DD wants her "Mimmie"!..Our 9/09 PTR

[Stasieki]

WOW! That dress is so cute. You are very talented. I can't believe that was your first. I'm not creative at all so have never attempted sewing (except buttons - haha).

Well, we are now officially A WEEK AWAY!!! Poor Olivia has lost any play space in her room b/c all the suitcases are out, so now playtime is in the living room only! I made one of my many trips to Target and the grocery store the other day and got some awesome BOGO/on sale deals on cereal, Goldfish, juiceboxes, cereal bars and diapers, so all that got thrown in a suitcase as well. I also made a quick run out to Kohl's to see if they had anything I "just had to have"! I actually got pretty lucky! I found Olivia a pink sundress with the princesses on it! It was normally $28.00 but with the awesome sale, it was only $1.80!!!! I did our online check-in right at the 10 day mark. It was so easy, and I am hoping when we get there it will be nice and quick so we can head right over to Epcot!

Now, the crummy news...Olivia is SICK!!! She had a runny nose on Sunday which I originally thought was due to her 2 year molars coming in....I was WRONG! I took her to the doctor on Wednesday b/c she wasn't getting any better, just worse. She has a double ear infection, strep throat, sinus infection and bronchitis! She started on anitbiotics and a nebulizer right away and now (2 days later), she seems to be getting better (although now, the lovely diarrhea has started from the anitbiotics). I told the doctor that we had a WDW trip planned and she was 99% sure Olivia would be totally fine by the time we left...whew! She has been acting totally pathetic (I know some of it is real, but she is quite the actress)!. Poor baby has been living on orange sherbet and strawberry milk since Monday. I am hoping today she will want to eat some real food!

I'm off to do some house cleaning while Olivia is entertained by Dumbo (Dabo)!

Oh No! Poor Olivia. She should be over it all before your trip, but I know it is so hard when our kids our sick. Looks like you are well on your way to being ready for your trip. We can't wait to hear how it all goes.

Think of it this way - if she's sick now, she'll be better in a week in time for the trip!
Better than getting sick next week!

BTW, that dress looks awesome!
Should be some great "Mimmie" pictures in your future...

Thanks! I am hoping she is over 100% by the time we leave! She is already acting better-not just laying in our bed asking to watch Dumbo (Dabo), she is tearing up the living room, since her playroom is full of suitcases and piles!

I am DEFINITELY glad that is is sick this week rather than next!!! I am glad I got her into the doc early enough so the funk goes away before we leave! Thank you for the dress complement!!! It is professional by any means, but it will work for the trip and then her birthday party! I'm hoping to get some great shots at Chef Mickey's!

Thanks for reading! At least I know I have 2 followers!

I just read your blog. That is amazing how much Olivia thrived (and still does) after being born premature. What an amazing miracle.

Thank you! We are quite amazed by her every single day. From the time she was born we were told to expect delays physically and emotionally, as well as the possibility of Cerebral Palsy and other illnesses. So far we have been prettly lucky. She does get sick more than other kids (one of the reasons we decided I should stay home with her...I cannot imagine how many days of work I would have to miss if she was in daycare)! She also gets tired out more quickly that other kiddos her age, but we hardly notice that!!! She is also a little peanut! Even at almost 2, she is only about 33 inches tall and 22 pounds!

Well, we just got home, and had an awesome time!!!! I am uploadings pics as I type and will start our TR sometime tomorrow after I take Olivia to the doctor!

 

[Stasieki]

Looking forward to hearing all about it!
