"coteau_chick"We do believe in "George"

I think its rude for ppl to assume you are just done or that you have enough kids. Some families are complete after one and others arent complete until they have had 6 or more. I always wanted a big family but after several failed IVF treatments, several miscarriages, and 2 failed infant adoptions, we decided to be foster to adopt parents. We now have 3 and I still want more, my friends think I am crazy and I am sure my family does too. If you want more, go for it!
 
Love your trip report so far! And if you want more kids, go for it! Don't listen to other people. Sometimes rude people just can't keep their mouths shut.

Can't wait to read more :surfweb:
 
I would be happy for you to join in. Thanks for the statement about all of you children being conceived with lots of help and prayers. That encourages me because I really would like another one. I am praying about going for another trip to the fertility doctor. When we made our magic carpet wish at Disney I wished for two things. I already said what the first one was (for a savana view upgrade). The second one which I have kept a secret untill now was for another baby. My friend would think that I am crazy if the knew that because first of all I am 36 and it took nine years for us to get pregnant for Grace. The second thing is that everyone seems to assume that we would not possibly want anymore children. People say to me all the time that she is my little cabose. It makes me mad that they assume that. Am I wrong for wanting more? I just don't feel like my family is complete yet. Sory to go off topic but I felt like venting. Thanks for listening.;)

I know! After we had success with the frozen IVF cycle for the twins....I was getting the "Oh, now you have the perfect family, a boy and a girl. I bet you're done!" Ummmm...no, why do you get to question our fertility decisions? Argh. And then....after we got pregnant (again, frozen IVF cycle, same batch of embryos)....."Oh, why? You already had the perfect family!" Excuse me?????

So, no....you're not wrong!

Okay, this is me stepping down off my high horse......

I agree with the kids! I have 4, & I am done now. I was very lucky though & never had any problems conceiving them. My heart goes out to those that do!:flower3: I would love to have more, but we just don't have the room for more. Everyone says we are crazy for having 4 kids. I say have as many as you can if that is what you want! :thumbsup2

Look forward to more of your report!

Thank you all for the kind supporting words. :grouphug: I hope God will give me at least one more. I just am so thankful and blessed to have children at all.
 
I agree about the kids thing. We only have one child and we are happy with that. We get negative comments about it all the time. "you aren't finished yet are you?" So just remember that there are ugly comments by SOME people no matter what you choose to do. You might as well do what makes you happy. :flower3:

Oh I hope you get to have another Baby!!! Don't worry about what others say, just do what makes you happy. Follow your heart. That's what I am going to do, and of course, say prayers for guidance.

We have a 16 month old which took 4 and half years to get here! Then, we decided when he turned one to have another, and it happened within two months, but I will very sadly say that last week I had a miscarriage!! I am so sad about it, b/c you see, I will be 36 next month and who knows how much time I have left. And don't get me started about the lectures that the doc gave me about being over 35 and Down's syndrome...

I am just thankful for these boards, b/c last weekend, while I was recovering from the m/c, I had to have bed rest for 4 days, and I was looking for Disney stuff b/c we were going to WDW in March and I came across these boards and since then, they have gave me something to do besides dwell on the miscarriage!!

So to all of you, I am thankful!!
 
Can't wait for more of your trip report! Our children are 15, 7 (yep, it took us quite a while, too), and 5 (the surprise that wasn't supposed to be possible). Taking them to WDW is always an adventure, both good and bad. However, we can't wait to get back to the World at the end of March.
 
I'm so glad you got the savannah view!:cool1:

I know what you mean. When we only had Courtney people would always say to me "Don't you think its time for another one? What are you waiting on?" I think that was so rude especially since we were going through infertility and I desparately wanted another one. They would just end up making me cry.

I am so sory to hear about you miscarriage. I will pray for God to send you a little miracle to heal your broken heart.

I wish I could go back in March. I hope you have a wonderful vacation.

Who says you can't have more kids...?

They just assume I couldn't possibly want another one. They say you are finished having children now and if I say I want another one I get the evil eye from them:rotfl2:
 
I'm so glad you got the savannah view!:cool1:

Me too. I got a savannah view/ construction view (bonus):thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 DS loved the construction as well. The cm from check in told me that sometimes they overbook standard view and thats why the give free upgrades. They only can give the free upgrade if you ask so don't be shy about asking for an upgrade.
 
Day One Continued

The first thing we did at MK is the Swiss Family Tree house. I did not enjoy it too much because of all the stairs and I had to carry Grace. She is so heavy she weighs twenty pounds. My arms were hurting. Here is a picture from the tree house.

Next we rode Pirates of the Carabiean. We asked the cm is the ride was really haunted by "George" and she said yes. She told us that she has actually seen the ghost. She was working late one night and had to get something in a backroom and she saw him.While we were riding the ride Courtney, Brennan and I said, "I don't believe in George." Courtney took it further and said, "I really, really, don't believe in George and I am not kidding."
Nothing happened. The ride didn't break or stop. But after that some strange things happened. Several of the rides we rode on for the rest of the trip stopped for a few minutes due to techinical difficulties.

Here is a pic from POC

Next we rode Jungle Cruise. At the end of the ride our boat bumped into the boat in front of us really hard. (George?pirate: )

This zebra was so tired "Dead tired"

Next we went to the Tiki Room. After that we went to Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner. When we got in line for our check in I recognized someone from disboards. It was Mickeycakelady. I got to meet my first dis person. We talked for a few minutes and then they were called to their table. I really wanted to take a picture with her. I told my dh that I wanted to take a picture with her but I was scared to ask her because I didn't know if she would because some people had been really mean to her on the boards. Courtney said, "Just go ask her, its just a picture . Its not like you are going to shoot laser beam at her":rotfl2:
I did ask her and she said yes. She also wanted to take a picture with me. Here is the picture we took. She is on the left.

She was really nice. Her family was cute. She has twin boys 8 years old.

Here are some more pictures from Liberty tree tavern

Grace meeting Minnie

After dinner we did Carosel of Progress. I love this. The song is so catching. Then next we did Buzz Lightyear. I rode with Courtney and Grace. Our laser broke (George??pirate: )

After that ride we went back to the resort because we were so tired because we had been up since 3:00am.
 
Great updates! Love seeing the pictures and I really love the one of Grace and Minnie Mouse. TOO CUTE!!

George=SPOOKY!!
 
I hadn't heard about the "george" thing before. I guess I'll have to try it!

Grace is so adorable!
