Strollering Along At The World (Finally!)- A PTR (Feb '12)*TR Started 2/12*

I'm here finally Carla! I can't wait to hear about POFQ!!! Although Dave said the other day if I get PG this cycle we won't be going as I will be about 8 months PG, I'm certainly not holding my breath though.
Love the 12 month of pictures montage! His birthday cake was adorable!
Can't wait to hear about your trip!

Yay Hi Tink!!! So glad you found me :goodvibes I don't blame Dave one bit about that but unfortunately you can't plan life around something that hasn't happened yet. So just keep planning with the hopes that you will have to cancel. I went to WDW at about 16 weeks along with Alex and I was miserable the entire time.

Thank you! :goodvibes

I can't wait to take the trip and tell you all about it! :yay: I can't believe it's already less than 3 weeks away :scared1:
 
WOW...18 days! I am so excited for you! Alex is getting so big and what a fun Christmas it was for him. I so love the new stroller and the shoes...funny the things we obsess about for WDW!

Thank you! Yes he is and it definitely was. He had so much fun opening his gifts and seeing all the new fun toys. Thank you! It is funny, isn't it? :rolleyes:

We got to try out the new stroller on Sunday at Target and Alex did wonderfully in it! He just sat and relaxed in it while we pushed him around. No fussing or trying to coax us to pick him up at all! It was like he was a totally different kid! I hope that he likes it just as much at WDW. And I really enjoyed pushing it around. The handle is higher than our other stroller so it's more comfortable and I didn't wind up kicking it at all while walking. It's also very easy to get through a tight space unlike the other stroller. It's going to be perfect for our trip! :goodvibes I'm just so glad it was money well spent!

OK, I totally need to check this baby out! :worship: Glad it looks like it's going to work out for y'all! Yay!

Yes you definitely do! The infant seat that goes with it is apparently a bit smaller than the normal infant car seat is. The reviews say it's easier to fit into a smaller car and is lighter to carry around. We are seriously considering selling our current travel system and going with this Britax one for when the new baby comes along whenever that may be. I'm sure your BRU has one of these out on display. I highly recommend taking it out on a test drive. :goodvibes

Oh I am pleased to hear that!!


Your trip is getting so close!!
 
Thanks!

Yeah!! 17 more days! Can't believe we're 2 weeks and 2 days out! :banana::banana:

You're getting close too!


Wow!! Under two weeks for you!! I cannot imagine how excited you are to be taking Alex on his first trip to WDW!!

Under 3 weeks actually. Will be two weeks from this Friday. And yes we are VERY excited!! It's very surreal that we're finally able to go to our happy place as a family. :goodvibes
 
I am so jealous of how close to your trip you are!!! I can't wait to read all about it :goodvibes

So happy to hear about Alex's trip out in the new stroller, and what a success it was! That's so fantastic. Those travel systems looked terrible to me, so it definitely looks like you found a winner with the Britax.

:rotfl: Can you tell my mind is elsewhere? Okay, I am just trying to hurry your trip along for you, because then that means my trip will be sooner.

Aww well yours will be here before you know it! And that baby too! I hope that once I come back I'll be reading on your PTR about baby girl's arrival since you're due while I'm gone :goodvibes

Thanks! I was definitely very pleased with how well he seems to like it. And yeah, those travel systems just aren't all that they're cracked up to be. BRU just makes it seem like that is what you have to have! I don't remember if you said or not on your PTR but did you wind up getting a travel system or separate carrier and stroller?

:lmao: I wouldn't mind my trip getting here sooner! But yeah as I'm getting back from my trip you'll be leaving for yours :woohoo:

I know. Doesn't it got Marshay, you, then lovebuzzandwoody, then me? Or is lovebuzzandwoody go after me? Of course I am the only one going to DLR.:rolleyes1

Nicole goes the weekend after you get back I believe.
 
I even look at the wait times on rides when I am not at the parks. Dorky I know.


I have never taken a baby or a toddler. I waited until Loren was about 5 to go.

That's not dorky. I do the same thing :)

I do the exact same thing....when I am bored :rotfl2:

It also gives you an idea of what it is like during different months

I was looking at it the week of Christmas and WOW...I will never go that week :laughing:

Guilty as well! Owen and I do this all the time! :rotfl:

Annnnd apparently I'm the only one who doesn't! But it's only b/c I don't even have any apps like that.

But I need to stay away from stuff like that because I will be sad that I haven't been in so long! LOL I'll try to refrain until we get closer to a possible trip (which won't be until our child is a year old)

I'm here finally Carla! I can't wait to hear about POFQ!!! Although Dave said the other day if I get PG this cycle we won't be going as I will be about 8 months PG, I'm certainly not holding my breath though.

so glad it is working out so well!
 
I'm going to have a nostalgia moment for my 10,000th post since I don't have any huge news to share or anything. Since this PTR is all about Alex and we're celebrating his birthday there I thought I'd share some pregnancy photos and ultrasounds and infant photos

Alex in Utero

These are the only pictures I have of us when we went to WDW when I was about 16 weeks along with Alex and you can't even tell because I'm sitting down each time. I just look really fat! And thrilled :rolleyes:
