New Nurse Hits the World MNSSHP, F&WF, Swolphin: an October PTR

[Beka]

Update time!!!

I booked a massage for our 1st day there for 7pm at the Mandara Spa at the Dolphin. Figured we'd land, get our stuff to the hotel, drop off the bags, head to DTD, eat at EOS, let me burn off the rest of my energy so that we can get massages & I can properly crash on those Heavenly beds

I GOT MICKEY MAIL!!!

I can't believe our tickets came so fast!


I also have family news...

Yup. I'm pregnant! Only about 4 weeks along! This kid is spoiled already, getting to go to WDW before it's even born! Jeez! Let's hope the Disney magic rubs off!

That's all for now! I'm gonna clean up my Carolina room so that I have room to scrap & paint ornaments. It's September, which means I'm late on starting my Halloween & Christmas decorations!

Congrats on your pregnancy!

You will love the beds at the Dolphin. Have you stayed there before? Joe and have stayed there three or four times and the beds are incredible. One bad thing...they are so comfy that you don't want to get up and do the parks.

I've only toured it with Kyle's old college roomie last year. Haven't even been in a room there! The beds sold me.

WOHO for quick arriving tickets!!!

And, oh my gosh, CONGRATS on the exciting news!!!! Yay for a baby!!!

 

[Beka]

I totally bought a Mickey & Donald onesie today from Wal-Mart. Like this kid needs clothes. The likelihood it's a boy is 99%, so if it is, it's all set from Conner.

 

[aprilisis]

WOW! I'm way behind. I'm going to read back & catch up. First, let me say CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy!!!!

 

[njtinkmom]

Just joining in - congrats on the baby!! Great plans so far!

No new news about the trip. Had my 1st OB appointment today. I've had some spotting & cramping lately, so the doc told me to "be the lazy person at work". Not easy, but I'll try! Nausea has been kicking my butt lately too, but I manage to eat more than I did pre-pregnancy . I need to rename the Food & Wine Fest to just Food Fest for me. No new pics either, sorry it's a stinky update!

Ok so not really, when comparing prices. I was checking into a rental car for the day we go to Universal. One way taxi on Mears is approx $36, and a 1 day rental is about $44. Bit of a no-brainer, huh? Since we go to US the day before we fly home I'll probably run the numbers to drop it off at the airport the next day. Lucky me, both National & Alamo rent at the Dolphin!

Sorry I've been so lax on this PTR. I'm so tired! I'm finally off orientation at work. This last week was the week from you know where (must be Universal Studios, cuz it sure ain't Disney!). I found out that my boss doesn't have my back, and will allow our CNAs to walk all over the nurses. She also has strung me along for 2 months, thinking I can switch to a day position instead of nights when a position is available, which one is. When I asked about it she said "I hired you for nights." Well, ok then. Would have been nice if you had told me that I couldn't switch 2 months ago, I would have left you alone then! Ugh. She didn't even ask the other girl who was hired at the same time as me if she could work nights, and she doesn't have a family! I'm talking no boyfriend, no kids, no husband, not even a house plant! Oh well, more money for me! Better to find out how she is now. Just keep my head down & shut up!

So I go on night shift Wednesday night. I've been so wrapped up in work & sleeping that I've not even begun to THINK about what to pack! Totally different story than last year!

Oh, and I think I need to head to Wal-Mart or somewhere to see if they have any shorts on clearance that might fit me. I can already tell a pudge is forming. I mean baby bump. No, no. Given how I've eaten, it's pudge. Ugh. I figure I can eat like a good girl when I can tolerate the thought of food.

Here's Conner's 1st day of preschool, just cuz this PTR needs some pics!

 

[Beka]

I found out this week we'll be staying at the Dolphin!

In other news... I started night shifts. In fact, I'm about to go in to work tonight. I just pray tonight is better than the last few have been.

Yesterday we did the Biggest Loser 5k. I got to high-five Bob! He's super fit. So are the contestants that were there. Wow. It was a great experience. Made me remember how far I've come since I was almost 270lbs!

Starting Line:

Finish Line:

The pic of me high-fiving Bob is on Kyle's phone, so I'll post that when he uploads it.

Later that day we went to the local Greek Festival.

We had lamb gyros (unexciting, I know, but they sounded good!) Sophia, what are those donughts that you love? That begin with an L? We tried those too. OMG, nom nom nom. Greeks are right on with food! Love it!

Just found your PTR, I was looking for others that'll be there the same time we are. I will wave over to the Swolphin area from the BWV!! Congrats on becoming a nurse!

Beka, I think you will love the Dolphin. Joe and I do and we like it better than the Swan. It's so convenient to so much.

Did you have Loukoumathes? I'm so jealous! YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about your manager not letting you move to days. That really sucks, especially because she didn't say anything sooner.

Yes, lookatmouthes. They were delish!

I was just upset when I realized that I hadn't even been told that was the position they wanted me in until AFTER I was in it. I didn't get a chance to make a choice if I wanted it or not!

I'm just gonna be glad to be at WDW!

 

[Beka]

Right now, in 1 week, I'll be getting a massage on WDW property!

But I need help.

I'm too tired to be excited! This is HORRIBLE!

I also am at a total loss as to what to pack! I know I need my camera, but Kyle offered to do any shopping we need done for the trip, & I can't think of a thing besides neck pillows so I can sleep on the plane! (You can see where my priorities lie right now!)

I've not even finished making my trip book (ya know ya'll have em too, all those little tips you pick up here on the DIS, bound in a notebook). We used it a LOT last year, and I fear I'd be lost without it this year!

Ok so that's all for now. Mom & Dad will be here Saturday or Sunday. I work Friday night, & then Mon, Tues, Wed night! I'm sleepy already!
