Val's Journal (comments welcome)

Val, your trip is right around the corner!! We always stop by the Disney Store to soak up a little extra pixie dust whenever we're running low!

Hope all is well with you!!

Hey Val gal!

Thank you so much for your PM! I have a lot left to do before we leave for WDW, but I am crossing things off each day on my to do list. I AM SO EXCITED TO BE GOING TO WDW!!!!

Just a heads up~ not sure if you read about it on the CB or not, but there is a new store at DTD where everything is under $10!!! Woohoo! They have grab bags for $6.95 and people have been reporting some cute stuff in these surprise bags!

I'll post the link here when I find it. Have a great day!

Thanks Tracy. I did see that yesterday and I was SO excited! I just love the thought of telling DS he can pick out anything in the store for himself !

Okay, I have a little secret that I have to tell someone so I'm going to tell my WISH friends. Yesterday I found out that I am going to have another baby. All night I kept dreaming that I needed to take a pregnancy test. I would dream it, wake up and then have another dream with the same theme. Well, I wasn't even really late yet so I definitely didn't think I was pg but around 6:30 a.m. I took a test just so I could stop having the stinking dream. Well, it came out positive. I think I was in a total state of shock for awhile . DH was thrilled but all I could think about was how are we going to afford this. That's quite a roll reversal for us. The shock has worn off a little but we still don't want to tell anyone just yet. I scheduled an appt. with my gyn but I couldn't get in until after our trip so we're keeping it a secret until then. Of course, we'll have to tell DMIL since she's going on the trip with us and will wonder why I'm not going on any of the good rides .

BTW, I am still planning to participate in WISH. I switched my focus a bit from losing weight to making healthier choices awhile back and I still want to make those healthier choices.

Water, vitamins, food and exercise have all been good this week. I have to go get DS ready for school but I will be back to do journals in a bit .

Congratulations Val!!!!

How exciting for you and your family! I know how hard it can be to keep that secret. At least you were able to share with your WISH friends!
I can't believe that you kept dreaming about it like that - how ironic!

Well now you have a VERY good reason to keep with your healthy living. You've got the health of yourself and baby to worry about. And you need to remember to not put too much weight on - trust me on that one!

So many wonderful, positive things happening for you right now. I couldn't be happier for you!

and for you. Enjoy your day - I am sure you are on !

TTFN-
Sharon

Hi Sharon,
The weird thing is I had a dream a couple of months ago that my best friend since 2nd grade was pg and the next day she called and told me she was . Guess people better watch out when they show up in my dreams .

I know what you mean about the weight. I still haven't lost the weight from DS and that was five years ago .

CONGRATULATIONS VAL!!!

Oh, that is wonderful news. I know that you will figure the finances out. After the shock wears off, I know that you will be as excited as DH. Thank you for sharing your wonderful news. I love secrets.

Take care of yourself. I know that you will take excellent care of yourself and the baby.

A WISH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on your BIG news, Val!!

And please.... promise me that I will *never* show up in one of your dreams!

 

[toystoryduo]

Oh Val!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is such wonderful news! I am so excited for you!

Try not to worry too much about your finances right now. The Lord will provide what you need.

Val, I am so excited and happy for you! You and your baby are in our prayers. Take very good care of both of you!

Tracy

Thanks so much for the well-wishes everyone. You guys are just great .

I think things are finally starting to sink in for me. Once we have that first dr. appointment I'll relax a bit. I'm just nervous that it could all be a mistake.

Water, vitamins, and exercise have been good. Food could use some improvement . I'll work on that for today.

It has been so beautiful out lately. I hope to get outside again today and enjoy.

I'll try to get to journals tonight. I have kids coming in a few minutes (half day) but I'm thinking of all of you and WISHING you success !

 

[geetey]

Hi Val!

What exciting times you are getting ready to experience! A new baby on the way. Be sure to take care of you and the little one. I am sure everything will be okay but it is always good to hear everything is great from a doctor.

Oh! And CONGRATS on your 3000th post!

Have a great weekend!!!!

 

[vald1977]

Hi Terry! Thanks for pointing out my 3000th post! I knew I was getting close but I didn't realize I had passed it. Now I have proof that I'm a blabber mouth .

We had a quiet day around here. DH had his last football game of the season so it was just DS and me. We shined pennies for the pressed penny machines at WDW and listened to the Clay Christmas CD. Later, we both fell asleep on the couch watching cartoons (and DS is not a napper usually). It was nice.

I really need to kick the packing into high gear tomorrow. I can't believe we are leaving next week . I just hope I don't have to title my trip report "Barfing Around the World" . So far, I have been a little nausous (spelling) but nothing too bad. I'm just so nervous I'm going to be sick for the trip. I've got my fingers crossed.

Hi Val,
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. Sending you a PM.

Hi Val.

I am sending so you won't have morning sickness at WDW. I wonder if any cravings will kick in, hmm..Dole Whip anyone? Good Luck packing.
Beth

 

[geetey]

Oh no! You aren't allowed to have morning sickness at WDW! I am sure there will be some delectable treat that hits just the spot. You will, of course, be allowed to indulge every day.

What a nice and relaxing day you had. I am glad you got to enjoy it and a nap too.

Only a few more days until you leave!

 

[vald1977]

Hi all,
I'm not feeling well at all since yesterday. I think I have a UTI. The sides of my back are sore and I feel kinda crampy when I pee (sorry TMI). I'm also having to go constantly. I went to the doc. today and dropped off urine but I won't know the results for two days. They did start me on an antibiotic anyway. I'm just hoping it's just a UTI and nothing else is wrong. I still don't really "feel" pregnant and that is kind of scaring me. Funny, now I would welcome that morning sickness I was complaining about. That's all for now.

 

[toystoryduo]

for you sweetie.

Are you close to being ready for WDW? The reason I am asking is because I want you to try and take it easy the next couple of days, okay? I am sending prayers your way. I'm also sending you tons of for any last minute things that need to be taken care of before your trip.

Relax as much as possible and take good care of you.

Tracy

Val,

UTI's stink. I hope you are feeling better. I'm proud of you for getting this taken care of. Can you imagine being on vacation, and getting sick. You still have a couple of days, and I bet you'll start feeling better just in time.

Drink tons of fluids, get your rest, and don't go crazy trying to get everything done.

Beth

 

[sharoncity]

and healing coming your way by the bucket load Val!! i hope you are feeling better before it is time to leave on your trip.

Just take it easy, get lots of rest and don't sweat the small stuff. If it doesn't get done, it WILL be okay!! What ever you forget to pack, just remember, your only going to Florida. You can always buy whatever you need there! I always find that this attitude helps to relax me as I prepare for a vacation.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a GREAT vacation!! Enjoy every moment of it!

TTFN-
Sharon
