Zombie Apocalypse and Pixie Dust - A 2 week Disneymoon (PTR link 11/14)

[Starscream275]

Yep, it's been 9 months! Crazy, huh? And nope, I won't be forgetting what happened all those months ago, but it's all in the past now.

I saw your TR, and even replied. For some weird reason I can't see the pic. Did you put your album private? It might be the reason.

Here's the link to Ben's story again:

What a great way to end your day at the Magic Kingdom, Wishes, Mickey's philharmagic, having a slap up meal at Peco Bill's and the castle illumating in the dark. Absouley marvellous.

Thanks for the link Mel, much appreciated. I'll read it when I can cuz Ben sounds like a nice guy anyway.

God it did again didn't it? Man, what is with me and not being able to show the pictures? My account is not set to private cuz I've set to public. Ya know what? I'll link you to my account and you should be able to do the rest from there.

Awesome way to end the day with a few rides and three shows. I liked Philharmagic on the last trip even though I thought I did not previously. Your spots for MMY and Wishes really are awesome. You got some awesome shots. I love that you were selected for the has kissed a monster picture. If we see it enough times, we have to get picked for something, right?

All the best for a long, healthy and happy life together

Yes, it was a great ending to a great day.

Let me know if you make progress with posting the picture or something. In photobucket, they give you four choices of ways to post pictures. I believe the one that works is the last one. You just copy and paste the link directly to a post here, no need to click on anything else.

Very awesome end to our day. I'm glad you finally enjoyed Phillharmagic, it's such a great show!

Yes, it was just a little pixie dust to be picked in the Monsters Inc show.

Thanks for all the kind words.

BABY NEWS!!!

No, I haven't given birth yet. But I will very soon! I saw my doctor today and she has decided to schedule an induction for this Friday evening! Though she thinks the baby is an okay size, since we had concerns earlier she just doesn't want to take any chance of me going past my due date. So she should be born at some point next Saturday! I'm happy to have a date scheduled, but a bit sad at not getting a "surprise". Though I'm more happy about not going super pass my due date then sad about it not being a surprise, so it's okay. I'm very stressed, but it's okay.

I wanted to try and type up all the remaining updates in words so that I could post them more easily, even after giving birth. I'll still attempt to do it (and have finished uploading all the pictures to photobucket), but my next two days are gonna be very busy doing last minute things to get ready, so not sure I'll have the time. I have two full park days left, departure day, and last thoughts. At least I've finished a full day, so I'm not leaving you completely hanging.

I was induced for Beatriz and everything gets quite overwhelming at a certain point that it does not really matter if you got a surprise or not. I am sure everything is going to be great. You will never forget this day.

Which hospital are you going to be?


Cannot wait to hear all about the arrival of sweet baby Claudia.

Yes, the last couple of days have been very overwhelming emotionally, so though I'm stressed, I'm glad to know it's for sure happening soon.

I sent you a private message about the hospital.

I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I can!

 

[kmedina]

I was induced with both boys, so I never got a surprise. It is so close to your due date, so I am guessing everything will be fine. Congrats.

 

[shan23877]

Congrats and Good luck! Your little princess will be here so soon!

 

[monica23535]

Hi Mel,

I was induced just after my due date and all went very well.

Am really looking forward to seeing some newborn pics

 

[PhoenixStrength]

One of my friends was induced in April, a week and a half after her due date, with her first baby girl! They started at 3pm on Wednesday, and she was born 8:00pm on Thursday. Good luck with your induction, and enjoy your baby girl. We will all understand your being away from here!

 

[Peace Mickey Lovers]

I was induced for both my girls, I think they would still be hanging on if we let them.
All the best

Good luck! I can't wait to see pictures!

 

[ditsypixie]

Good luck! Can't wait to hear all about your new baby girl! I was induced with my first too.

How was it being induced? I was okay with it, until I started reading a pregnancy message board. It scared me, so I closed it quickly, but too late...

Congrats and Good luck! Your little princess will be here so soon!

Thanks! I'm so excited... and terrified!

I'm glad to hear everything went well with being induced. It reassures me a little. I'll be sure to post pics as soon as I feel okay enough.

I hope I don't have to wait that long! They are starting the whole process Friday at 7pm. The nurse said she *should* be born sometimes Saturday evening. And Thanks!

I get the same feeling, that if I was not induced she'd just stay in there forever. My doctor also seemed to think the same thing, so it might be why she didn't wait any longer to set a date for the induction.

Good luck! I can't wait to see pictures!

Thanks! I'll try not to make you guys wait *too* long for pictures!

Good luck! Can't wait to hear all about your new baby girl! I was induced with my first too.

Thanks! Wow, lots of people got induced. If you guys can do it, I'm sure I can too.

I had a different experience with both. For Xander, my induction started around 5pm. Around 7am, they came back to check on me. I was not even 1cm dialated. None of that time was painful. Shortly after 7am, they broke my water. Then, things started moving quickly. He came out at 12:36pm. I was in a lot of pain right when they broke my water (but have a low pain threshold). They made me wait until I was 4 cm dilated for the epidural but were nice enough to give me pain meds that knocked me out in between contractions. Total labor was 19.5 hours, but only 5.5 were painful. It took me almost an hour just to push him out until the lady said push like you are having a bowel movement. It got a little easier, but I still had an episiotomy to get him out.

For Connor, they started the induction around 2am (that was when the bed opened, since a lot of babies were born that day). They came back to check on me around 7am. I had no pain at all, so I was shocked when she told me I was 4cm dialated and asked if I wanted the epidural then. Yes, please. The epidural was in for a while before I even felt pain. It was less painful than Xander until they broke my water around 7cm dialated. The last 3cm were a painful flash. He came out far more painfully than Xander did at 11:24am. Total labor was 9.5 hours, but only 2.5 were painful. It took me less than half an hour to push him out, but I was pushing properly the whole time.

 

[ronnmel]

OMG! In less than 2 hours I'm leaving my house for the last time before becoming a mom. So scary! I never even wanted to be pregnant before, it's only about 2-3 years ago that I developed this want. Never would have thought I would be in this position. I'm excited, but terrified.

Thanks for letting me know how it went for you. It helps a little trying to visualize what will be happening to me.

BTW, without telling me anything specific, I was wondering something about Crap's real name. You say his name is very uncommon. Is it because it's a mix of both his parents' names? It seems to be a common Filipino tradition.

 

[Starscream275]

Ya don't need to feel scared Mel, I'm here for you all the way! Best of luck! And remember if Ron complains about the baby, let me know okay? I'm glad your gonna be a mother and I'm proud of you and how far you've gotten I'm so happy for you.

Good luck!

Yay! Can't wait to hear about the birth and baby! Birth is AMAZING! When I was pregnant I was most excited about the birth, LOL!

You did a great job with your photobook! I agree, the Photopass website really sucks. They need a web designer in their pronto-- and they need to speed up the website. It takes a decade for everything to load!
