All caught up! I've been slacking with the holiday, sorry!
First of all, congrats on the boy! Sorry Madison wasn't happy. At least she has awhile to get used to the idea. She was lucky to get to go to the ultrasound though! The place where I got my ultrasounds done is the same place where I see my high-risk pregnancy doctor, so they don't let kids in with you. They know that they find things wrong with the baby and they don't want a little kid in there if they do. So she was lucky, I think it's a great experience!
You were really at Epcot bright and early! I love the empty park! And you got a lot done very quickly!
I really like living with the land. It was better with an actual skipper instead of a recording, but it's still cute. It's a good way to pass the time between soarin rides!
It sounds like a quick walk from the international gateway! Cape May looks so cute! I hope to eat there some day. I love the costumes that the characters wear!
Ariel and Erik! What a great meet n' greet! Cindrella and Prince Charming were right inside the international gateway one time when we were coming through it but when we tried to enter the line, the CM said that it was closed. That happened to us a lot. Luckily, my kids are little so they didn't notice!
Can't wait to hear about the rest of your day!
I was a total slacker over the holiday break! There was just so much to do and then with 2 sicknesses (24 hour flu bug on the Tues before Christmas and then pink eye), it was not fun.
I was very happy that both Tony & Madison could be at the ultrasound with me.
The 3 of us plus the ultrasound tech and a trainee made for a very cramped little room! But, my tech gave us tons of photos and we got a dvd too. I actually have another ultrasound scheduled for the end of March. I guess the placenta is lying low right now, but they said there was no reason to be concerned. Phew!
We have NEVER been first at the turnstiles before! We were the 2nd family the day before at MK, but first was even better!!! It was a gorgeous morning too so it was fun just taking everything in.
We typically do get a lot done quickly. With an 8 yr old, we can really fly around the parks!
Our first trip with the baby will definately make us slow down a little bit....maybe.
Now that you mention it, I do remember Living with the Land with a real live person narrating. It was much better that way, but I still enjoy the ride.
The walk to the BC was nice and quick and it's such a beautiful walk. You get a wonderful view of France from there as well. I highly recommend Cape May Cafe for breakfast. I'm sad that I didn't take pics of the actual restaurant because it was decorated so cute!
Meeting Ariel and Eric together was a real treat. We always managed to get into the character lines right before the cut off!!
Aww, I'm sure Madison just needs time to adjust to having a little brother-- maybe it'll be easier for her adjust to not being an only anymore since she'll still be the only princess! One of each is perfect-- I'm sure Tony is thrilled to have a boy to teach baseball to!
The service in the pharmacy was not acceptable! I take a monthly prescrip and have had the same thing happen too many times. Like you said-- for them to pick up the ointment off the shelf and hand it to you would have been simple and not wasted your time! THEN they could have dealt with the other issue!
What a perfect Epcot morning! I love that walk from the IG to YC/BC! We walked it at dusk when we ate at Yachtsman on our last trip-- just beautiful. Can't believe how many Soarin FP's you guys picked up-- I'm glad you were able to ride at least one of your favorites this vacation! Maddie looks so cute in the picture of her and Ariel and Eric-- her top and Ariel's dress match perfectly, lol.
She is doing much better lately and she got to tell her teachers & friends at school today. When my mom spoke to her the other day, she said "I hear you're still going to be my favorite grand-daughter." I think Madison liked hearing that! Tony is crossing his fingers that our little boy will like baseball. He has already mentioned that he would like to coach his little league team!!
The pharmacy incident was so stupid. While they were checking on the things for the lady ahead of me, the pharmacist could have easily just checked off on mine and gotten me on my way. Ridiculous!!!!
It was a fantastic morning at Epcot. The weather was great too. That walk to the BC just made my day too. It made me want to stay at the YC/BC even more than I already did! Someday!!!
I was very happy that I could still ride Soarin'. It's my all-time favorite. I love the pics of Maddie with Ariel & Eric. I only wish there was a photopass person over there.
At least with Maddie, she has told us for a few years now that she wanted a little sister. I can't wait to buy her a Big Sister shirt!!
I am very glad you enjoyed Cape May! That is on our possible list for August! Nat really wants to "Eat with Minnie" on her bday so it is either Cape May or Chef Mickey's - we want to do a breakfast as we are paying OOP. 
LOVE the pic of Maddie with Ariel and Eric! 
, love the Spaceship Earth photo's! I was so sweaty from our trek round worldshowcase in July that our SE photo was just embarrassing!
. Needless to say, all the baby stuff is out of my house!
