Full of PANIC

[Twice_as_Nice]

I can't sleep.

We officially leave in 7 hours for our little guys Make A Wish trip and I am in a panic that we will forget something. Or that he will freak out at the airport or on the plane (I REALLY don't want to ruin anyone else's trip, I just want to be "normal" for once). OR that he will get sick on the trip. ACK.

Apparently it's possible to be both SUPER excited and SUPER full of anxiety at the same time.

It's just we have been waiting for this moment for months, it's helped us through some difficult times to remember that we have this trip to look forward to so we can get through anything. Now it's here and I just want it to be perfect for him and our older 2. It's such a HUGE INCREDIBLE blessing to be able to go on this trip I want to make sure we make lasting memories to help us through the road ahead, to really appreciate it to the fullest and reinvigorate our family.

We are celebrating our little guys 4th birthday on the trip, his birthday is Saturday, and it's always a difficult day for me that is filled with mixed emotions. He was born at 26 weeks 1.5lbs and spent 115days in the NICU, after coming home it's just never ended. We fought for so long to keep him with us, for him to beat the odds, then when we found out he had an inherited bone marrow failure disorder I was gutted and we are fighting to keep him all over again. He's a marvel and I am trying to channel his spirit and fighting nature to stay positive and think of this trip as a way to heal those wounds and turn his birthday into something positive and filled with joy.

It's hard to explain. So some positive vibes for a fun, non eventful, trip would be amazing.

Sending you positive vibes all the way from Australia. You will be on the plane by now and hopefully none of your fears materialized or if they did that you all coped with whatever came your way. Have a brilliant trip and make lots of memories.

Awww, you're such a sweet momma. You're full of anxiety because you care so much about making this a special trip. And it will be. Kids are unpredictable and anyone who has one knows that. We'll understand if there is a meltdown or a little one gets sick. Don't worry about that. Focus on the wonderful memories you're going to make with your family. Enjoy every moment and thanks for reminding the rest of us to do the same!

hope you have an amazing trip! And just remember to relax! You won't see it all, do it all, but it will still be a great trip. Seriously some of my favorite memories were just sitting on a bench feeding the birds and feeding the disney ducks.

Thank you all so much you are all so sweet.

Our travel day yesterday was PERFECTION! The flight was awesome and our little guy was fantastic on the flight. Actually for a plane FULL of little ones the flight was rather quiet no one had any meltdowns.

We arrived and are having a wonderful time. I actually started a blog to post daily about our adventures if anyone wants to follow along and see what a wish trip is like http://liveanawfullybigadventure.blogspot.com/

Today we stay around Give Kids the World for the morning and afternoon and then head to MNSSHP at 4pm.
