The Monday Snapshot – BOOKED!

It’s been 2 years since we took a REAL vacation. We took a “Babymoon” to Cap.tiva Isla.nd in March 2011 and had a great time. I was 5 months pregnant at the time which was great timing. This time, I’ll be 6.5 months pregnant, which will be different, but I think it will be JUST FINE… because WE ARE GOING TO DIS.NEYW.ORLD!

I have tried to get B to go to Disne.ywo.rld for years, because I think it’s super fun for adults. It’s never been very high on his list (in fact, it’s at the very bottom of his list). BUT – I want us to take a trip that is super FUN for Matthew. And it needs to be easy for B and me. Traveling with a toddler is hard work, so direct flights are a must. We have one to Orlando from central Iowa (amazing). Traveling with a toddler is exhausting for us and said toddler, so a comfortable place with lots of space is a must for naps and regrouping. Traveling with a toddler is messy, so laundry in-unit is pretty important. Traveling in general is expensive, and cutting down on meal costs would be AWESOME! Our unit has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, and in-unit laundry. I am so excited! It’s not on Disn.ey grounds, but it’s very close and just getting a mile off the grounds saves so much money in accommodation costs.

So yeah – we’re going to Disn.eyw.orld, Baby… in just over two weeks! I don’t think I’ve been this excited about anything since the FET worked back in October!*

“Can I take my blueberries with me? Yes? Then it sounds good to me, Mom!”

* I am revising this…. I haven’t been this excited since we found out that BB2/Wilson is a boy!!!!! That still takes the cake for excitement for me!

Hi, there, I’m Courtney. I never planned to stay home with my kids, but I got sucked into motherhood when my first baby came into our lives after years of infertility and multiple rounds of IVF. His brother followed closely behind, something we didn’t plan on after having such a rough road with achieving parenthood the first time around. My boys are IVF cycle twins, conceived on the same day but born two years and one day apart (they were both transferred on the same day in October, but with two years between them). My boys are the best of friends and my husband is a terrific husband, father, and most importantly… friend. He fully supported my desire to stay home (“I just wanted it to be your idea and not mine, I totally want you to stay home and raise our kids!”) and encourages me in everything I do. I am a lover of projects, spreadsheets, fitness, healthy cooking and eating, crafts, selling my stuff on FB (HA!), and the outdoors. If I’m active, I’m pretty darn happy!
