Congratulations, she's beautiful!!
Thanks everyone! Claudia has been keeping us pretty busy, but we are very happy. These past few days have been rough during the day as she cries a lot and nothing seems to calm her down, but at least during the night she sleeps pretty well between her feedings. Right now she's taking a nap with her daddy.
I haven't been online in about 3 weeks, but I have come here several times a week as a lurker and managed to read a few of your TR. Since she often refuses to nap in her own bed, I come here and read while she naps in my arms.
I have no idea how much time she will give me before she wakes up so I won't try and post a Disney update, but here are a few more pictures of her.
That last picture is my favorite!
Hope everyone is doing well!

Yesterday I posted a couple more baby pics on the previous page, if you haven't seen them. Before I gave birth I was able to type up all my day 12 updates in Words. My silly little Peanut is sleeping NOT on me (a a rare thing during the day) so I'm taking this opportunity to post the first one. Enjoy!!
Day 12 part 1 - Let’s Do The Twist
August 22nd, 2011
We were up early again. We had to try to cram in as much park time as possible in those last couple of days! We stopped briefly in the food court for Ron to eat some fruits. It was 8am, which means that it was Twist Time! Cast members were grouped in the middle of the food court floor and were dancing the twist. I, along with 6 other female guests (3 adults and 3 kids) joined them and danced the twist as well. Ron had gone outside so he did not take a picture of me to prove I really did it, so you’re just gonna have to take my word for it. I did receive “POP Star of the Day” button though!
Today we were going back to Epcot. We waited a bit to be let in. Our first stop was taking a picture with Daisy, who was meeting guests just off to the side of the main pathway, before reaching Spaceship Earth.
I felt really bad for Stitch, as he was even more off to the side and kinda hidden, so he was all alone. I was about to go see him (for what would have been the third time this trip), but finally another family went so I didn’t. Instead we joined back with the crowd waiting for rope drop at the central plaza. Since it was our third time in Epcot and we had already done all the major attractions at least once, we went straight to Character Spot instead. We were amongst the first in line, yay! While we were waiting our turn to meet the first character in line, Mickey, his very nice character handler named Todd noticed that we were on our honeymoon. He went to rummage through some drawers and came out with the elusive “Just Married” buttons! He kept them in his hands while we got our picture taken with Mickey, which is why I’m not looking at the camera here.
Then Todd handed the buttons to Mickey for him to give them to us. THANK YOU Todd and Mickey! What a great dose of pixie dust!!!
The second character we met was Pluto, who licked my autograph book! Thankfully, he wiped it off before handing it back to me.
I love the poses Ron took with some of the characters, including the ladies Minnie and Daisy. I just wish he would have told me, so I could have done it too.
Donald was very courteous and bowed to me. We made sure to tell him he’s #1 in our hearts.
Then he gave us big hugs before saying goodbye. I love this picture of Ron and Donald!
Goofy was last. He is so tall that I had to go on my tippy toes to hug him!!
As soon as we got out of there we put our new buttons on our bags and proudly took a couple of photos.
Enough characters, let’s ride some rides! First up, Test Track. The standby line was pretty short, so we headed there after getting FPs for later. For our ride photo, we pretended to be terrified.
We went back on it right away, but this time using the single-rider line. We got lucky to not only be put in the same car, but the family that was with us decided to sit 3-1 instead of 2-2 so we ended up sitting together again. Woohoo! This time we went with a silly pose.
We crossed over to the Land, and grabbed breakfast. I had a cheese Danish while Ron had a breakfast Panini. It consisted of egg, bacon, cheese and pork. He even got extra bacon on the side.
After we were done eating we got a set of FPs for Soarin and walked back into the sunshine.

I love all of your character and ride pics! None of my attempts to pose on the rides turned out very well, but both of yours from TT look great!

Thanks!

Thank you Emma! We are doing great. Well, Daddy has a bit harder time adjusting to the broken sleep, but I'm fine.
Thank you!
Thanks! Things are good. We are enjoying the time off all together.
She is gorgeous, with such big, beautiful eyes!
I know, her eyes are so big! Ron says she often looks like she's thinking "OMG!"
You're right, her eyes are similar to Connor's. As for her hair, I don't know if it'll fall or if it'll continue to grow. I'm hoping for the latter, as it'd be nice to get her first haircut in Disney.
Thanks! I've read most of your TRs and have enjoyed them, but obviously could not comment as I read most of them with a baby sleeping in my arms. Moving the mouse was all I could do!
Thank you!
Always making me laugh with your sillyness! Looking forward to seeing more pics.

Great update--- and pictures! I love all her dark hair! She is really one of the cutest babies I have seen recently. =) I enjoyed your update as well. I really need to do the character spot. I have met all those characters before, but haven't met them in their traditional outfits. Definitely something to look forward to next time!
