Hi, all!
We told the kids last night that we can't go on our cruise, and I decided to check in and see what's been going on here the past month or so... I haven't had the heart to keep up with things since late May.
I haven't officially cancelled the cruise yet, partly because I'm still slightly in denial. I am doing fine. Still pregnant (about 12 weeks), and am getting used to the idea of a baby. Feeling better after several weeks of pretty bad nausea. Mark had a "minor cardiac event" (not a full cardiac arrest) about 10 days after we found out about the baby. He's only 42, so it's been quite the stress fest at our house. The doctor says he'll be fine, but it's like Dick Clark says, "The hits just keep coming!!"
The kids are excited about the new baby, but are incredibly bummed about not making the Halloween cruise. We all cried a little when we told them we couldn't go. We're kinda sorta considering doing the cruise over Spring Break, but I don't think we can get a good rate at this point.
I have one of the Mickey Halloween party-in -a -box and a pumpkin with mini bean bags of Mickey, Goofy, and Donald in costumes if anyone wants them. Shoot me an email and I'll ship them to you, free of charge.
The travel logs do have the eastern itinerary outlined in them, but they are still pretty cool. I paid $15 each on ebay for them. I'm keeping the two I have because SOMEDAY we're getting on that ship!!!
Anyway, I'm glad to see things are coming together for the cruise. I'm fiercely envious of you all!!
