May 2008--Everything's Coming Up Roses -- COMPLETE

[Goofyluver]

Honey...

 

[kaoden39]

We're here for you.

 

[swwake]

Marshay - saw your post about the 2. I am praying with you that those two hang on strong until tomorrow and become your twins!

 

[Marshay]

Thanks for the thoughts, prayers and hugs.

Today our 3 healthy embryos are down to 2. So as long as these 2 make it through the night, we'll be able to put them both in tomorrow (11:15am).

We have two others that are viable but on a slower growth track (call them "C" students instead of "A+". So they may be available for freezing if they continue to divide normally. We'll know more tomorrow.

Oh, and I finally heard back from the furniture people. They are bringing us a new table and chairs on Tuesday and we can go through and see if this one has less "distressing" on it. But evidently the table and chairs in the showroom have these small holes/distresses in it, too, and we just didn't notice it. So basically we're screwed since we should have inspected the furniture with a fine tooth comb! Just call me naive. Next time I'll know better.

 

[Goofyluver]

Just thinkin' of you and tomorrow!!

I'm backwards cuz I haven't read the update yet (I think there is one I missed...) but I wanted to comment on this

Thanks for the thoughts, prayers and hugs.

Just remember God is watching over you and your little embryos!

Sorry about the furniture. Hope the new furniture looks lots better!

Well, a ray of light happened this evening after dinner. She started to go in her underwear, started crying about it, so we told her she can finish on the potty, so she stopped and went the rest of the way on the potty!!

a small step!!!

any step in the right direction is good!

So our next ride is Pirates. Since my mom and our friend Justin have foot issues, their doctor gave them a special note allowing them to get a Guest Assistance Card in the park. This card allows them to get on a ride in the least obstructive manner. At Pirates, this means going backstage!

While we waited f-o-r-e-v-e-r-, look who sprinted past us!

Group picture!

Finally, they came to let us ride and while we were backstage, my DH takes some pics. We didn't know you weren't allowed to do so and immediately stopped when they told us to...but meantime, here's a special sneak peak backstage at PotC!! I'll keep these up here unless I'm told to take them down.

Nice to know they have a backup evacuation plan

Not too glamous, huh?

At this point we are hungry so we head over to Pecos Bills for lunch. I haven't ever eaten here before but I highly recommend it. The atmosphere is very carribean/mexican. Someone came up to me and saw my LGMH on my bag and came to say hello.

It's Chevynet and WDW4ever

I had posted briefly with them on someone else' TR.

Don't ya want to be here right now?

A quick stop to see the Country Bears and then on to the Haunted Mansion. DD was absolutely fine with this ride!!

So I had the CM from China at the HM sign my book (on the "H" page). She asked if she could write in Chinese and I said 'of course' and then asked for an interpretation (many blessings to your daughter).

And then someone called out to me -- who could it be??

This is MizDiz and her simply adorable little girl! Wow!! I got to meet a famous Disser!!

DH, DD and I getting pics in MK

We decided to have some fun with this pic

I thought putting Goofy on this pic was appropriate!

DD really liked these little Disney statues. She wanted her picture taken with every one of them.


For Donald Duck we told her to watch out, because he bites! Here is the set up -- go ahead, put your hand in his mouth...

Ouch! Hee Hee

She got a real kick out of that and was giggling away

Then it was back to the monorail to Epcot. Sharkey do you or your DH know this guy? He said he's worked the monorails for 25 years and his name is Thurman.

Since the monorail goes through Epcot, I started pointed out the buildings with Test Track, Soarin, Spaceship Earth and Nemo and DD says she wants to ride them all again! Woo Hoo!!! My DD likes the "wilder" rides -- TT/Soarin.

We got lots of compliments on our Mickey shirts and I was so glad I made a shirt with a v-neck and lace -- it not only was prettier than a regular t-shirt but it was a lot cooler, too.

However, by wearing the tie dye Mickey shirt and having the LGMH on my bag, I was getting lots of visibility. Is there anything wrong with that? Not really, except it makes me be on my best behaviour b/c I never know when someone will come up to me to say hello!

You know, we all have those moments where I (start) to lose it -- either with DH or DD or with the kid in Heeleys jumping in line in front of me! So now I feel like I'm "on-stage" a bit (which is probably a good thing to keep my calmer)

We got back late from MK so only napped at 4pm. I tried to reschedule our dinner time for Spoodles but couldn't. Poor DD was so tired that she slept in her car seat and stroller along the way.

Spoodles was good. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there again but I had a very good meal. Everyone in our group got the Red Snapper but I got the pasta with Lemon Garlic Shrimp which was extremely tasty. I let everyone try it and they all agreed that the shrimp dish is the best. They had great bread you could dip in olive oil and wonderful Baklava for dessert.

Then we drove back to Beach Club and went to SAB to go swimming. My parents were going to swim with us but on the boat ride back to BCV they got DREAMED. They won a free Illuminations Cruise and said it was fantastic!

After swimming, we were in bed by 11pm.

wow! Great pics and great DIS meets!!!

That shrimp sounds good and so does the bread! We almost had a meal there last year til I switched it before the trip. I just wasn't sure.

Wow an Illuminations Cruise! Too bad you didn't get to go with!

Almost forgot about "tomorrow's" quiz.

We go to Animal Kingdom.

1) Lunch is CS at Andapour Trading Company and we are there for over one hour...why?
a) Service was super slow and we couldn't find a seat anywhere
b) Food was terrific and we ate every last drop
c) It was a nice relaxing atmosphere

2) DD has her first true Disney Food Experience here -- will become a tradition at AK (or WDW in general) going forward. What is it?

3) DD meets with Minnie Mouse but ends in hysterical tears -- what happened?
a) Minnie tried to give DD a hug and knocked her in the face
b) Minnie left in a hurry
c) Minnie's head came off
d) Minnie tripped and fell

4) I get 3 hours all to myself -- no DH, no DD. What do I do?

Okay I guess you pretty much narrowed it down by saying HOW MANY those who guessed got right. But since you didn't specifically give answers, I'm guessing. These are what my initial reaction was:

1) I wish I could say B & C BUT my answer is going to have to be A

2) a Mickey rice krispy treat!

3) A

4) Either the spa or Shop til you drop! (but I'm leaning towards shopping now )

Looks like I am too late for the quiz. Oh well.

Gotta say I love love love the pic of your DH and you jumping in front of the castle. I may have to borrow that one from you the next time we go

I want to borrow it too!

 

[Trentmom]

I will continue to keep you in my prayers today and tomorrow

 

[cherbear]

Marshay, how'd it go?

 

[Trentmom]

Hey marshay just checking in and hoping all is well

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

I don't wanna say anything because I don't want to jinx you. I hope you're doing okay.

 

[Marshay]

Hey, guys...just a quick update...then back to bedrest.

We had 2 embryos transferred yesterday...their grades were

1BB
2BB

The best is 1AA and the worst they can transfer is 3CC. So we're kind of right in the middle.

We may be able to freeze 3 embyos if they reached the right stage of development today. Otherwise they will be discarded.

I'm feeling fine -- just really nervous.

Now we wait...blood test is July 16th to determine if we are pregnant or not.

[swwake]

I will be thinking about you in this quite possibly longest 2WW you have ever had. We will try to keep you busy thinking DIS thoughts.

 

[kaoden39]

Marshay,

You are in my thoughts today!
