[swwake]

Marshay! Congratulations to you!!! (so did you test early?)

I have been where you are before, so I am so happy to hear this news. It is a wonderful thing. Keep us posted. When do you US? We need to know if there's one sac or two

On the Fertility boards, we always did these for BFPs. So here are yours:

Wow! Congratulations!!!!


I have to admit when I saw the I thought how could she be having triplets?

Just thought my blonde moment might make ya laugh

again, A HUGE CONGRATS to you and your DH and your DD who's gonna be a big sister!

 

[Marshay]

Thank you everyone for all your kind thoughts on my TR and esp for the congratulations and prayers for our pregnancy.

Yes, we tested positive for pregnancy yesterday and my HCG count was 641 (nearly twice what my DD's was at 345....hmmm, can you say twins???)

Actually the first HCG count really doesn't imply singleton or multiples. I go back Friday and Monday morning to make sure my HCG count at least doubles each time.

When I had the ectopic pregnancy my HCG count was 111 and never doubled...so I'm already thinking good thoughts with such a high HCG count.

We'll have an ultrasound in about 2 weeks to check # of sacs/heartbeats.

swwake -- I knew I was pregnant b/c I felt the implantation on Satuday. I really only felt one for a long time but then on Sunday and Monday I felt some more cramping but not as long...so not sure what that means. My uterus also just feels harder -- like my body said -- oh, we know what to do -- you're pregnant. And thankfully, I had no spotting. So with all those combined, I was not surprised by the results -- but sure felt much better when they said, "we have some good news for you!"

 

[cherbear]

That's so awesome! I don't know much about that stuff, but that seems like a VERY HIGH count!

I am super far behind here but I saw your news on the other thread and wanted to come over and say YAY!!! Congratulations!!!

If it is twins I have a book to recommend to you~ it was my bible while I was carrying my boys. I'll wait until you know for sure and then let you know the author and all that. I was actually a patient of the author and she helped me to get to 35 weeks and my boys were 6.6 and 5.14 ~ that is not too shabby for preemies, especially twin preemies!

Anyway.... I'm really happy for you!

Sounds great! I should know in about 2-4 weeks whether we have multiples or not. I've heard on the 'net (and we all know that can be trusted ALL THE TIME! ) that some women go to their first u/s and there was only one sac and then when they get their next one -- surprise! another baby...weird, huh?

The previous unidentified picture below is from ...

Columbia Harbor House -- taken from the table section upstairs. When I'm in the mood for fish and chips, I eat here. I think I like the atmosphere better than the food. It just makes me feel like I'm not in an amusement park.

So, while DH puts DD down for a nap, I decided to do some shopping!! I had 3 hours before we had to leave for dinner and I was going to make the most of that. Based on our schedule, this was going to be the only time I'd have by myself to go shopping.

First I went to World of Disney and bought:
- coral Mickey polo shirt for me
- backscratcher with Mickey and friends on it for DD (since she always takes mine)
- scrapbook paper and stickers
- Mickey decals for SUV
- Mickey bag tag
- 2 Mickey throws
- magnet for mom
- jibbitz
- castle plate for mom
- Mickey Mouse plush

Then I saw the Art of Disney store had this awesome castle in it...I oohd and aahd over this but did not get it.

I noticed that Ghiradelli was closed for repairs --- booooooo.

Then it was time to get ready for dinner.

Since we were running late, we "speedwalked" through Epcot. Dinner was in Norway and I thought the quickest way from the Intl Gateway Entrance would be around toward Canada, Mexico, Norway....but everyone else said, no go toward Japan, USA so that's the way we went. We find out later in the trip, that we took the long way around (from the Intl Gateway entrance).

We did stop for some pics along the way:

DD meets Belle!

I meet Belle

And so does DH

Dinner was so-so...I really like the appetizer bar -- shrimp, meat, cheese, fruit but the entrees were just ok. Nothing special at all. It's obvious that the princesses are the main attraction -- not the food.

This was supposed to be some kind of meat -- DH and my parents didn't really care for it

Mine was some kind of meat stew..

Now DD was really, really excited about meeting the princesses -- so much so that she was just bouncing off the walls. We had trouble keeping her still, quiet and she kept undoing the bow on the back of my top. Finally I gave her a time-out in the lobby which helped a bit. But she was definitely hyper this evening.

Jasmine

Alice

After the dinner, my family rode the Maelstrom and then we went on the Mexico boat ride and Spaceship Earth.

Along the way I met another Disser -- Jamstew.

OK -- QUIZ time.

1) Next day is MK and it's hot, hot, hot. Where do we go to cool down?

2) Mrs. Potts Ice Cream has great snack credits!! Any guesses on what kind of sundae (ok, we got 2 of them) we got?

3) It's been 6 days in the World...how many days have I done laundry?
a) None
b) One - Two
c) Three - Four
d) Every day

4) Remember when DD was all upset b/c she didn't get to hug and kiss Minnie? Well, I find Minnie for DD -- and she's in a GREEN dress -- where can you find Minnie in a green dress?

 

[Goofyluver]

Sometimes I get so excited in the parks that I have to give myself a time-out...so I understand. And that pic of DD with Alice...with her little cheek schmooshed against Alice is to DIE for. She really is gorgeous!!!

I was really surprised b/c DD actually wore the crown and clip earrings for the entire dinner!

1/4 correct!

Forgot to post a pic of the castle I was admiring yesterday.

This morning we have our private Poly photopass session. We decided to go with a bold RED color since the Poly would have lots of flowers and colors. Also, I wanted to use a pic for our Christmas card.

I was not impressed by our photographer -- he was not comfortable around young children and didn't really get many foliage/palm tree pics. However, we got enough good ones.

Here are some of my favorites.

And the very best one for last

After leaving the Poly, we decided to get lunch at the MK. Along the way, my DD did some more posing:

We decided to take the ferry boat over to MK, since we had been doing the monorail the other times.

DD got to play a bit before the boat arrived.

We finally ride the tea cups (DD had been asking for that) and we ate at Pinocchio Village Haus and snagged one of those great tables overlooking IASW boats. DD loved it and constantly waved to everyone.

By then DD needed to run around but it was really hot, so we went to Donald's Boat, Pooh's Playground and Ariel's Grotto. None of these had all the fountains turned on, so it was about 5-10 kids fighting over the water. But DD didn't seem to mind.

Here comes the water

DD after getting splashed in the eye

Run Away!!!

While DD played in the water, DH got us snacks -- Strawberry Shortcake and Fudge Brownie Sundaes!! YUMMY.

Then we went back to the room to rest.

There's always a part in our trip where DH "checks out" before it is over. Today was that day.

He's definitely not used to spending so much time with DD and me and he starts to (dare I say!): tire of the parks.

This is also where I start to go into overdrive and realize that there is sooooooo much more to see and we are already 1/2 way through our vaca but I feel like we have so much more to do.

So while I want to do more parks -- get up early and go, go, go ... DH just wants to avoid the parks. I offered to put DD down for a nap so he could go out and do something on his own but instead he falls asleep.

I do laundry. It's so nice to have the W/D right in our room. This is actualy the 3rd time in 6 days that I am doing laundry. Most times I just throw in our clothes before we leave for the day and when we get back then dry them.

We all sleep until 6:10pm and then go to Wolfgang Puck Express for dinner. I had 1/4 chicken and mashed pot which was good but too dry. I asked for gravy and they said they didn't have any but could give me melted butter so I took that.

Then DD played in Once Upon a Toy store and I bought DD a Christmas gift for her -- The Disney Doll with the Minnie outfit. I can't wait to give it to her for Xmas.

I also met 2 CMs and gave them my LGMH and told them all about the DIS.

Finally, before we left DTD, look who I spot at the pin trading tent -- MINNIE!!! Will DD fall for this? Will hugging/kissing the statue of Minnie be a good enough substitute?

Look how proud she is.

QUIZ Time

1. Upon entering ToT first thing in the morning -- what is the wait time?

2. What character is DD determined to meet? We can't leave until she meets this person. HINT: we're at DHS and this character is not really "popular" (i.e., not Minnie or Snow White)

3. How do you enter MK for the P&PP?

4. What famous (non-pirate) character only appears in the P&PP parade?

Well, I sucked.
