Is it a bad sign for the vacation when you faint on the plane? COMPLETED!

[MRYPPNS]

Sorry to hear about your bad dinner. Liam looked so cute in his Hawaiian shirt. How exciting about the baby, it is so close now.

Thanks. The baby can come anyday now!

why hello......

A drive-by posting from my peep Jordan.....

Great trip report. I can't wait to read the rest. I hope the magic came back for you.

Thanks....I need to find some time to write the rest of it!

'Lil Stinker!!

This is why the Lord made them so cute and cuddly when they're little...

Sorry he gave you such a hard time at `Ohana, but at least you all got to eat desert together!

Thankfully Liam wasn't like that the whole time....he'd just have his meltdown and then be back to his cheerful self.

Happy Easter, Heidi! Hope the Easter Bunny brings Liam lots of great goodies!

The Easter bunny bought Liam his first thing of Play-Dough.....he only tried to eat it 3 times!

I know what you mean about DH taking him away from a situation too fast. Its hard for them to get used to this type of thing if they are always taken straight away.
I sometimes think that if kids cry at something and you whip them away you are reaffirming that there is a reason to cry. Kind of like - i don't like this - oh Daddy is taking me away so I was right - it must be bad afterall. Not well explained but you see what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean. DH has only really done this at Disney. But a couple weeks ago we went out to dinner with my in-laws. At the end of the meal when we were waiting for the bill....Liam was getting a little ansty. MIL wanted to take him away from the table and take him outside. Both DH and I wouldn't allow it for exactly your reasoning. I just re-focused his attention on something else. I think MIL is used to her other grandkids....who I have never had a meal with without them having a major issue.

Not nice to hear you were choking back the tears in Ohanas. Happened to me once when DH and I went just after we got married. we were supposed to go with his best man and his girlfriend but then they broke up so he brought a friend (another guy). DH was great but dragging those 2 round was a nightmare (didn't much like his best man at the best of times). We were at AK and I really wanted to see Festival of the Lion King for the first time. They made it clear they really didn't but instead of doing something else they came too and sulked like 2 year olds. I remember very clearly sitting there fighting tears wishing it was all so different and it was just DH and I. You should never feel like that at Disney!

You should never feel like that ANYWHERE!

Happy Easter everyone!

Hope things get better for you & your family

Thanks.... we avoided triggers as much as we could in the second half of the vacation.

Oh dear. I fell horribly behind again. But I will say that it is nice to get all caught up in one concentrated bit of an afternoon!

I too like to have a TR to read for an afternoon.....kinda like a novel on a rainy day!

I hope you had a Happy Easter Heidi!

It was a relaxing day.

Come on, May 3rd!!!!

How 'bout April 16th????

Do you ever freak out when you see your Ticker? I did today....24 days until I have an infant and an almost 2 yr old to take care of

You'll be fine....i just know it!

 

[MRYPPNS]

You'll be fine....i just know it!

Yeah because I'm flying you out here to help me!

The male performer was a bit like Don Ho. Slightly cheesy but in a good way. Not plasticy, and he didn't seem phony. Cheesy only because he reminded me of Don Ho. He might of even sang Tiny Bubbles.

Thanks for the info! Don Ho sounds more appealing than the female performer.

The sickness was gone by the end of that weekend. We didn't go out and wouldn't let anyone in the house so we didn't keep passing it around. My parents went to the supermarket for us and I made them leave the food in the garage so they didn't get sick!

Babybanz.com has get bucket hats for kids....SPF 50.

Too funny because I was going to write the exact same thing about Don Ho!

I'm glad the sickness came to an end! Ugh! No fun.

I checked out the hats on Babynanz...they are so cute! I can't recall Henry's exact head size, I am thinking he's already too big for them, but I'll have to double check. He's recently gotten into sunglasses too, so maybe we'll try those too.

I cannot even fathom. BUT, you will do great!! Today is 18 days, I gotta go check that baby pool again.

Alex was kicked out of his day care center for behavioral issues one month before Zach was born... so much for a quiet maternity leave at home with the new baby! You can totally do it!

They have toddler sizes in the bucket hats too. For some reason they are harder to find on the website.

UGH!

I'll have DH home for 2-3 weeks after the baby is born to help. Then I'm hoping at by the end of June my MIL can come up one day a week. And I got a nice email from my dad is morning saying not to worry about asking them to watch Liam (just this week I've needed them to watch Liam 3 mornings between my pt job and dr appointments). At least with having spring babies I don't have to worry about bundling them up to go outside in the snow and ice.

 

[MRYPPNS]

I'm more than half way done with this TR but I'll probably have to take a break from updating it until after I get into a routine with the new baby and Liam. I'm at the point now that I can't even think about writing a shopping list for DH, much less a TR update. But the good news is that I write on a laptop and I have wi-fi out in my yard so I might have some time when Liam is running around outside and the baby is relaxing in a swing.

Still to come from our vacation is Animal Kingdom (I have some amazing pictures to share), Halloween and Epcot Food and Wine.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Day 5 Lowlights: My lunch at Cookes of Dublin.....so wished I would have had EOS!

Our dinner at 'Ohana....not because of the food.....because of Liam's horrible reaction to being there.

Day 5 Highlights: My free time shopping alone at DTD without the boys.....this will be a must do again for future trips

Liam enjoying playing in water at the kiddie pool. DH and I love the water so it was great to see Liam taking to the water with no fear.

Check out the Baby Pool link .....we are currently guessing on names (I gave a few hints....I may need to give some more!)

Thanks for reading

 

[mousescrapper]

Yeah because I'm flying you out here to help me!

you know I would if I didn't have my own crew of 4....


You deserve a nice break before your little Princess comes. we'll be here when you come back to finish up....hey many of us waited over a year for KathyRN to finish one of her's....JK Kathy!

happy blissful moments in the days ahead w/ Liam and hubby.

J-

Of course I'll post pictures....I've been wondering if there is any wi-fi at my hostipal since I'll be bringing the laptop anyways.

 

[TarzansKat]

I'm with everyone else, take all the time you need.

It's so exciting, in a few short weeks, you'll be holding that baby girl in your arms!

 

[ScotsMinnie]

they might let you in with your laptop!!! Seriously though - hope all goes extra well for you all and enjoy that precious little girl. I'm sure Liam will be a great big brother - if nothing else he will be one of the cutest big brothers!!! One more baby to mould into a disney addict!!!!!

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, Heidi, I understand -- I'll still be here and eager to read the updates when you are able to complete them. I can't believe it is almost time for you to have your little princess!!! I need to head over to your baby pool soon -- in fact, I will do that right now.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Heidi- as others have said, take your time! We'll be here! Best wishes with the new princess!

 

[DisMomAmy]

Take all the time you need - you deserve the "break". I can't wait to hear the baby news & see pictures! I'll be here when you find the time to finish your TR.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Take all the time you need! I look forward to baby pics and updates when you can get to them!!
