Expect the Unexpected: A 2021 PTR- finally updated and planning our next trip!

I hope everyone will have access to the vaccine sooner rather than later!

It will happen... just have to be patient. And try not to become a patient in the meanwhile.

That's Robert!

So annoying! I hope so too- if not, we'll just have to plan another trip!

Definitely sounds like diabetes in a day.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

The whole system is crazy and I'm lucky my job will let me be out 12 weeks paid. I know women who had to go back to work weeks after having their babies and I just can't imagine!

Yep it is horrible here. I worked at a daycare when I had my 2. I had AFLAC at the time so I got paid something. If it wasn't for that I would have gotten paid nothing. I only got 2 weeks of vacation time a 3 sick days that had to be used when sick. I had issues with both so time off was used up on doctor appointments. I took 7 weeks with DS. His baptism was Memorial weekend so I took one more week to get everything together. for DD it was 6 weeks. It sucked but I go to have the kids in the same building as me. Until DD was 6 months old and I finally left the daycare.

What did you eat from Docking Bay 7? We really liked Beaches and Cream but I think the last time we were there was 2016 or 2017 so I can't wait to go back.

We got the veggie hummus something or other... it was essentially hummus and falafel with veggies. I really liked it. We also got the pekka pasta rings which is on the kids menu, and that was just ok. It would be great for a picky kid though! Haha. My sister and BIL got something beef I think? And maybe also a chicken thing? She said it was delicious. I don’t eat meat, so I can’t confirm.

Robert is such a cutie ! I love the idea of pictures. I always want professional pics at Epcot. Maybe someday!

I'm glad you got your vaccine! I'm sure it's a relief- especially with travelling and eventually going back to work.

I was so back and forth about it but I'm happy to have all the protection I can.

That would be great to get some photos done! And such a good idea to do it with an ex CM to help support them!

I'm still trying to get it lined up but I hope it can happen!

So true.

It's so sad that there isn't a better maternity leave system in place. I go back the first week of March so I'll have been home 12 weeks and even that feels too soon for me!

Oo thank you! I'm excited to try it!

Thank you!! Oo professional pics at Epcot would be awesome too!

So we are back from our trip! Have been for a little while actually lol but I had no time to make it back to the Dis!

Unfortunately I had to return to work last week. Robert and I had just gotten into a nice routine and now we've all had to readjust so it's kinda been chaos but we're working on it!

Anyway, we had a great trip! Much more slower paced than we're used to but it was amazing to see Robert taking in everything. Hopefully, I will one day get around to writing a trip report about it!

Here's a few pictures from the trip in the meanwhile:







And happy belated St. Patrick's Day from our lucky charm

Ugh... Hate those words.... return to work...

Anyway, we had a great trip!

Good! Glad to hear!

Awww.

Look at that smile! Now there's a happy baby!

Did all those come from one box???

Glad to hear you had a good trip....I was thinking of you guys and hoping you had fun.

So sad that you had to go back already. The US really needs to up their game where mat leave is concerned. Is Robert going to daycare? Hope you guys get a new routine going soon.

He is so, so adorable!

I loved all the pictures your shared during your trip! It looks like it was a nice time, and I'm sure as a mom, it was really special taking your kid for the first time. Looking forward to the trip report!

 

[StarWarsMomofGirls!]

Welcome Back. Getting back to work is a blessing and a curse. I hope the transition isn't too bad. And I hope you get to sharing some things of your trip!

 

[eliseisawkward]

What a cute little leprechaun you have there!!! Glad to see you had a good first visit as a family of 3!!

They came from a 2 lb bag

Aww thank you!

Yes they definitely do! It's a disaster. Thankfully, Mike and I are trying to work different days and when we do overlap, either my mom or sister watch him.

He is so, so adorable!

Thank you!
