The Official New Mom Thread Part 2

[floridafam]

Robin,

I hope the AP rates will work for you.

I got a huge survey after our last trip about different dining plan options we would like to see so maybe there are changes coming.


If anyone is at Gymboree soon and happens to see anything from a line called Tokyo Tea Garden can you let me know? I guess it is a new line coming out and it said it's a capsule line. I'm not sure what that means and I don't know if we will get it in our small store.

I LOVE!!!! asian inspired clothes and would love to see the stuff if anyone gets any.


THANKS!!

Be back later to get caught up. I must get in the shower and get ready for my Dentist appt. DH is in Lakeland and should be on his way home now.

Hello, hello! Just back from the gym and Emma's gymnastics class. I had to renew my gym membership today--yep, that emptied out our dwindling checking account. But how could I not keep up my membership--I would be letting down my tag!!!

Not much on the plate today (pun intended) We have NO food in the house; I haven't been grocery shopping since we got back--so that's a must this afternoon. ANd then I need to hit Kohl's to get some picture frames for the pics we had done for my mom and dad.

lisalovespooh--Welcome to our madness!!!! I've seen you over on the marathon training threads--glad to have you over here--congrats on the upcoming little one--we've got two mommies to be on here as well!

alice--cool that the pool will most likely be open when you are there!

z--sorry to hear about the scare with your dad. I can't imagine losing a parents, hugs to you and your family

gm--wow that CM discount sounds wonderful! Cool that you got a cruise planned!

sl--glad that the dr. could give you some meds. Hope they work for you!

Well, I'm awfully stinky from my workout, so I must hit the shower and put Matthew down for his nap. Will chat later!

I forgot to say

WELCOME, LISALOVESPOOH

Alice28-here's a link to sample rates http://www.intercot.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=93012

I will think about the AP. The thing about the WL room, is that I am only paying for $103 of it, per night. My parents are picking up the rest. When I asked my mom yesterday about breaking the package apart and paying for things separately (and no dining plan) she didn't want to do it. So I'm not sure she would want to do this either, but I will run it by her. Thank you though for letting me know. Oh how I would love to get an AP and have an excuse to go again within the year!

SL- did you take an Imitrex at the Dr's office? I just want to let you know they make you feel weird for awhile. Like your chest and throat are tightening a bit- not that you can't breathe, but it's weird. And it's a tingly feeling too. I know the first time I had one, (I had a migraine) they had me wait in a exam room to make sure the effects didn't weird me out. On the other hand this was 11 years ago, so the medication was a lot newer...maybe they just don't take as many precautions now.

FF- the 'private' Gymbo board I am on, already someone is off to San Fran this morning to go buy some of the new stuff. If she buys Tokyo Tea and takes pics, I will copy and paste the pics for you. And then one gal always is able to make the SKUs work, oh, the Friday before the lines are released online and gets all the new pictures up on one link. I will post that link here when it becomes available. I'm excited too about this line- I don't like the pink one I am seeing in some pics, but I like the oranges/greens of the Tokyo line....I have 3 Gymbucks to work with, so I will have to strategize carefully. The lines should be up on the Gymbo website at midnight, Sunday night. Did you hear there is a 20% off purchase in a magazine called Plum? I think it might be good for redemption. I am going to the bookstore today to try and find the magazine....

My meeting was a bust - as soon as we all showed up, the boss's son came to visit so meeting over!

GM - I think DH and I are pretty set on a trip in November 2007. Do you know if they'll be offering the discounted meal plan for CMs then? I think we're only getting 40% off the Beach Club when we're going.

alice28 - I'm headache-free today so I didn't take one yet. Thanks for the heads up on the side effects.

nucpharm - I'm counting on you to do that tag justice!

Right now it's only showing up for January through March, but I really have my fingers crossed that they'll keep offering it, especially since I haven't set the dates yet for the fall, so I have some flexability (as long as it's after BF and DBro's weddings).

I've been complaining that CM's couldn't get the dining plan for months now, so now we just have to hope it sticks!! DH said he'd only consider a value resort this year, but with big discounts like that I could probably convince him into going for a better resort or at least more days.

The scheming never ends!

 

[DisKim]

lisa loves Pooh - Welcome and don't worry in the least about not being "official". Technically, I don't think I qualify as a new mom anymore since my youngest will be 2 in April!

Loretta - I'm so sorry about what you are going through with your father . I'm very close with my mom and if anything happened to her, I don't know how I would deal with it.

Jill - I'm glad to hear that John doesn't have chicken pox. I hope that rash goes away soon and the little sweetie feels better!

The puppy is doing great. He is so darn adorable that we can't get mad at his mishaps. The only major problem we have is the fact that he is obsessed with Aidan because Aidan won't give him the time of day. In his determination to get Aidan's attention, he tends to jump on him. He hasn't hurt him but I'm afraid he might so we have to be hyper-vigilant with the 2 of them.


GM - I love your "snuggly baby" comments. Olivia sounds like she is such a good girl! I can't imagine taking Aidan to work. He'd tear the place apart!

Robin - I'm sorry to hear about Sam getting his tonsils out. How do you know he needs them out? I've never come across that issue with the kids yet.

I had to vent a little. I had a really tough morning. As I'm sure you all know by know through my complaining, I have to leave the house with Aidan in tow by 6:30 am every day. He was congested and coughing yesterday but seemed fine when I got home from work. He was doing his usual routine of dancing and playing before bed. Well, this morning he got up screaming his head off. I tried to take him to the sitter like a total idiot because I guess I just wasn't thinking straight since I was late for work. He flipped out and screamed like a wounded animal when I tried to hand him off to the sitter. I couldn't call out of work that late so I had to leave him and tell DH to go and get him and bring him home. He had started vomiting phlegm (sorry...TMI), etc. I called later and MIL said he is acting just fine except for his cough.

On another note, if any of you see any deals for Disney for May, please let me know. So far, I haven't seen anything yet. It looks like we will only get to stay in Disney for 3 days because of the wedding but at least we can make into a special birthday celebration for Alex.

More issues....do you ladies think it is mean or rude if I don't have parties for Alex and Aidan. Their birthdays fall right around the time that we have the 2 weddings. I'm going to have to put in for both showers, give at least $200 for each wedding, pay for tuxes, etc. (the list goes on). I just can't see paying for a $500 Chuck E Cheese party. Parties are very expensive out here. I feel bad because my friends all have these expensive parties for their kids and I don't want Alex to feel left out if he doesn't have one. I can't have one in my house because DH's niece and nephew are insane and I can't deal with that kind of a mess.

OK, I better go make copies.

It's funny.. I was just having this kind of conversation with DH yesterday. My friend had called asking what we're doing for Olivia's first birthday because all of her other friends who have babies (born a couple of months before Olivia) are having big parties and inviting characters like Elmo or Barney or magicians, and who am I going to have as a big event??
I can't understand throwing something big like that when Olivia could care less at this age. The big Christening party cost me upwards of $700, and that was being thrown at MIL's house. I'm sure that this time it would be at my house (we have a much bigger and nicer yard) and would be just as expensive.

I'm thinking about just having something small instead of having to invite everyone (immediate family, our brothers and sisters parents and grandparents). As it is that would be about 20-25 people.

I wouldn't feel too bad skipping the big birthday parties for your little guys. Maybe instead you can plan a special day for each of them where they get to pick an activity for your family to do (movies, minigolf, bowling, something like that). My parents used to do that for my birthday - just let me pick an activity and what kind of food/cake to have with dinner.

Real quick, as I gotta get Josh ready to go to K.

Kim- Sam may get his tonsils out because from what his ped told me, any child who gets strep more than 4 times in a 12 month period is a candidate to get their tonsils out. Sam has had it 5 times now just since July. The same thing happened the 2004-2005 school year- he had it about 5-6 times in a 12 month period. That's why he may get them out. Josh isn't as susceptible to strep, so I think he's OK for now.

Big bday parties- I don't get them. Sometimes I truly think they are more for the parents. I mean, we have had a few, but they're exhausting, expensive, and I've found my kids are just as happy inviting a few friends over for pizza. Or, at the young age, as long as they get a few fun toys and get some cake and ice cream, they're good. I'm so over the big birthday parties- from now on it's pretty much just going to be family and a couple close friends meeting at Chevy's or something like that.

Hi Everyone,

John is down for another nap which is good b/c his last one was only 45 minutes long. That poor guy needs to sleep. Heck, I need him to sleep!

DisKim - I don't think it is bad if you don't have parties for the boys. Doing something special at WDW is a great birthday gift. We opted for no parties this year for the kids. The girls don't mind and it will be nice to just go do something special as a family on their birthdays. After Katie's sleepover fiasco in September, I can't even think about a birthday party. I hope that you get a great deal for May at WDW!

Justhat - I loved the DDE card when we had it in 2004/2005. It more than paid for itself since we like to eat a lot of sit down meals at WDW. When are you planning on going back to WDW?

SL - I'm glad that the doctor has given you some medication for your migraine. When does your class start?

Robin & FF - That new gymbo line sure sounds cute!! I miss not being able to dress a little girl!

Robin - Having an AP is addictive, I tell ya. We got one for our Dec. 2004 trip and ended up going 5 more times within that year. My dh never knew what hit him when I got the APs!

GM - That would be great if you could get the dining plan with the great CM rates at WDW! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. The cruise sounds great too!

BNBmom - I cracked up on the 'if we aren't in the ER' comment too! You are too funny!

Nucpharm - You are the workout queen! I love your tag! Good luck getting everything done today.

Hi to all the moms!


ETA: Robin - I wanted to tell you that I have a good friend whose 3 dd's got strep all the time. They all had their tonsils out within the past year and a half and voila....no more strep. Poor you and poor Sam though. Being sick all the time with strep is no fun. Also, I hope that your pink eye clears up too.

 

[gottalovethem]

Ohhhhhh, I SOOOOOOOOOOO want to plan a Disney trip too. I just keep hoping next year....sigh.........


Birthday parties -- we (okay, I) am having a party for DS on Saturday. My mom was nice and bought lots of the decor and goodie bag stuff and I started a thread about party ideas which has been a big help. We are just doing it at the house and it looks like there will be anywhere from 6-10 kids. So not too out of control. I was gonna check to see if a friend's daughter could help me out with the kids/games (hopefully for free). It's just two hours, so not too bad.

GM - yeah about the cruise!

BNB - gotta ask , what is kitty litter cake?

Robin - sounds like some great plans. BTW, is that person flying to San Fran exclusively for the gymbo?? Sorry about Sam and his tonsils, hope all works out okay.

gems - thinking of you, hope you are well

zalansky - hello. I hope you are doing ok today and having some fun time.

jill - Yes, I know you are there, thank you!! I can't say enough times how grateful I am to you and all the DIS moms. It's just

SL - guess the meeting wasn't too important Your office is quite interesting. HOpe you are having a good day. BTW, Ilove reading my tag, it brings big smiles to my face and gives me the reassurance I need these days.

justhat - Hello. I hope you are having a good day.

FF- Hello! I hope your dentist appt. goes well. I HATE going to the dentist.

lisaloves pooh - you have another child too, right? Or did I read wrong?

diskim - cute about the puppy! Sorry about Aidan getting sick at the sitters. What a PITA. I hope he feels better soon.

I hear Leify up from his nap. Check back in later.

Hi!

Carson is sleeping...the boy is (knock on wood) doing better - he's even taking 2-3 45 minute-1 hour naps a day now!!!!! Hannah is pouting - I wouldn't let her go to get ice cream with people I have never seen before in my life. She was playing with her friend who is staying with neighbors around the corner that I don't know...I let her go over there for an hour and she called wanting to go out with them. I felt funny since they are babysitting the other kid and it seemed like I was dumping Hannah on them too and also I don't know them. She is mad and said the mom kept asking her why I wouldn't let her go and she must think I'm weird, blah, blah... Oh well.

About birthday parties...I would never feel bad about not having one or not having a parent-competitve one. When the girls were small we always had at-home parties and they loved them - no entertainment ever hired! The best one I did twice - once for each girl. We had cooking stations - individual pizzas, cupcake decorating, coke float making, and snack mix stuff they could take home with the recipe. The kids got an apron and paper chef hat and they had a great time. I had DH and SIL to help. Once they hit school age we did start going places like painting ceramics or bowling since it is easier. For Carson's first we are combining it with his baptism weekend and just inviting all the family - whoever can come is welcome. Trust me, there will be yummy food, cake, and some decorations, but that's it! Definitely not big $$.

glt - I'm sure the party this weekend will be super fun! And little kids LOVE having "big" kids help out - they think it's very cool!

diskim - glad Aidan seems ok now - that is not what you needed this first few days back! I think a WDW trip is a way cool birthday celebration and I'm sure Alex will too...Aidan just won't care!

ginamarie - have fun planning those trips!!!!!

sl - your work stories kill me! I'm glad you got the drugs - hope they can take care of the pain for you!

nucpharm - you exercise goddess, you!

zalansky - more . You really made me think about how blessed we are to have our parents healthy and strong now. I always take them for granted because mine are fairly young - they had me at 19/20. I am so sorry you are going through this now.

well...need to give the girls some attention - maybe play a game or something. We got "Sequence" for Christmas and we're hooked...it's a fun, challenging, pretty SHORT game so it's perfect! MUCH better than Operation...I found out that buzz still freaks me out as an adult!

SL you never mentioned that the Satan who works at your post office was a triplet!!! Apparently he is and his brothers work at my branch. The postal worker who was referred to as "the rudest woman I've ever met in my life" is a saint compared to the 2 men working today. It was the worst experience and my kids were good!! I have to tell you all about it cause I was so annoyed I need to vent.

The woman in front of me had 3 young kids (also good) and they just kept yelling at our kids. First cause the woman's son stepped a few feet away from her (maybe 5, I mean, it's a small post office believe me he couldn't go far) and they flipped out that she wasn't watching him. I promise he he wasn't doing anything besides looking at some stuff they sell, which is behind a counter so he couldn't even touch it or anything. Then the woman picked up one of those stamp brochures and let her daughter draw on the back and they yelled out that they're not for coloring. It's not like she let them deface all their forms, it was 1 stamp brochure, and I'm assuming that each customer is entitled to one if they so desire.

So I am keeping a close eye on Madison to make sure she doesn't do anything. She's standing behind me looking at the new address packets. Well apparently that annoyed the postal workers so they yell at her. In doing so they scared her, so she jumped and turned towards me, knocking down a hanging shelf and about 300 brochures/packets. Then they start yelling and ranting about that. The woman with 3 kids ran over to help me clean up and we were saying how they must not have any kids or ever been one since they hate everything.

We go back in line and one postal worker starts yelling at the woman for making a mess. None of the mess was hers, it was the back of the stamp paper and little styrofoam pieces on the floor which she had nothing to do with. She told him that and he blamed her kids, none of whom did anything that could cause the mess. (BTW, mom and kids had on Mickey Crocs so of course they can't be bad people!! ) Then while she's actually being waited on her son starts looking at a display of address labels and touching them. The guy had the nerve to then say "Get him out of here!" She finished her transaction and left. The 2 postal workers then stopped their job to complain and bad mouth her for about 5 minutes. Seriously.

I was now being waited on and the woman behind me asks if they have any "black stamps". The postal worker says "We don't make black stamps. We only make ethnic stamps." Now, the woman was black, so if she chooses to call other people of her own race black I don't see a problem with it. Not like she was trying to be racist or meant anything derogatory by it. So, not understanding what he meant (she was elderly, maybe 70) she clarified by naming some of the people on the stamps she was looking for. He tells her "they're not black, they're brown." She just stares in bewilderment and then requests plain stamps instead.

I had 3 boxes to mail, one of which was huge so I could only bring in the 2smaller ones with my kids and after this planned to just leave and mail the huge box Friday when Joey is off, but then Madison's teacher came in so I figured I'd just ask her to watch Henry and then run to get the box and back. I waited in an enormous line again (even though the teacher held my spot there were still about 900 people in there) and then when I got to the front the guy tried to take the man behind me instead!! I went up anyway and he saw where I was mailing the package (to my in-laws in New Orleans) and he had a momentary lapse of hatred. He asked a little about the town, etc. so I asked if he lived there and he said yeah, he was from there, told me where he lived and all that stuff. I thought "wow, he's human." Only to be proved wrong just seconds later when he printed out my postage before he saw I already had postage on the package and then proceeded to yell at me. Okay, he's a postal worker, I thought it was safe to assume that he'd know what stamps look like and where to find them on a box and that I didn't need to tell him that they were there. I should add that the box was sitting on his scale so the postage was literally inches away from his face, so not like I was hiding it. And it was over $19 so not like it was 1 39 cent stamp or anything either. After listening to him complain for a few seconds I just thanked him (for what I don't know) and left.

I also decided that I will be going back to my old post office from now on. They were sorta fresh there too, but never to me cause they loved Madison. I switched cause I can't really walk to that one anymore and I can walk to the new one, but I'd rather drive and look for a parking spot than deal with the nastiest postal workers in the world anymore. It probably doesn't sound that bad, but I promise you I felt like killing someone when I was in there. The only reason I did not say anything to them was that Madison's teacher was in there and I didn't want to look insane. And let me tell you, I am a very, very calm person, so for me to get that angry says a lot.

I need to get Madison a snack now but I'll be back later to catch up. Oh, and Robin, another AP perk is that you get 10% off at World of Disney!!

 

[Alice28]

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

I'm at home with only ONE child! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Joshua stepped on the bus and I muttered under my breath, "Thank God" and the grandma standing next to me laughed and said, "Long break, huh?" Uh, yeah.

I treated myself to a baked potato and salad and Large Diet Coke from Wendy's. Got Molly some nuggets. So nice to only spend $4 on lunch vs. $12-15 when all 3 kids are with me.

GLT- I *so* wish I were rich and could help you get you and your kids to WDW sometime soon. I really do. In all your 'spare' time, keep clicking on Sunshine and maybe you can get some Disney Dollars to start socking away. No, that woman wasn't flying to San Fran; she posts on a Gymbo board I frequent and she lives somewhere in the Bay Area, maybe 45 minutes from the store, so she was going to head into the city to do a sneak preview for us addict-freaks! I hope your bday party for Laine is fantastic!

GM- Congrats on booking a cruise! That's really neat! Pixie dust that you continue on in WPASADI.

Diz- I bought Sequence for my daycare years ago- it is SO fun and totally addicting. I saw it at the store the other day and thought about buying it, but it's so hard to play games with Molly around. She just wants to throw all the pieces when we're trying to play. Sequence is the one with the pictures of playing cards on the board right? Where you try and get 5 in a row?

Kim- I'm sorry you had a tough morning with Aidan. That's so hard and really puts a damper on one's day. Glad things are going well with Irish! It will be very fun for Alex to have his bday in WDW. I know Josh felt special at DL this last year. Be sure to get Alex a sticker from City Hall/Guest Services. Every CM who spots it will tell him Happy Birthday! By the end of the day, Josh was like, "When are they going to stop telling me happy birthday!" He was smiling of course.

My ebay auctions are doing well.....2+ hours to go....I'm at $193 (where's the greedy smilie?).

I guess I'll move to this thread now we had our 3rd DD last Wednesday night. So we have Emma- 5 (6 in Feb.) Allison "Alli"-3, and Kate 1 week-- So far things are going pretty well , this morning was a little hectic getting the older 2 ready for school just as the baby wanted to eat but we made it. I am feeling good , last time I had major problems with PPD so this time I asked to be put on some meds to kind of head it off if possible, or at least makr it abit more bearable. I have had a couple of breakdowns but not to bad- anyone else have that problem? Just wondering how long most of you stayed in the hospital after birth-they were pushing us out 36 hours after because our insc only pays for 2 midnights, Kate was born at 11:18 pm - so that counted as 1 and then Thursday night was the other, Friday they wanted us out by 11 am- I guess I was disapointed because I didn't feel ready to be going so soon. I got to stay longer with the other ones I guess part of me was looking forward to a break too!

Hi everyone,

We've been watching a lot of the President Ford funeral from Grand Rapids as that is where I was born and raised. It's really sad. My Dad was really emotional about it as President Ford was a friend of my Grandpas and my Dad has always felt very fond of him. It's kind of weird to see my little town on all the national news channels.

I'm patiently waiting for DH to get home so I can leave.

Robin,

Thanks for offering to post those pictures. The line just sounds like it will be really cute. Your lunch sounds good. I'm hoping I won't need any shots and can have a decent dinner tonight.

glt,

I'm sorry you can't get to Disney right now. I hope things continue to get better for you. How is everything? You don't have to share if you don't want to.

DisKim,

Sorry this morning was rough. I hope Aidan is feeling better.

justhat,

OMG. What the heck is up with those people. Our PO is not much better. I'm pretty certain the people who work at mine aren't going anywhere soon so I try to avoid it at all costs.

dizagain,

I would have done the same thing about going for ice cream.

Hopefully, I can get caught up later.

WELCOME to the thread!
I'm on here way too much today. It's so much easier multitasking when I'm alone in the office. Clients are coming in half an hour though.

We were in the hospital from Thursday morning (admitted around 1 am, Olivia was born just before 2 pm) and left on Saturday around noon. So I guess that's about the same amount of time you were there. I really wanted to go home on Friday though! I couldn't stand the lack of privacy in the hospital, and the roommate I had was just awful.

I didn't have much an issue with PPD. A couple of weepy moments, especially when I thought they were going to readmit the baby for jaundice treatments, but I pulled through.
