am barely half way there... and everyone is in agreement. I am FAR bigger now, then I was full term with Mikalah. And my really rapid growth is just starting. Can you imagine how this is going to end?

 

[staley7580]

So... are you packed yet? Confirmed all your ressies?? Suitcases by the door waiting to be grabbed on the way out???

You best get to packing!! Only a few more days. You leave Friday, right?

 

[Alex2kMommy]

i just checked the forecast; it's nice, low to mid 70s, through monday; then it poops out, even turns to rain on wednesday and thursday, and is supposed to be in the upper 50s the last few days of our stay. i'm hoping that changes for the better.

yes, early friday. last time we got up at like 4 am; i thought it would be hard to get the boys up, but thank goodness as soon as i mentioned going to disneyland they squirmed right out of bed.

overcast days do make for more colorful pictures... just looking for the glass half-full.

you're right, it will still be disneyland. besides, i heard when it rains people stay away. no crowds would be a-ok with me!

We ALWAYS do the early morning flights! Its easier on us, and the kids. They are way calmer for some reason. Plus we get there early in the day, and can take a nap and get stuff done!

yeah, we'll get in around lunchtime; not sure if we could get ds4 to take a nap that day of arrival. so maybe we eat and hit the park, woohoo!!!

hey, have you ever ordered groceries to be delivered before?

Nope.. We have always had a car. But we dont do a lot in the way of groceries either.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

yeah, we usually get a car, plus i bring some snack type foods in the luggage. but we decided not to get a car this time, so we thought for $10 delivery we'll just order online... but we haven't done that before!

I have done it here at home, and I love it. There have been a ton of threads over on the DL boards about it. Most who do it, love it.

so if we want to get an order to arrive on saturday around noon, can we order it the day before after we arrive? or do they need more than 24 hours' notice?
