Disney on Ice

We are such huge fans of Disney World, that I jumped at the chance to take Kaitlin to Disney on Ice when it came to Nashville. It was an awesome show.... right in line with Disney World top notch quality. Every Disney character we could think of was there except for Sleeping Beauty...not sure where she was, but Kaitlin did notice.
Aunt Alie, Maggie Moo's Mom, made the CUTEST shirt for Kaitlin to wear to the show. I am not exaggerating, it is adorable! She had made similar shirts for her entire family to wear on their trip to Disney World, and they are all fabulous. Be sure to check them out on her website!
Like I said, it was an awesome show. My only gripe was the price of the one item Kaitlin wanted to purchase while we were there. They had all kinds of souvenirs, but her only request was for cotton candy. Well to get the bag of cotton candy, you had to pay for the Mickey ears/crown that was attached to the bag. 10 bucks! Disney certainly knows how to make a buck!
Would I go back to Disney on Ice? Yes. Would I pay $10 for my baby to have cotton candy again? Of course.

B-O-R-E-D

I've had quite an interesting week. To give the short version of the story, my doctor put me on bedrest last Thursday. At my regular appointment, he found that I was already dilating at just 30 weeks. He sent me to the hospital to monitor my contractions and give me shots to slow down the contractions. I was able to go home that night, but I have to take my meds every 4 hours and lie around the house. The doctor's goal is to get me to 34 weeks. My next appointment is on Thursday.
Needless to say, I'm bored. I'm quite the homebody, so you wouldn't think it would bother me. This is different though. I can't just get up and do a lot of stuff. I am pretty tired of t.v., catalogs, and even my Blackberry. If you have any suggestions for things to pass the time, I'm all ears.
My family has been great. They are helping with Kaitlin and doing most of the housework. Bentley's room (yes, I finally chose a name) is just about ready. We painted his nursery a couple of weeks ago. My family moved Kaitlin's furniture to his room last night, and they are in the process of painting her room. So, there are lots of little projects going on right now that I get to oversee but don't get to help with.
That's all for now. Notice I finally have time to post some blog entries?

Dorothy and Her Little Dog, Too!


Kaitlin wanted to be Dorothy for Halloween this year. She made an absolutely perfect Dorothy. We didn't do anything big for Halloween.....just let Kaitlin trick-or-treat at the homes of a few of our close family members. She had a great time of course. More info on "The Little Dog" to come in another post. I promise it will be a good one!
