I made a plan not to be pregnant over the summer as I watched 2 friends be ridiculously uncomfortable after being due in September and being pregnant all summer! I'm due in just over a week and really happy I live in the mountains and the north as we have had some days with highs in the high 80s the nights are always cool, especially this early in the season.
I've really enjoyed your TRs while preparing to take a twoish month old to WDW in August... Yeah I'm good at planning when to expect the little one, not so good at planning a cooler trip to Disney, though I didn't really have a choice as we're going for my sister's wedding.
Oh wow, congratulations!! You must be so ready to meet your little one! I'm sending good thoughts and well wishes your way that baby comes before you get too uncomfortable and that your labor is quick and uncomplicated. I know each day at this point feels like it crawls by.
I made a point to start trying for Landon in the summer months so I'd avoid the summertime heat. (I lucked out and was pregnant with him July-April.)
Unfortunately, this little one was a bit unexpected as they were a "homecoming" baby. It wasn't until after I found out that I did the math and silently cried for a second. Florida has about 9 months of unbearable heat and I'll be pregnant for all of them. Talk about unfortunate luck. (Also aggrevating, all my maternity clothes were for the winter season, so I had to buy a whole new stockpile. Yuck.)
In some ways, taking a 2 month old to Disney will be easier than taking an older baby. At that age, they still mostly want to eat, sleep, and stink up their diaper. Plus, they'll be small enough to carry around with your arms getting exhausted and will sleep through all the shows and long rides. Don't get me wrong, there will be those newborn issues, but hopefully it won't impede too much with your Disney time. I'll be sure and go to your PTR and follow along after I've posted this. I'm a sucker for babies on their first Disney trip!
Save me a camping out spot, I'll be right there with you!
Haha We are in the same boat! I look at DH every now and then and say, "Remind me of this moment if I ever say I want a 3rd." While I wouldn't mind a 3rd kid, I don't think I could handle a 3rd pregnancy! Summer is going to be excruciating, and I am just dreading when the weather gets really REALLY hot. The third trimester is miserable enough without the heat & humidity!!
It's been going pretty well, now that the nausea has gone away. My biggest problem this time around is back pain, which is worse when I sit down for a long time. People are constantly offering me a seat, and I'm like, nope it's so much better when I stand!! lol Paxton is pretty excited, or so he says now! We are getting into girl mode now, lots of dresses and bows are arriving in our house every week!
Ugh, I think the electric company should give pregnant women in the summer some slack. Like 10% off their bill since they are carrying around a furnace. I'll never forget a few weeks ago I had a playdate at a splash pad. The wind turned direction and sent one of the fountain's mist right towards where me and my frends were standing.
You just saw three women in shirts and pants step back and one chick in a tank top and shorts move closer to the water.
I will say I am fortunate that I have the beach to keep me cool. I've already gone 3 times this summer, becauce the water and sea breeze is such a relief.
Ick, back pain is no fun. I'm sure sleeping has proven challenging. At least you don't have to worry about sitting for too long...the silver lining, right? Did you have nausea with Paxton? I never did with Landon and was pretty grumpy about getting it this time around. Mine has gotten better ever since 14 weeks, but I still get a bout around dinnertime. I can't wait until I can actually eat what I cook for Landon and Alex again.
Aww, so many girl items! When is the little one's first trip to Disney going to be? I bet that will be so much fun. Having Paxton and a girl to take to the parks. I'm excited for you! Haha
Way to go!
Glad it eventually worked out, but bummer that it brought down the mood.
Totally agree. I was never a parade person, but I've seen this one two trips in a row now.
That is hysterical!
I've done that before. I know how you feel.
She's super nice - I got to meet her and her brother this last trip and they were great.
Landon probably knows that Yeti is one of his rivals for cutest little one on the DIS.
Ah, that explains things. At the Rebel Hangar this trip, we each ordered a drink and got a glow cube. There were three different ones and we asked if we could buy the third and were told we needed to get it with a drink. So we got a Diet Coke. They are pretty cool little toys!
I was mortified at Landon's dancing! Like, what were you doing, kid?!?!
She is really nice! I hope I can run into her next May again.
Who'd have thought those glow cubes would be such a hot commodity? Maybe they should have packaged them and sold them in Darth's Mall. I bet they would sell well.
