Disney!!!

February 1st! Not much longer to go!  And this time we have an addition to our little trip.  Grandma Val is coming for a week! Grandma Val comes from out west and her flight passes through Toronto anyway, so we'll meet up with her when she lands and continue on together to Orlando.  Woohoo!!! OOOh she's in for a treat.  The warm weather in Orlando (knock on wood) will be a pleasant change from the -22 that is Edmonton.

I am so excited it's not even funny.  Mike was wary to go for 2 weeks as I'm pregnant and I said are you kidding!?? Warm weather, bobbing around like a beached whale in the pool, greasy food, relaxing, no house cleaning???? Um...yes please!!!!

Seriously I do need to double check our insurance though.  I could in theory have a premature baby there and then have to shell out $10k a day in the hospital as it wouldn't be covered under my insurance plan.  Also will get a note from doctor to state that i am only 27 weeks when we travel as I tend to get so big at that time that people say "any day now hey?"

The girls are excited and keep talking about the things they will do with Grandma Val.  Paige is a bit taller this year and will be able to go on some new rides that she's been wanting to try out for 2 years.  We have 1 breakfast booked this time...a Mary Poppins one.  We'd really better watch at least some of that movie.

So yep, every day I'm comparing the weather from here and Edmonton to Orlando.  At this time of year and Febraury the daily lows are about 14 or so, so not hot, but it can get up to 25-30 during the day with the humidity, so that is totally fine by me.  My only issue now is clothing.  My summer maternity clothes are from when I was pregnant with Paige and so so so huge.  I don't think anything will fit.  I grabbed a couple of cheap stretchy skirts and will get a couple of tank tops.  Luckily we have a washing machine in our unit because if it's hot I'll just be wearing the same thing again and again.  The bathing suit I'll buy in January to ensure it fits.  i'm anticipating gaining at least 10 lbs more by then.

Excitement factor through the roof!!!!!
