The Official New Mom Thread Part 2

[Ginamarie]

Florida Fam- I’m sorry about the spilled coke! My little BIL did the same thing with a Sprite right after we moved into our new house. My DH was just letting him leave the soda can open on the carpet while they were playing. I wanted to kill him! Luckily, I borrowed my friend’s carpet cleaning machine, the kind that pulls up the stains. Maybe you could rent one of them?

SL- I hope your migraine clears up.

Alice- What a bummer about the WL pool!

DisKim- Coldwater Creek had some gorgeous holiday dresses. I wouldn’t be surprised if they all sold out at that discount! I love the first one you picked. Of course the one I really wanted isn’t available in my size anymore, but I’m checking out the site now (You shopping pusher!!)

Tykes- your NY plans sound like so much fun. I’m way too much of a wimp to do the bikini wax!

Bengalbelle- Sorry I’m not any help with the milk allergy. I know my brother had one, along with a lot of other allergies when he was a baby, and he outgrew most of them over time. I was too little to remember much of it though.


Good news everyone—we ALMOST got a full night of sleep last night. Olivia went to bed around 7 pm, and I tried rustling her up a little around 9:30. Then she played with DH, put on her pajamas and nursed and slept in her crib again! She nursed a couple of times, but slept in between her nursing periods, and I got some good rest. Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come (better to be optimistic I think).

I was glad to hear about Saddam, but between that and President Ford’s funeral stuff, DH is getting killed at work. His one day off was supposed to be tomorrow, but he said it looks like he’ll have to work after all. At least he should be home before midnight though.

Oh, my siblings went to see HS Musical last night at the Nassau Coliseum. DSis called this morning and said that they really loved it. So I don’t remember if anyone else got tickets, but it sounds like it’s a cute show.

 

[DisKim]

bengalbelle - I haven't had experience having a child with a milk allergy but DisPhd has. I'm sure when she sees your post she'll give you plenty of advice.

GM - Welcome to the dark side . Have fun shopping ! I called MIL and told her about that sale too. I figured she could get dresses for the wedding and shower.

FF - Those shuffles are great. It was one of my kids' favorite presents.

I just took Alex to karate. They kids are so darn cute. He and another boy were sparring and they looked so funny with all their gear on. Their instructor instructs with her baby on her hip. It cracks me up. The baby is happy as a lark watching all the chaos.

Good afternoon Moms!

DisKim and DisneyPhD - Congrats on the CC deals!! I went and checked them out last night as well as Talbot's sale, but I didn't end up purchasing anything. I figured the money I spent on glasses were enough for one day.

SL - Glad to hear the the migraine is almost gone!

Tamie - Good luck with the bikini wax if you end up getting one! I like Bellacam's idea of having a martini in advance!

bengalbelle - My niece had a milk intolerance, but it wasn't diagnosed until she was a toddler. I hope that everything is ok with your little one.

Val - How are you feeling today?

Ginamarie - That is wonderful that Olivia slept for you last night! I hope that she keeps it up!

Justhat - Enjoy your company! I hope that you all have a great time together!

Robin - Does SOG have an overflow rate for the time you are there? Perhaps you can switch hotels and get the overflow rate so it won't be so much $ for your parents? I know how you feel about the WL lodge though as it is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, the only way for us to stay there anymore is to get two rooms.

Nucpharm - I hope that you are having a great trip visiting family!

Lissawynn - It sounds like you had a very productive day yesterday. I hope that the contractor comes in and fixes the faucet for you asap!

Bellacam - How is Bailey doing?

Hi to all the moms! I wonder what J&D is doing at WDW now?


Well, I better run! My new office furniture came in a few weeks back and I have yet to set up the new office. My dh is moving my printers and various computer equipment at the moment so I better go help him set everything up. Everyone have a great afternoon!

 

[Alice28]

Jill- for the longest time SOG wasn't booked up for that time period, so I could not ask for an overflow rate when they still had rooms available. I just looked again at their website, and now they're booked, so I submitted a request for rates at WL, YCBC & Poly. If it's a total bargain, I guess we will go with that, although I was looking forward to the dining plan. But now that there are changes a comin with the dining plan on the 1st, it would be as cost effective anymore anyways.

Have fun setting up your new furniture!

SL- Yes, imitrex comes in pill form, and I think there used to be also a nasal spray form of it that intrigued me. I used to take Maxalt pills, and they didn't kill the migraine as effectively as the shot. 90% of the time I have DH give me the shot as I'm chicken, but when it's really bad and he's not home, I have done it.

Tamie- have fun at the fish house with your DH!

BengalBelle- I haven't dealt with lactose intolerance with my kiddoes either, but hopefully PhD will see your post soon and give her .02 on the topic.

GM- I hope Olivia keeps it up with the good sleeping!

Kim- the karate classes sound funny!

Well, I need to clean the boy's room. It needs some serious attention. No other plans for today....tomorrow we get to go to the mall to spend DH's Williams Sonoma card- I am hoping he will pick out fun marinades and snacky stuff. Then we need to stop at the store for NYE items....our neighbors are coming over for an hour or two just to nosh and catch up....I know they won't stay too long as the baby isn't even a month old yet, but their 2+ year old will have fun playing with Sam, Josh and Molly.

 

[zalansky]

Hi moms!

Bengalbelle - my son had a milk allergy when he was a baby. He was on formula though so we just switched him to a lactose free formula (Nutramigin) and he was fine. His symptoms were fussiness at first but he started spitting up alot which lead to full blown vomiting when he got a little older. We had to keep him on formula until he was 18 months old because of it, but thankfully he grew out of it and has no issues with milk at all anymore.

GM - congrats on the good nights sleep last night! That is good news and I hope it keeps up!

Diskim & Disphd - congrats on the CC bargains! I don't need anything really, so I refrained.

And good thing I did - Connor's party today cost us $490.00.
It was a TON of fun, but we won't be having a party like that again for a loonnngggg time, when he is older and maybe we are richer. I am still .

I am exhausted but wanted to pop on and say hello to everyone. Have a good evening all....

 

[floridafam]

Afternoon, mommies.

Took the kids for lunch today on the beach and then did some returns.

Pier 1 is having a nice sale so we bought 2 rugs for 50% off.

I stocked up today at the Bath and Body Works sale online and got a few things for 75% off.

Also picked up 3 of the $29 refurbished ipod shuffles so I guess I'm done shopping for the day.


jill,

Have fun setting up your new furniture. I remember it being really nice when you posted the picture.

Robin,

Keep us posted on your WDW plans. My parents are now coming for spring break. I think my mom broke her toe so she isn't going to be up to traveling next weekend. I have to change all of the flight plans and hotel plans later today.

That would be great if you could get an overflow rate. FYI-we stayed at the YC once on a whim and LOVED IT!!!!

 

[floridafam]

bengalbelle,

I forgot to mention that Kona had symptoms of a lactose allergy so we switched her to Enfamil Lactose Free Lipil and she drank that until she started on milk. Yes, we started her on milk because we were never realy sure of the allergy and she did just fine.

Good luck

Hi Everyone,

Well, the office set up has temporarily stalled which is no big deal. The lateral filing cabinet that I got doesn't work (the bottom drawer is stuck)and I am kicking myself for not checking it out when it was delivered. Thankfully, customer service was awesome and someone is coming out on the 8th to try to fix it or they will replace it. Whew! My dad is building me bookshelves too so I will have someplace to store my loads of books that I own. I really can't wait to get that office together before my semester starts.

Robin - I'm with FF on trying out the YC! The pool alone is amazing! My kids just wanted to go to the pool instead of the parks. BC would be great too since they share the same pool. I hope that everything works out with the SOG overflow for you. The rates are ok, not as great as they were in the past but it is better than rack rate. Let us know what SOG says.

Z - Wow! Kids parties sure are expensive! I would love to see pictures though and I bet that Connor had a blast.

FF - You got some great deals today!!! I wonder if there are any Ipods left? I would love to get one for myself. I also need to check out B&BW. I love the Vanilla Bean Noel that Val sent me in our SS exchange.


Well, I better go and figure out dinner! Everyone have a great evening!

 

[Alice28]

Now I'm so anxious to hear back from Shades, but it won't be til Tuesday at the earliest, and now I'm not sure they are even open that day with the Nat'l Day of Mourning and all.

I told DH which resorts I asked for overflow on, and he looked at me funny when I said YC/BC. He said he would really prefer to be near the MK this trip. I tend to agree, but the pool at the YC/BC is so tempting, as is being able to WALK to Epcot AND MGM. Then again, almost all of our ADRs are at MK resorts or at MK. Makes more sense to stay at WL or Poly. We shall see if they even have anything anymore.

Z- Whoa! $490! Where did you have his party again? Was it one of those inflatable places?

 

[DisneyPhD]

All the coke spills is making me think when we got a new mini van right after Lily was born. We were picking it up and had been sitting in it for all of 2 min checking everything out when my DH pulls the handle to release the tray, I put my can of coke on a min before. Coke all over our new car, we hadn't even signed the papers yet.

Baby with food allergies to milk. That would be Lily. I am a pro breast feeding, can't stand formula person so Lily's only direct exposure to milk was 2 oz in the hospital after she was born (When I told them not to, but they didn't listen.) It wasn't until 8 months later when she had her 2nd contact. Formula mixed with rice cereal. She spit it up all over with in a min of eating (or less.) After that she would get a rash around her face with even indirect contact with milk or very small amounts (a cracker.) She was tested at 12 months and that is when we found the egg allergy. She didn't seem to react to me eating it until her 2nd encounter with it. The other side effect that we can't be sure off, but appear connected were she had a hard time sleeping and stopped gaining weight. We changed our lives to get both her and I on a %100 dairy free (and egg) diet. It wasn't easy but it was worth it. Official she has grown out of it, but we still limit it. Lily does love Pizza and yogurt though. She still doesn't drink milk (soy instead.)

I myself am lactose intolerant, but that didn't start until college or so (when was easting pizza and mac and cheese for dinner all the time.) Lactose intolerance is worlds easy to deal with then food allergies. Lactose intolerance is a digestive problem, allergies effect the whole body. I still eat cheese and such, but take pills for it. Pro-biotic (the cultures in yogurt) help a lot too. They have the in chewable, powder and pill form. Powder for babies works well. There is so much info out there on it. I swear I spend most of last year researching it. If you have any questions ask.

What type of issues is you child having?

Speaking of waxing I got my elbows and arms waxed today (for Florida.) I get my eyebrows every month or so but I like to get my super hairy arms every once in a while (mostly in the summer time.) Because the hair is fine on them and never been shaved it isn't painful and is rather easy. Legs kill. I don't even want to think about binki area. My arms are so smooth now.

My SIL says there is an formal night so the dress will have a reason. Now I have just have to convince DH about how much I saved, not spent.

Hope everyone is having a good day (and night now.)

Robin, I love Y&B. It is our very favorite place to stay. Walking distance to Epcot and boat to MGM, plus boardwalk right close by. We can't wait to get there (and having beach and cream close is a plus too!) I also just adore the theming.

 

[zalansky]

Robin - yes, his party was at inflatable place called Pump It Up. If you have your party on a weekend they require that you have a "premium" party which is $265 but then we ordered 5 extra pizzas for parents (which were $15 a piece and we ended up with far too much pizza) and 5 bottles of soda at $2.50 a pop...and $10 for balloons...and oh yes, $2.95 per child (20 kids, 4 of which were a no show) for pizza and soda. Then, we tipped the attendants $30 for helping with the party. It was far more than we wanted to spend but everyone had a great time and I live and learn.
I hope that you get your first choice of hotels for the overflow rate. Can't wait to see what comes through for you!

 

[bengalbelle]

What type of issues is you child having?

Well, let me give you the backstory. We started out BFing, but I didn't have enough volume for her and she had a short frenulum which made it difficult for her to BF. We started supplementing, but with her hospitalization and all of our other problems we ended up switching to formula. I noticed the more formula she took the worse her symptoms got.

She was on Enfamil AR (because of the reflux) but she continued to vomit a lot, and cried and arched her back after feedings, so our Dr. recommended we switch to Alimentum. We noticed significant improvement right away, but she also started new reflux meds at the same time so I can't say for sure it was the formula.

A few weeks ago her pediatric gastroenterologist suggested we try to switch her from Alimentum to Similac because she didn't believe she had a milk allergy. She takes 4 oz., so we started out 1 oz. Similac to 3 oz. Alimentum. She tolerated it well until I tried 3 oz. Similac to 1 oz. Alimentum. Then she started getting extremely fussy after feedings, waking up from naps crying after only 10-20 minutes (had been sleeping from 1-3 hours), having loose stools and a few red bumps on her face near her eye.

I tried to look up the symptoms on the Internet, but I'm just not finding the info. I'm looking for. For now I'm going back to half and half on the formula until I talk to the dr next week. I don't want to "undo" everything if it's something besides the formula, but it's also not worth the discomfort to her if she really is having a reaction to the milk.

FWIW, my son had to drink Alimentum too. We were able to switch him to regular Similac around 10 months, but when we switched to cow's milk at 1 year he started having problems again. We switched to Lactaid for a year or so, and he tolerated it really well. He drinks 2% milk now with no problems.

I hope that you get your first choice of hotels for the overflow rate. Can't wait to see what comes through for you!

We have a few of the inflatable places around here and 90% of the birthday parties we're invited to are held there now. It's an easy party for the parents and the kids have a blast. A bonus for the other parents is that they're usually worn out after all that jumping . Well worth the price, IMO.

 

[joats]

Z: Wow, expensive party but glad everyone had a blast. I've never heard of a place like that before but got a chuckle at the name as I began singing that song "Pump, Pump it up" - I think it's Pump up the Volume I love the pic of you and your sisters!

DisPhD: Yippee! A formal event - so now you have reason to wear the new CC stuff. You and DisKim got some great bargains!

DisKim: Loved all the dress/shoe options you posted!!
DH put in my Sirius today. It works great - he had to try a couple of FM preset stations to link it to to find the best to use to make the Satellite come in clear. As far as the house one - I just take the one from the car off the car mount and bring it inside and mount it to a home one to directly play on the stereo. DH says it came separately. I hope your DH has it working well now.

Robin: That stinks about WL - I would be so . The pool is what I look most forward to when we are there - we swim everyday.

Jill: Sorry to hear about your filing cabinet. I hate when that happens. Glad that CS was so wonderful and will be taking care of it so quickly. Oh and BTW, Congrats on your grade and compliment from your teacher. Way to go!

FF: Thanks for always posting wonderful sales and good finds! I'll have to go check out Pier 1. Sorry to hear about the Coke incident...hope you and DH patched things up.

Nucpharm: 12 miles !!! Way to go!!

GM: Keeping my fingers crossed this Olivia will sleep like this for you from now on!

Bengalbelle: Sorry, I don't have any advice for you. What symptoms is she having that makes you think it might be a milk allergy?

SL: Sorry about the migranes/headaches...they are awful. I hope you felt well enough to follow thru with your plans for the mall/family.

Lissawyn: For the last few months of my pregnancy all I could wear were flip flops - nothing else fit my fat puffy feet. Try and keep them up as much as possible - that's what worked for me to get the swelling down.

Tamie: Hope you found your vacation stuff. I love to shop for vacations...wait a minute...I love to shop for anything (except groceries)
Your NYE plans sound like fun.

Tasha: Thanks for the NY PM. I'll have to upload it onto my siggie.

Val: Are you feeling any better? I hope so.

IceBrat: Where are you? I hope you didn't stop posting since all the drama...pls let us know how you are doing.

Hello to Cabmom, Ryan, GLT, BNB, Hillbeans, Justhat, Dizagain, Bellacam, Fabumouse and anyone else I'm missing - hope you are all doing well.

Jace has been such a happy little lovebug since Christmas. I don't know if it is because DH and I have been home with him more or what, but he's so happy and he's quite the kissing bandit. He's constantly kissing us. We had such a wonderful day today. DH & I cleaned up all the inside Xmas stuff (good ridance bug tree!) while Jace napped. The rest of the day we just played and giggled. We took a trip to BRU for a new booster chair as Jace is showing interest in sitting at the table on a chair instead of his high chair. We also got a potty for him. No pressure whatsoever. I may just put it in the bathroom and see what he does. Truth be told, I dread this whole potty training thing and think that it will be sometime before we even try with him. When he's ready...he's ready. Then we went to Friendly's. Jace was so proud of himself that he drank his juice in a big boy cup with a straw. He was hysterical - grinning after every sip. It was the best restaurant experience we've had with him since he was in the "bucket" and used to sleep thru our meal. Again, I'm not sure what it is, but I love that he's been so happy lately. I'm really loving this age with him. He's so fun!

Jace still loves his train, but won't ride it anymore. He just sits in it, kisses it, and puts his stuffed animals on it but doesn't want us to turn it on. He's been digging TMX Elmo though - he's no longer afraid and is getting a big kick out of Elmo's silliness.

Question about Choo-Choo Soul for all of you that watch: I have now Tivo-ed 3 different songs/episodes. I only Tivo Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney....Is Choo-Choo Soul on after any other shows or is it totally random? Some of them are so funky...I love it. I would like to find out how many there are and get them all. I'd love to get a CD of it.

Tomorrow we are taking Jace to get his first haircut. His hair is getting so long in the back - kinda like a mullet!! He'd make a good hockey player. I'm hoping he won't freak out. We're going to a place called Snip Snaps where they have little cars and plane seats for them to sit in and videos for them to watch while they get the cut. I hope it goes ok. Aside from that not much else for tomorrow.

Alright, I've posted quite enough....blah, blah blah totally rambling tonight.
Off to finish some laundry and watch some TV w/DH.

Have a great night.

 

[zalansky]

joats - I had to post really quickly, I also LOVE Choo Choo Soul!! Cameryn literally stops and stares at the Tv when the music comes on and then starts to dance. I could not find any CD's for them yet, but it looks like you might be able to download some things off Itunes. I am not sure though - but here is Genevieve's My Space page in case you interested in seeing her bio - and there is a link on her page about the Itunes and it also looks like it will be a fill blown show in May 2007.

[DisneyPhD]

Different strokes. I can't stand chocho, never liked it. It just seems to me that women would have nothing to do with kids in real life and couldn't make it as a real singer so went into kids music. I am always afraid she is going to poke an eye out with those finger nails.

bengalbelle, I am not sure about it, but if the formula is upsetting her I would't give it to her. It isn't worth it. If she is allergic it is only making things worse every encouter with it. Espeically is she was doing alright on the other stuff. The best info I have found on the subject was a natrual parenting board. I can give you the link if you would like to look at it. They are very pro breast feeding, coth dipars, no vax, no circ and other things like that though, (just a warning.) Great info and a lot of if really makes you think. Best of luck.

 

[llij]

Good evening moms!

Bengalbelle - My oldest had problems with regular formula and we ended up giving her Soy - Isomil and it helped a lot. My son was on Nutramigan (sp?) for a bit but ended up on soy as well. They just couldn't tolerate the regular formula. I hope that your dd does better for you. It is tough to see the little ones suffer.

Zalansky - The pump it up party sounds like fun. I had never heard of that before!

Joats - Jace sounds like such a cutie! Good luck with his haircut! John freaked out with his first haircut, poor little guy.

Sorry that I can't help you with the Choo Choo Soul show. I've never heard of it. I am so behind the times with kids' shows that it is sad. When the girls were little they loved Teletubbies (is that show even on anymore?), Dragon Tales, Blues Clues, etc.

Robin - I hope that SOG gets back to you quickly. My mom dealt with them for this past trip and they were very good about communicating with her quickly.

SL - When does your class start? How do you feel about it?

Tasha - I know you mentioned it before, but when do your classes start? Are you carrying a full load this semester? Good luck with everything!

Well, I better run. John is in bed and I'm not far behind him! I'm so tired lately. The girls stay up later than me which is pathetic, but I've been too tired to stay up late.

Everyone have a great evening!

 

[Alice28]

I'm so bored! It's been a ho-hum day, except that my MIL treated us to lunch. She treated us to dinner last night too; it was nice, but it's just always work going out to eat with the 3 kids to a sit down restaurant, you know? It's like the second Molly is done eating, we need the check or she proceeds to melt down. I did catch up on all the laundry , vacuumed, exercised, and listed my Star Wars stuff on ebay. We shall see. I hope it sells; I don't want to have to return it.

BengalBelle- I'm sorry that your daughter is having such a hard time with reflux and or the formulas- that has to be extremely frustrating as a parent to see your baby in pain all the time.

GLT- WHERE ARE YOU! We are worried!

Joats- I think Choo Choo Soul is only on that one time...most days I have Playhouse Disney on in the background between 8:30 and oh, 10:30, sometimes 11:30 (but no one is watching it a lot of the time) and I feel like it only comes on the one time. I think the music is fun, but I kinda agree with PhD- she doesn't strike me as the kid-lovin type. I love Dan's House Party time- his hair always makes me laugh. I can't decide if Daniel Cook is a cutie or highly annoying...depends on my mood. Geez, what a lame life I lead, critiquing the 3 minute segments on Playhouse Disney. Molly likes Johnny and the Sprites- I'm indifferent.

I'm glad Jace has been Mr. Happy Boy for you- that's always fun.

Molly FINALLY now says 'Sammy'. Before both brothers were Josh or Joshie, which was funny because it's Sam that ADORES her and plays with her and entertains her all the time. Josh likes her, but doesn't dote on her at all. It's very cute to hear her yell after her big brother.

Z- sounds like it was $490 well spent then. I know I spent, oh, $250 or $280 at Chuck E Cheese that fall I was pregnant with Molly for Sam's birthday and it was worth every penny to not have to clean my house and decorate. I hope your Dad is doing OK today.

PhD- YIKES about the soda spill in your brand new van!!!!!! My new car has a stain in the leather....we bought the stain protector, so next time I am in for an oil change, I'm going to point out the stain and request it taken out. Watch they have to change out the leather! It would make the $250 or $300 we paid for the protectant worth it...I think it was perhaps that orange drink from McDs as it's a faded orange stain and I rarely let them eat or drink in the car since we got the new one, but every once in awhile I let them.

I hope this overflow thing with Shades overflow works out. I feel so guilty knowing we are paying SO MUCH for that room, I would love for $80-100 a night to be knocked off. It just seems crazy when other times a year WL goes for $129 a night during specials and such. So far, every time I have called for an ADR or when I changed resorts and nights AND the view (geez I've done a lot of changing this time) I haven't had any problems getting what I want, so hopefully there will still be some overflow rates.

FF- I will keep you posted, although I do know our dates of the trip will not change. We are locked in with both Spring Break time and our airfare is already bought.

I need to think of something to do the rest of the evening. I feel like a slug.

 

[cabmom]

Hi everyone! We just wrapped up my dh's family Christmas. My inlaws very rarely see the kids and this is the 2nd time for my mil since the summer and the first for my fil. I'm not impressed with their roll as grandparents. That's their choice though. It was a good day having extended family as well from his bio father's family. Dh's father lives in St. Pete's and has since dh was about 3. He remarried and stayed down there, had another family. We only see them when we visit Florida. We try to get down at least once a yr, however this year we will not make it down. The boys got more presents today, which made them very happy!
Dean is officially walking now. He's so funny. If we can get some videos uploaded I'll post them. He's so proud of himself. It's funny to watch, cause he has this look on his face like what are my feet doing! He tries to get this run going to catch up to the boys and he falls down eventually.
I've looked at the link for Choo Choo Soul. I like the music. I'm going to show the boys tomorrow.
Z- The party sounded like it was a lot of fun. I've rented jumping castles before but nothing to that extreme.
Jill- I'm glad you enjoyed the card and I'm glad it made it safely to you!
Joats - I've meant to comment before on how beautiful Jace is! He looks so huggable!
FF- I tried looking for the refurbed Ipods and couldn't find them on the apple site?
Alice - Have fun on NYE's with your neighbors! We aren't doing anything as Dh is working.
Lissawynn - I can't wait to see pictures of your house!
Nucpharm - Have you got any pictures of your fil mansion?
Hello, Hillary, GLT, Gems, Icebrat(pls come back), Bengalbelle, and all other moms!
Icebrat I tried to pm you and it said you weren't accepting any pm's. Will you pm me and let me know you are doing ok?
I watched All the Kings Men last night but kept falling asleep. I also have The Truth about Love and The Last Kiss to Watch.
Just wanted to let you all know I'm doing ok, still no return to work date yet.

Can anyone tell me when you are all planning the 2008 mom's meetup?

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Marilynn

 

[Alice28]

Marilynn~
From what we've discussed in the past, I think most of us have settled on late June 2008 for a meet. Since so many of us have (or will have) children in school, or are teachers, that just seemed to be a good time. Who knows, maybe that will change, but I think there were 7-10 of us who agreed on that time frame. As long as we all can hopefully at least overlap 2 days, it's good.

I hope I can still go; I know with this big trip to WDW this year, I don't know about 2008, esp since my mom is taking my to France sometime in 08. But DH knows it's important to me, and maybe I can just go with Molly or something for 3 nights. I need to wait until probably this time next year to know for sure.

Join us!
