16 Weeks

I had my 16 week appointment yesterday and everything is looking great...I am a nervous wreck at each appointment. I literally hold my breath while Dr. Winkelmann finds the heartbeat. Luckily yesterday she found Baby Scott's heartbeat right away! It sounds strong, and she was more than happy with the genetic testing results from a few weeks ago.
I am starting to grow, and my clothes are all getting tight but I am not ready for maternity clothes either...that is frustrating! As I was getting ready for my dr. appointment yesterday I pointed out to Patrick how my tummy is growing, and Will rides his firetruck around behind and says, "Mommy, your bottom is growing too!" I had to laugh because otherwise I would have cried. I feel like I am putting weight on so much differently than with I did with Will. I am ready to look pregnant, not like I am just putting on weight!
I am pretty sure I have felt Scott a few times, nothing consistent yet though. I am so ready to be able to feel him moving around and be able to share that with Patrick and Will.

Disney World!

We took Will for his first visit to Disney World for Spring Break ... we left Friday after work and stopped in Slidell, LA. After an awful night of sleep (all 3 of us in a double bed) we headed out for Orlando at 4:30 AM. We got there early enough to do a little relaxing, and realize Will was not feeling too hot. We gave him some mdeicine, went to dinner, came home and went to sleep early. The next morning we headed to our Disney Hotel - All Star Sports Resort - got checked in, and headed to Magic Kingdom. We were making sure Will was alternating his Motrin and Tylenol and he had a good day Sunday. Since we stayed in Disney we were able to go take naps in the middle of the day, which was good for Will (and Mommy!). Sunday afternoon was our character dinner with Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet. Will loved meeting the characters! We rode some rides afterwards and then went back to the hotel to rest for the night. In the middle of the night, I woke up to a burning up little boy ... so we went straight to the CVS Minute Clinic Monday morning. The nurse practitioner said it looked viral, so keep him hydrated and continue alternating pain meds to keep the fever down. Lovely! We rested for a while in our room that morning and then went to Magic Kingdom for a while, came home and napped then went to Hollywood Studios. He was starting to feel better that evening...finally! The next morning we had breakfast at Chef Mickey's. This was the best part of the trip. Will was so excited to meet each of the characters! Breakfast was great, and then we went to Animal Kingdom. Here we went on a safari in Africa which was really neat. Then we played in DinoLand which Will loved. We went back to Magic Kingdom that evening for one last visit. I think 3 days in the parks was just enough for Will at his age.
Staying in the actual resort is so worth it, and getting the park hopper option is as well. You catch a bus and go to any park you want as many times a day as you want. Splitting the day up with a nap was great for Will as he was able to rest, especially since he was not feeling good. The trip turned out great even though Will got sick. We enjoyed our time there, and especially enjoyed meeting Mickey and all his friends! Patrick and I were so surprised at how well Will did on the drive there and back. He napped, watched DVDs, colored, and napped some more. He is such an easy going kid!

Snow!

Yes, it has been over a week .... but I could not find my cord to download my pictures. Unfortunately Will was not feeling well at all the day it snowed and he told me, "Mommy, I no wike the snow." So my pictures of him attempting to smile are not so good. Poor baby missed the next 3 days of school. We got LOTS of snow, but none of it really stuck. It was really pretty watching it out the window, and then you looked down, and nothing was there. Now it is time for SPRING! We are ready for some play outside weather!!
