DDA Chapter 4

[KMH1]

Thank you for all the well wishes for Kevin! He's been sleeping almost all day, so hopefully he'll kick the bug quickly. I'm praying it doesn't rebound to anyone!

Continued for all of you who are sick, too!

Marci, great pictures!

for Karen and Shocker.

Prayers for you and Bill, Kristine.

Elizabeth is right, it really is a double-edged sword. One reason I didn't share my pregnancy with you all sooner is out of respect for all the IVF stuff Jen and Kristine were going through. I know Jen didn't post her ultrasound pictures right away, too.

I often feel like my problems are minimal in comparison to what others are going through, so I tend not to post too many personal issues. A few weeks ago, I typed out a very long post about my emotions and struggles with weaning Matthew. I ended up just deleting it.

I know our thread is for sharing it all, joys and heartbreak, but I tend to overthink things. Plus, I've done such a crappy job of keeping up with all the posts since Matty was born, that I just "keep swimming."

And now I'm rambling, so I'll hit submit and bring in the groceries now.

I had a good visit with the Dr today. Even the smash and bash went well.

Since I have gone from 170lbs to 142lbs, I knew my thyroid medicine would change and I got a new prescription in January. The Dr wants me to get another test done next month because he thinks my dosage amount will drop again.

I only shrank a teeny tiny little bit

You get boarding passes for all flights.

So i'll have (if I'm lucky) an A(plus number) for the first leg, and A(plus number) for the second leg of the trip?

 

[lovesdumbo]

Me, too! I THOUGHT about making a smart-aleck comment like that, but I refrained (which is rare for me.) Then Bernadette popped off with it!
Anne Marie, I think Daniel's perception might be a bit off.

I think maybe Joe somehow understands that being the only boy in the family is what makes him special. Lizzy is the oldest, Emma is the youngest and he's the boy. I think another pregnancy would kill me and I'm way too old now anyways. I am just now getting some of my memory/brain function back after having Emma.

hey everyone this is Karens attendant. I hope that I am doing this right. She ask me to let you all know what is going on with shocker. They are on there way to Texas A&M. for more testing she might have a tumor in her head or leasons on her spine. She will keep you guys updated when she returns.

Lots of for Shocker and for Karen!!!

I don't think you need to worry bout that. I think we are all here to share no matter how minimal you think they may be. It helps just to get it out.

And you certainly don't need to worry about keeping up.

I've probably told you this before but I had a really dificult time adjusting from 1 baby to 2 but going from 2 to 3 was so much easier!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Well my weather bug was going off when I got home. We are doomed!

Stay safe, Heidi!

Just out of curiosity, has anyone stayed at CBR? It looks very spread out, but beautiful.

You just can't stop looking at AP rates, can you? Once I realized the beds at the Mods weren't any bigger than the Values I decided the choice was Value or Deluxe. I don't know anything about the Mods other than the names!

Good for you, Terry!

Amy, I am sorry you are having a hard time! Might as well post and get it off your chest! I guess I should be grateful that most of my gripes really are petty - like DH winning a tent instead of a TV! And just in case you don't meet the transition from 2 to 3 with flawless ease like Bernadette, I think going from 2 to 3 is hard!

DS is quite certain he wants to be the only child FOREVER. Which is good, because that's how it is going to be! Even when he was younger he never said he wanted siblings. Maybe because DH is an only and I was an only long enough to know I REALLY liked it has rubbed off on DS.

Is anyone ordering from Disney shopping anytime soon?

hey everyone this is Karens attendant. I hope that I am doing this right. She ask me to let you all know what is going on with shocker. They are on there way to Texas A&M. for more testing she might have a tumor in her head or leasons on her spine. She will keep you guys updated when she returns.

Thanks for letting us know. Tell Karen that we are thinking about her and Shocker and sending lots of pixie dust!

 

[tinknme]

Actually I said the same thing yesterday, I either want value or deluxe. But I do like looking

Thanks Elizabeth. If it was just the 5-6" of snow no biggie, but they are calling for 2" of ice also.

Stay safe, Heidi!

And yet we still love ya! I can understand Kristine needing to distance herself from the thread right now. I hope and pray that all will be well for her and Bill.

I hope that you and Jennifer know that we are all thrilled beyond belief for you guys. Kristine is, too. It's just hard for her to deal with right now. I remember when we were going through all our infertility crap. I just wanted to burrow into my blankets and never surface again. I hated Mother's Day! I literally would curl into a ball and wish to die! Luckily, I had a great husband, that would take me to Vegas to celebrate being able to do what we wanted, when we wanted.

In short, don't stop posting about your trials and troubles, because we still are family! We may not respond, but we still love you and want to share in your joys and sorrows!

I just received another passholder email, are they trying to push booking

Try going from 2 to 4! Actually, it wasn't too bad! Alan and I both have 2 hands so 4 hands, 4 kids, it all works out!

 

[yellowfish78]

MyPublisher is offering another B1G1 promotion. TRAVEL241 by May 31st. Looks like I have a few months to finish my scrapbook!

Did those that use this site receive the same email/code?

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Is anyone ordering from Disney shopping anytime soon?

Not if I want to remain married. I went a little overboard on the pins.

THAT would be a good reason for me to look for another job!

 

[tink2020]

Let me know where you ordered your from, will ya? I'm in need of a new summer body, and would like to know how yours looks once it's delivered.

 

[mommykds]

I haven't had any problems doing so in the past. If I were you, I'd call them, and have them hold the reservation (don't cancel your Pop ones just yet). Then call them back later, and see if you can remove the dates. If they give you any problems, then you still have your Pop reservations.

Good luck!

Sounds good.

Sorry you aren't having better luck. Give it a few days for the hub-bub to wear off and try again.

I will. Thanks

If UPS should happen to deliver. please let me know, I would love one myself!

Ok I'll let ya know!

I never did answer this...yes I kept AP at Pop with DDP. It was $803 for 6 nights. Sounds pretty good to me and I have all my ADR's made. I think it will work out well.


I thought Daniel was your gifted one? Even Joe is smart enough not to want that.

Yes, sounds good. I am jealous you get to go so much.
Yeah, I would have thought that too. The girls gang up on him & sometimes he feels left out. He thinks a new boy would play with him. I don't think he has thought it out that a baby would destroy all his legos on the floor!

She is physically fine, but still having a hard time dealing with her miscarriage. She has stopped reading along because the topics of the day have become too painful.

Kristine, we are all thinking of you.

Me, too! I THOUGHT about making a smart-aleck comment like that, but I refrained (which is rare for me.) Then Bernadette popped off with it!
Anne Marie, I think Daniel's perception might be a bit off.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone stayed at CBR? It looks very spread out, but beautiful.

We stayed there in 2003 & loved it. The kids still talk about it. We had room 2525 in Martinique right near the food court. We had a corner room with 2 windows facing the lake & we could see the Epcot fireworks from our room. That was a very magical trip.

I had a good visit with the Dr today. Even the smash and bash went well.

Since I have gone from 170lbs to 142lbs, I knew my thyroid medicine would change and I got a new prescription in January. The Dr wants me to get another test done next month because he thinks my dosage amount will drop again.

Glad all went well. I get my smash & bash next week!

I think maybe Joe somehow understands that being the only boy in the family is what makes him special. Lizzy is the oldest, Emma is the youngest and he's the boy. I think another pregnancy would kill me and I'm way too old now anyways. I am just now getting some of my memory/brain function back after having Emma.

Oh aint that the truth!!!! I feel the same way! JMHO going from 1 to 2 is earthshattering..Going from 2 to 3..very easy.

I did see the AP discount on the FS but it is the same as AP discount on 1 value room so my 20% off with AAA will beat that. I don't want to pay a premium on my room to get the DDP at least I don't think so. I think 14 days for DDP would be way too much BUT...with 3 kids at just 9.99 per day (for the last year...) it might be worth it???

They wouldn't let me book a 2nd ressie when I tried to book bounce back in Jan. They said one or both of them would get deleted.

Ahh, didn't even think about it being the same discount as the regular value room. Yep, your AAA discount will likely be better! I couldn't even begin to fathom two weeks of the DDP.

That's interesting - I've never had that problem. Of course, I only hold 2 reservations for a couple of hours at most, and the CM's never seem to notice it.

Another way around this, Anne Marie, would be to get a TA involved, I would think. That way, they have 1 reservation, and Disney has the other. Then you have time to make up your mind.

If I had any other kid going with me I would share a room at AKL with you but I really need a food court with the pickiest kid in the world.

It does help that I really enjoy Pop.

Have you looked at Mara's offerings? I think they've tamed them down as far as African-themed, and of the deluxes I've stayed, I think it has the best quick-service. Zebra domes!

She is physically fine, but still having a hard time dealing with her miscarriage. She has stopped reading along because the topics of the day have become too painful.

Kristine - . We're here whenever you're ready.

hey everyone this is Karens attendant. I hope that I am doing this right. She ask me to let you all know what is going on with shocker. They are on there way to Texas A&M. for more testing she might have a tumor in her head or leasons on her spine. She will keep you guys updated when she returns.

Oh no! for Shocker and Karen.

Well my weather bug was going off when I got home. We are doomed!

Yikes! Guess it's going to get bad? Stay warm!

Just out of curiosity, has anyone stayed at CBR? It looks very spread out, but beautiful.

I have. It will always have a special place in my heart because it was our first on-site resort. We really enjoyed it, and I've been wanting to get back there. I actually considered it for May, but they're doing a big construction project on the main theme pool through mid-September (right near the main stores and food court), so I think I'll wait to return until it's complete. We thought it was beautiful, and the room was very comfortable. We didn't mind that it was spread-out - doesn't give you the perception that there are so many other guests around.

ETA: And it has the largest moderate rooms! I think their rooms are only about 4 sq. ft. smaller than the AKL and WL. Bigger than the values and the other moderates.

You know no one here would begrudge you any venting! Gosh knows we've all done it a time or two. Sometimes, you just need to spit it all out, and have your feelings validated.

Great news, Terry! Glad it went well, and was relatively painless.

So i'll have (if I'm lucky) an A(plus number) for the first leg, and A(plus number) for the second leg of the trip?

Yep!
