Four-mer TKers...4 one, 4 all, 4 ever

[LivinInTheCastle]

Thanks Wendy. Can't believe I was able to keep it from you all this long, when I found out I was going to meet Kitty in person, I thought it would be cool to break the news to her in person.

 

[M&N]

And baby already went to see Mickey! Congratulations...When is the exact due date?

We need trip reports...It's exciting to make TKers 'visible'.

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

Exactly, so next time it needs to be able to move around on its own!!!
My due date is October 2, but I have a feeling I will go early, women in my family actually tend to go early with the first babies!!
I do want to work on a trip report-and I have to figure out how exactly to post pictures, since I took some of the flat TKers.

 

[M&N]

I learned how to do the pics so I'm sure you can do it. Mine never came out too big though.
I was going to ask if you had any other children...could not remember. Do you have a preference---boy or girl? Are you going to find out ahead? I had always thought I would want to know. I never did like to go to 'generic' baby showers...had to buy green outfits!

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

No we don't have any other children. We've been married almost 10 years and we are just having our first! My ultrasound is next Tuesday, but I don't think we are going to find out. We both think a surprise would be cool. And I don't mind lots of green--it's my favorite color! The nursery stuff, and stroller, car seat, etc is all green and yellow winnie the pooh themed. Anything we get though, we will be grateful for.

 

[M&N]

I don't think I would be pickie either. They have a lot of neat Winnie things out...did you go on the Winnie ride? I hope you have a picture of it to show baby. I saw on tv a couple let their friend find out the sex and she's in charge of decorating the nursery...I would not like that. I would want to pick out the cute, special things for it.

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

We did go on the winnie the pooh ride, I just love Pooh stuff! I even bought a stuffed winnie the pooh made of the softest material for the baby!! Oh, I could not let someone else pick out the stuff for the nursery..I am to controlling for that for sure. We've just started (before vaca) to clean out the room and I am already beginning to freak on details a little bit!

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

Gosh, it's 11:30, I better get to bed, I have to go back to work tomorrow. Talk to you all soon and I will try to start on a TR soon.

 

[M&N]

And I was going to bed early. Let us know how the room is coming along...Night

 

[Pikester]

Good morning!

Just stopping by for a quick hello before work.

LITC:

Magikitty & LITC:

BACK! Can't wait to hear about your trips


whgrn: Glad to hear your Mom's recovery is going so well.

BKMETV:

M&N:You are a great daughter!

D&DDisney:

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's off to work I go......

Have a great day ladies!

 

[MagiKitty]

Good morning everyone!

Yahoo! LITC was here! Truthfully, I was so scared I'd blurb her secret! There's another TKer baby on the way! Isn't it wonderful? I was so happy to share in their excitement for the little one! I love the Winnie the Pooh theme--and now I've been seeing it everywhere like Target, Sears, and Walmart! And there'll be a baby for the holidays!

Wendy, did you go to the doctor way early this morning? Is it for your Mom or a follow up for you? Either way, hope everyone is feeling good!

Still haven't worked on my pictures yet. Did get laundry sorted into piles and did absolutely nothing with it. Am studying up on Lancaster county and Hersheypark. My local Burger King has coupons for Hershey--$10 off. Is that good? I'll grab a whole bunch for everyone. My 11 year old nephew wants to tag along and ride roller coasters. We're still in negotiations for that one...

Did anyone see the Amazing Race finale on Sunday? It was so good, and so sad. I'm presently crushing on Luke. But I found out he's only 22, and even that is too young for me. He has gorgeous eyes and yummy arms.

Oh! got some texts from Shmu yesterday. Her DD just turned 17 and somehow that affects her text plan, so she was texting me. Everyone is good and she was going walking in the park yesterday.

Ok, have a great day everyone!

 

[M&N]

Hershey Park prices: You do the math! If you want 1 day, I think the coupon is good. Don't think getting it at AAA is cheaper. I used to have an 'in' for cheaper tickets but the kids don't work there any more.

[MagiKitty]

M&N...you are a font of knowledge! I'm thinking at least two days, maybe even a half-day with preview! IF I decide to let little nephew tagalong, he'll want to do things over and over. And for a few dollars more, it'll be totally worth it!

How long do you think Chocolate World will take for a first timer? How crazy are the weekends?

If we're keeping the original meet date for July 19/20, I'm thinking maybe coming in on Saturday and doing the halfday then, then Sunday and Monday. I haven't really determined how long of a drive it will be for me. But if I can get to DC in 5 hours, then I'm sure I can get to Hersheypark in less than that!

Is anyone else considering hotels? Any suggestions? preferably not too expensive and a free brekkie would be great--I need my coffee!

Ok, I just found out my boy-crush Luke is not interested in girls. Sadness. Now I don't feel so bad that he's too young for me. Overall, my BF is handling my crushes quite well. He did get miffed when I said the Goofy is a good hugger. But then again, Goofy and i have this chemistry that cannot be denied!

There's always camping- Quite inexpensive and we'll make coffee for ya. I think I got Racetrack to join us in a cabin. Maybe you too....?

Your nephew is the same age as my oldest DS. They could hang out together.

 

[MagiKitty]

D&D...that's perfect! (your DS, not the cabin) I will come visit you at the cabin, but I don't think I'm much for camping. I went once in British Columbia, and while the rest of the family seemed to enjoy it, I apparently did not get that gene...do the cabins have plumbing?

Oh! I need to share with you how LITC told me about Baby LITC (or LITC-let). I met her and DH at the archway in China, and we're standing there talking about the crowds (pretty heavy that day) when I notice she has one of those Disney pins on, the ones they give you at Customer relations. It says "I'm celebrating....having a baby!" Both of them were wearing such pins. It was so cute! I think I stopped mid-sentence, pointed at her button and said "what?!". I think I even teared up a little bit. Such happiness!

 

[D&DDisney]

No plumbing but they do have electric, heat/AC.
There are beds w/mattress in there and all you need to do is bring sleeping bags.

 

[racetrack18kb]

Gee, I can't get on here for a couple of days and what do I come back to?????

A THREAD FULL OF HAPPY NEWS!!!!!

Magikitty and LITC are back!

LITC....you're pregnant!!! Oh, am so happy for you and DH.

I tried to get here yesterday but was just too tired. I didn't get to bed until after 3am on Sunday. DH had to drive to Philly at 2am and there was no way I could fall asleep until I knew he made it there. He's working in New Orleans this week. He gets to come back on Thursday for the weekend and might have to go back on Sunday. I swear his boss saves all the out of town jobs until it's almost our vacation time.

Magikitty, we should be getting there sometime Saturday and staying till Monday too. But it looks like we might camp instead of staying in a hotel. And if you can swing it, definitely bring your Nephew. My kids will be there along with D&D's.

Hey...camping is not that bad. Especially in the cabins. If we don't make ressie soon though, we'll be in a tent.

I can make coffee and pancakes Kitty. There's your free breakfast.

 

[MagiKitty]

hi Racetrack! how you doing? I totally thought of you and your family two weeks ago...

My family wasn't supposed to get into Orlando until dinner time, so I spent my first day at Universal! I got there pretty early, about 9:30 on a Sunday. I was intending to ride the Simpsons ride, since it wasn't open the last time I was there. As I was walking, I came upon Shaggy with thy Mystery Machine, Marilyn Monroe, and Lucille Ball! Then kept walking to the Simpsons, where I saw Bart and Lisa, who were fighting as usual. I then got on line for the ride, which took about 15 minutes until i was sitting inside! Even for me, who has never watched an episode of the show ever, the ride was a lot of fun! Although I did kinda miss Back to the Future.

coming out of the ride, I found Homer and Marge, who took pics with me also. Then onto Men in Black, Jaws, the Mummy, and Shrek. I was walking in "San Francisco", where I was approached for a three question survey about food (one of my fave subjects). I was then asked if I'd try some potatoes for a $10 compensation. heck yeah! three spoonfulls of potato and lunch was paid for!

I had intended to spend the afternoon at IOA, but my SIL called and said they had estimated incorrectly and were an hour outside of Orlando. Kinda disappointed I didn't get a peek at Harry Potter, but I did get a lot done in a few hours!

I don't know when its scheduled to open, but I saw the new rip and rocket rollercoaster they're building and let me just say, I'm NOT getting on that thing! It looks crazy!

I know it can't be bad. Just different. And let me have my complaining time before we go....remember I'm a newbie.

I know we need to make those ressies. Been a couple of hectic days...feel like pulling my hair out.
