Over the river and through the FUN!

There are a lot of nice people out there. That was so thoughtful of the lady to gives those dresses to little girls who would use them. My daughter would have been like the little girl who said they were too itchy. My children like their clothes to be itch-free. But, they get it from me so I can't complain about it.

Look like you will finish just in time for another trip again. Good planning!
 
Here is a picture from my shower last night. There are 4 of us pregnant and we wanted to take a picture before we start losing our bellies. We figure we will put it in their senior slide show in 18 years. We are in due date order - 4/11, 5/3, 5/12, and 8/29.

We had a ton of fun and Brooklynn was too cute opening all the presents for HER Bellarie. Only 3 weeks to go! I've already told Isabella she has to wait until her MeMom gets back from Disney World before she is allowed to make her appearance.

Bellarie's room is clean and ready minus the crib bumper and dust ruffle that John's mom is bringing this weekend. The rest of the house is pretty much a wreck, but I am just taking it a room at a time. It will be a busy week this week with company the in-laws arriving Friday so MeMom's live reports will be a little brightness in my day. Hope everyone had/has a great Monday!
 
It was so nice to meet you guys.. Brooklynn looked so cute in her little rainbow bright belle dress. I remember that we also rode PP and I think Winnie the pooh..
Right after you guys left we got hit with the worst weather. They had forecasted tornados in winter park. Joe and I retreated to the Polynesian and went to Kona Cafe for lunch.

Oooh, how sweet!! That is an adorable picture!!

My two best friends (they are twins! How cool is that!) are both pregnant. Its funny with them being sisters, they are only 3 weeks apart in having their babies! Audrey is having a boy and Pam is having a girl!
 
Jill,

That is such a neat picture. Isabella will have lots of friends to grow up with. Do the other ladies know what they are having? I hope the next 3 week go well for you and I hope Memom is home when the baby comes.
 
Jill you look fantastic! Do rest and enjoy your last few weeks!

MeMom- so being a visual learner and planner, what is the schedule for your days this week at WDW? That way I can think MeMom might be doing .....

Enjoyed the update and will love to be along for the next report!

What a sweet lady to share her daughter's princess dresses! it really bothers me when people say there are no good people in the world -- look at that lady! That looks an awesome morning morning with such a fun Dismeet thrown in!

I hope the cough realizes it's getting the what for and leaves in the next 24 hours.

Jill, you are still looking awesome! Can't wait to meet little Bellarie!
 
So sad that your trip is over but at least you got to start your morning with Disney magic, not only being at the MK but from that nice lady who gave Brooklynn the Belle dress. :wizard: She of course looks adorable! :cutie:

Jill, I love your pregnant ladies picture! Too cute!:goodvibes
 
I feel so honored to be in MeMom and Jill's TR!!! A mention and a picture!

I have one to add. One with a MeMom!

DSC00397.JPG


I have to add that I was unsure about what MeMom looked like due to the extreme lack of pictures of herself in her TRs! The constantly working camera tipped me off though!


Oh my gosh!!! MeMom!!! You and Jill look like sisters!!!!!
 
Great updates! Brooklynn looks so cute in her Belle dress.

Jill you look fantastic, can't believe your due date is so soon!
 
Jill,

In due date order - girl/Isabella Marie, boy/Jaxon Avery, girl/CallieMae Cole, and our August baby is an unknown until the middle of April.
 
Great ending to a great report. Brooklynn was a wonderful Belle.

Have a great time at Disney World, and I look forward to your next report.
 
Thats some nice disney magic!! Brookyln looks WAY TO DARN cute in her "new" belle dress.

I hope we can do the same for some other little girls someday if there's something ours don't particularly want or need or are just finished with.



Awww, how sweet of that nice lady to give Brooklynn the Belle dress. I just love that random magic that only happens at Disney.

You will have a fabulous trip and you will be excited once you get there and you are immersed in everything Disney.

Disney magic is a real thing. I wish we could spread more of it out here in the real world. It would be a happier place.

I know I will love it once I get there. I'm just still bummed that my money situation didn't get straightened out before I left, and I will miss my girlies.



Too cute! and very nice of that lady as well. Was she the Fairy God Mother in disguise?

She was a lot younger than the Fairy Godmother, but maybe she was the Fairy Godmother's daughter!

The itchiness hasn't bothered Brooklynn at all, as far as I know.

We seem to always stretch reports out and then speed up right before the next one. I like stretching them out, because it lets us enjoy the trips for a longer time, but I always want them finished before we go again.

She better mind you, too!

It's good to know that the room is ready, except for those crib things. You know the ones I'm talking about??? :)

I forgot about Peter Pan. Did we ride Pooh, too? I get some of these trips mixed up.

Polynesian and Kona sounds like a good place to be. We haven't eaten at Kona, but I have pretty much heard only good reviews.

I know. The weather was getting bad as we left the Orlando area.



Oooh, how sweet!! That is an adorable picture!!

My two best friends (they are twins! How cool is that!) are both pregnant. Its funny with them being sisters, they are only 3 weeks apart in having their babies! Audrey is having a boy and Pam is having a girl!

My mother and her sister were in the hospital on the same night. One delivered her first baby before midnight and the other delivered her last baby after midnight. Kind of interesting to have two daughters give birth within hours - neither one induced.



Jill,

That is such a neat picture. Isabella will have lots of friends to grow up with. Do the other ladies know what they are having? I hope the next 3 week go well for you and I hope Memom is home when the baby comes.

Jill can give you facts. She told me earlier. One doesn't know yet, and I think of the other two, she said one was a boy and one was a girl, but that may not be right.


Jill you look fantastic! Do rest and enjoy your last few weeks!

MeMom- so being a visual learner and planner, what is the schedule for your days this week at WDW? That way I can think MeMom might be doing .....

Enjoyed the update and will love to be along for the next report!

If we go according to plans, we will be in Hollywood Studios Wednesday, Animal Kingdom Thursday, Epcot Friday, Magic Kingdom Saturday, and whatever park Kay wants to repeat on Sunday for a little while.

You can be pretty safe to say, "MeMom might be taking pictures." ;)

Jill, you are still looking awesome! Can't wait to meet little Bellarie!

That was sweet of her. I know for a fact she made one little girl very happy!

Jill was just making fun of me on the phone because I had to hold the phone away and have a coughing fit. I'm going to have plenty of cough stuff for the plane so that I don't freak out the other passengers.

snowbell was so cute - personality plus and a sweet smile.

Jill, I love your pregnant ladies picture! Too cute!:goodvibes

It was a beautiful morning in the Magic Kingdom, and I soaked up every minute of magic I could before we left.



Oh my gosh!!! MeMom!!! You and Jill look like sisters!!!!!

She's the pretty one.
I'm the smart one. :laughing:


Here are a few of my pictures from that morning as well.

Let's not get carried away with this Revealed MeMom thing!

I wasn't aware we turned into red-eyed zombies when we went through Peter Pan, but now I know!


Great updates! Brooklynn looks so cute in her Belle dress.

Jill you look fantastic, can't believe your due date is so soon!

Before you know it, that sweet baby will leave the peaceful, quiet little home she now has and will enter a world of chaos...

and fun!

***************************

On the way to the front of the park, Jill stopped to try to find a baby blanket she had seen a few days earlier. Unfortunately, they were sold out, and even with the help of some CM's, they were not able to locate any for her. Jill was disappointed, but a valuable lesson when it comes to Disney things is to go ahead and buy it or do it, because it may disappear soon!

A few last pictures from Tinkerbell's Treasures.

This is the little cup we got for holding Brooklynn's Polynesian sand.

063.jpg


I know that's not its original purpose, but we improvised.

A castle show was just ending.

064.jpg


065.jpg

Because it was blocked off for the show, I had to take a detour that led me past this wonderful place.

072.jpg


These were the displays.

070.jpg


I bought one funnel cake.
Yum.

Some of the beauty of Magic Kingdom.

073.jpg


This is one of the nicest memories I have of this trip - just standing watching and listening to this show.

074.jpg


075.jpg


We had had a great time. The weather had been beautiful. The Christmas decorations really got us in the holiday spirit. I knew that at that same time the next day, I would be back at school and life would be 'plain' again. I wanted to put all the decorations and music and smells and just everything in my suitcase and take it home with me!

Well, not the dancers. I'm too claustrophobic to even think about putting them in suitcases! :laughing:

Brooklynn and I had our sad faces on. She was saying, "My Magic Kingdom!"
I was saying it, too, but I since I'm a little older than two, I said it inside.
Jill acknowledged that we were all thinking the same thing, so we didn't try to stop Brooklynn's woeful cries. She was speaking for all of us.

Goodbye, Main Street.

076.jpg



Goodbye, pretty balloons.

077.jpg


This was our bus on the way back to Music.

079.jpg


We were the only ones that had to go home, and everyone else in the whole World was getting to stay and play!
 
Hi Memom! I've been lurking along and reading your report all along an enjoying reading about your experiences with your family. Just had to say you look wonderful in the pic and should show your face more in your trippies. Jill...you look exactly like mom! Hope you have a wonderful trip to POP. BTW, is there a preference in room/locations for this hotel. Just curious. Brooklynn will be waiting for her big/small presents from you...so adorable! Have a great time! :goodvibes
 
On the way back to the resort, we saw something going on on a Disney bus.

081.jpg


082.jpg


083.jpg


There were paramedics in the back of the bus. We hoped no one was seriously ill or hurt, and that whatever was happening would have a good outcome for all involved.

Back at the room, Brooklynn had a snack,

085.jpg


086.jpg


while I took pictures of carpets and bedspreads.

084.jpg


088.jpg


Although Brooklynn had cried her way out of Magic Kingdom, she knew she would return many times, so she was a happy girl again.

090.jpg


I kept snapping as we left.

One last All Star sign.

091.jpg


One last Disney bus.

092.jpg



Then the sign that makes it official.

093.jpg


094.jpg


After that, the camera was tucked away, and the long journey home began. We ended up being in bumper to bumper traffic for hours. Brooklynn threw up twice, so we had to stop for clean up and clothes changing. We got to Alabama close to two, and I had to leave there at five to drive back to Nashville for school. We were wiped out, but it was all worth it!

I can't adequately describe the feelings I have when I am in Disney World with my family. If you 'get it', then you know what I mean and what I feel without words. There is just something so special about being there with them - seeing them laugh and play and eat and joke around together...and make fun of good old mom. There is something wondrous in Brooklynn's eyes when she sees her Disney friends. There is just that special something that just overcomes us when we are there, and I hope that feeling never goes away for us.

I'll let Jill close it out, and then tomorrow, I hope you'll all still hang around with us, only at a different 'home'. I'll try to take enough pictures this week to last us all until our next trips. If you have a request, make it, and I'll do what I can to get it for you.

Thanks for your friendship, and thanks for sharing this trip with us!
 
Thanks a bunch for taking some pics for Lexi of her beloved Pokemon, you are the kindest person to do that for her. ;)

She has become quite the lurker here on the DIS. :laughing: She doesn't read very much but she does enjoy everyone's pics. :)

BrooklynnsMommy What a cool idea to have a diaper shower, you can never have too many of those.
The pic of all the "mommies to be" is too cute.
It must be a good feeling to be all ready and everything is all set up.
We just have to hope that Isabella can wait for MeMom's return. :cloud9:

Memom you were a busy bee this weekend. Sounds like you got alot done. :thumbsup2

On your last day it was truely magical....when Brooklynn was given the Belle dress. (I think there's a connection between the Belle gown & Bellarie :lovestruc )
What a thoughtful and selfless thing for that stranger to do. She made two little girls and thier mom's very happy that day. :goodvibes
Those dresses can be itchy, I had to buy a tee for Lexi to put under hers at Epcot. She wanted that dress off, and I wanted it to stay on a little bit longer. :rolleyes1

ONLY 2 MORE SLEEPS !!! :mickeyjum :donald: :goofy:
 
That is so sweet of that lady to give the dress to Brooklynn! She's so cute holding her little Ariel. :cutie:

I'm on spring break this week as well, and will be thinking of you in the World!
 
You must have been posting as I was. ;)

I was just thinking to myself today that nobody "gets" my feelings for Disney. I get teased all the time for going back year after year. I try to explain it to people but they just stare blankly at me. I know they don't understand.

Here on the DIS I feel so happy because we all "get" it.

We all have the same feelings.
We all get excitted about trips even if they aren't our own.
We all share tears when the trips come to an end.
We never get tired of seeing the same rides, signs, resorts, characters, flowers....you fill in the rest. :rotfl:

I have found some really special people here and I take so much comfort in that. I never have to explain myself.

So MeMom I know exactly how you feel. :hug:

Have a wonderful trip and I will see you in the new TR. I can't wait to meet Kay or is she camera shy too? :goodvibes
