Ok...I know I pretty much missed your entire TR (I'm terrible, I know! ) but I wanted to send along my congratulations to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will definitely be on board for your PTR!
I haven't been to WDW pregnant but I have been to DL pregnant. I was 32 weeks along (had to beg my Dr to go since I was right there where they don't want you to travel) and we went Christmas Week 2006 when you have the high crowds (park closures) and we did have some of the heat (no humidity) issues. The biggest advice I can give is to take breaks, drink lots of water, and nap when you need too. It is hard to leave the parks when you just want to go, go, go but once you've gotten the rest you need it makes for a lot more enjoyable trip.
I just sat and read your whole trip report today. I've been to Disney while pregnant twice before (it will be 3 times when I board that plane in 4 and a half weeks!). My husband and I took our oldest daughter to Disney in October 08 as a last hurrah for her being the only child. My whole family went when I was about 20 weeks pregnant in November of 08 for Thanksgiving and I will be almost 29 weeks pregnant when I board the plane in June to head down again. I'm a little concerned about the heat this time around, but other than that everything has been very doable the first two times so I have no real concerns.
Thanks for reading! Your TRs really helped when I was planning my first trip with Everett! Its always good to hear from an expert at doing Disney pregnant, and I'm glad to hear that you had such a wonderful time. I hope you guys have an awesome trip in a few weeks!
Congratulations!!! As soon as I saw the updated title bar, I said to myself, "I bet she's pregnant!" How exciting for the three of you to add to your family. Bummer about DH being gone, but at least it will not be for very long. I want to say I was a little further along than you will be when I took my pregnancy trip, and it was really the heat that did me in. So hopefully the heat will have receded some so you will be more comfortable. I'm very excited for you, and ready to follow along with your PTR when it's up!
I'm betting its going to be really hot, so my plan for now is to take pool breaks every afternoon. We're going to mostly stick with the MK and Epcot, and being at the Contemporary will make it really convenient. I survived being pregnant for a Washington DC summer (which are brutal) and I lived in Florida for years, so I keep telling myself its not going to be that bad.

No problem, I was pretty much finished with this TR before you even started yours. Thanks for joining in though, and I plan on getting the PTR started today.

Thanks for the advice, yeah, I never want to leave the parks, but I have to remember that its not just for my own good! We're going to be there for a week, so I'll still get plenty of park time!
I went to WDW when I was about 23 weeks pregnant and it was a lot of fun. I missed going on the big rides with DH but there's still plenty to do. And since you've been doing ride swap with Everett, you're used to having to sit out from time to time. That was actually the trip where we were on the DXDDP so I had lots of yummy meals in AC'd restaurants to look forward to. To keep myself busy while DH went on rides, I went around and had the characters sign a book for DS. So he now has photo albums from each of his trips plus the scrapbook I made for him that had all the character signatures and messages to him.
So happy for you guys, life works out in magical ways!!
