Thank you so much!!!

Well, Jeanette.....do I ever....!
So, I am "coming out" to all of you RC'ers today. Back on Mother's day, DH and I found out that we are expecting!!!![]()
It was very unexpected, needless to say, but we are embracing the idea and going with it, as obviously, it was meant to be....
I am almost 10 weeks now, and honestly the 1st trimester has been horrible, so I am hoping for better times ahead, especially with our trip coming up.
That being said, we have changed to AKL!!! We have an arusha view bunk bed room, which will be perfect for our last trip as a family of four...and we will be able to cross AKL off of our list before we won't be able to stay there anymore.
So, that's that! The Mousemommy crew is growing!![]()
Congrats!!!
At least he can take it again!

As for my fam, DS9 has a broken foot so our summer has been pretty icky so farBut we do have a triple split coming up in July to look forward to.
We are doing 11 nights at AKV/Poly CL/BWI
Can't wait!
Hi to everyone elseBack to reading...

I think AKL is the perfect resort for this trip!!!![]()
Congrats!!!
I should note -- since I am friends with alot of you on FB -- I haven't made it FB "official" yet, I will in a couple of weeks! Our close friends and family know but I haven't geared up to announce it yet. This is my practice run.![]()
That's what I keep telling her, and that he usually fails it the first time and passes it the next time he takes it.
He will pass! He will pass!!
Nothing new to report here. On the girls only trip, we're still planning like we're going. I'm just not going to buy my flight to Atlanta, or MVMCP tickets until he passes. On our next family vacation, I'm still trying to convince the hubby to do a cruise next Summer for our 20th. I'm insisting on a balcony. I have a slight claustrophobic problem and I don't like the idea of being in an inside room with no window. Plus I love the idea of being able to sit on the balcony while the guys get dressed. When we're on vacation, I'm always the first one up and first one dressed.
Hi all.DH and I took a quickie trip to the World last weekend. We went to watch the Triple Crown bid for the horses at Turf Club restaurant. Yep, any ole excuse for WDW works for us.
We only planned it about a month in advance but it was one of our easiest weekends ever. Go figure.
We decided to finally cross CBR off our list. It was one of those "hafta"stays this time as it always seemed so easy to change away from this resort at the last minute. I was determined to keep this ressie. Oh boy, was it a PLEASANT SURPRISE. We did it up right with a
Pirate Room (while in Rome and all that...
). The atmosphere is very relaxed, but I've always thought that of all the Mods. The proximity to quiet pool, bus stop, and our car was one of the most convenient we've every had. We could see our bus stop, the river, and the quiet pool from our windows. Bus service rocked, too, with never more than a 10 minute wait. I'll recommend CBR in a heartbeat. I actually think the Floribbean atmosphere would be the more appealing Mod for non-Floridian visitors. Very pretty. I guess it gets a bad rap because of only offering bus transportation?
At the Parks, FP+ and Bands worked pretty well. We actually got on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train with a short wait!Since FP+ times were long gone by the time we planned our trip, we waited 'til pretty late at night to even attempt to ride and hoped for the best. The posted standby wait time was 85 minutes which we were prepared to do. In actuality, only 35 minutes and we were on. I wonder what any of you guys who have ridden SDMT think of it?
It was a Star Wars weekend at DHS.![]()
It was cute to see the park visitors dressed up. And cute to see the character "meet and greets" around the Park. We aren't into Star Wars,
but we still enjoyed the vibe.
Tomorrow is our FP+ day for August. Getting excited for that now.![]()

He will pass! He will pass!!
Sounds wonderful!!!
That's what I keep telling her, and that he usually fails it the first time and passes it the next time he takes it.
That is amazing news!! I hope the next two trimesters go better than the first.
I'm sorry DS9 has a broken foot. I'm not sure what they do with broken feet. Is it in a hard cast or some kind of walking boot? Will he be able to swim on your trip? I hope it heals quickly.

CANDACE!!! WOW. I am soooo happy for you guys! Do the girls know? What did they say?
And like Jen said, welcome to the 5 people rooms! LOL. You better do another WL stay while little bit is under 2!![]()
Candace -- Congratulations!!! Unexpected blessings are the best! (DD is one!)Will you know boy or girl by the time you get to WDW?
Hope everyone else is well!![]()
If I don't get back to the boards before Monday, have a great Father's Day weekend. This is my fil's first Father's Day without his dad. I suggest to my mil that we get out of town for the weekend. We won't go far, but we're just going to get out of the house and have some fun.
Janet B-Thanks so much!![]()
Thank you. When we had been planning to go to MNSSHP, we had planned on doing costumes that worked together. She was going to be Minnie, and I was going to be Daisy. I actually just got the yarn for the scarves today, so I'm going to start working on them.
[/FONT][/COLOR]
Thank you.
I knew when I woke up between 9:30 and 10:00 AM and hadn't heard from her, it was probably bad news. He failed only the running part by 5 minutes. He can take it again next month, if he fails it he'll have to go to Fit Camp in August. At the end of the camp, he has his last chance to pass it.

Thank you!I am hoping to find out prior to our trip as we will be right in that window, but it all depends on when the MD orders the ultrasound. I have an appointment tomorrow and I am going to tell them that shopping is on my agenda while at Disney and it would be really helpful to know whether to get Minnie Pink or Mickey Blue!!! I'm sure I'll get a big one of these....

Thank you!!! I sure hope I start feeling better soon. It has not been fun!!! Never experienced this with the girls....![]()
The girls know and they are beyond excited!!!! DD7 actually cried - but she said they were "happy tears". They have wanted another sibling forever, but I have just told them that the factory is closed....![]()
They are very happy that it reopened....![]()
Kim, sure it was bitter sweet for your FIL. Hope he was able to reflect on all the wonderful memories of his father's life.![]()
And I don't think I welcomed you back from your marathon road trip! You put some serious miles on that car.was a road trip!! Happy you had a good time.

Oh love the shirts and scarves ideas!!!![]()
Hoping that the second time around is the charm for him![]()
!
Missed you!!! Sorry about your DS Hopefully he will feel better for the trip!
Thank you!!! So nice to "see" you here!!!
Your triple split sounds absolutely amazing!!!
I'm sorry to hear about your son.
We actually started the summer off with injury as well, with DD10 getting a concussion last week. Luckily, it was only a mild one, and while she had to miss her last day of school and softball this past weekend, she seems to be doing fine now.
I'm sorry DS9 has a broken foot. I'm not sure what they do with broken feet. Is it in a hard cast or some kind of walking boot? Will he be able to swim on your trip? I hope it heals quickly.

Mousemommy, just adding another congrats here! As I said in my PM, always happy to share advice regarding the two "big kids" and one "little!" Yes, we are forced into deluxe resorts!And the third child really helps to justify the club level reservation (in terms of both food consumed and the need to have that lounge handy!)
Candace congrats on the baby!!!
