The Magic of Disney!

More than likely we will have a girl. That's just the way it is in both of our families, so maybe Ariel Belle Thompson, or Bambi Jasmine Thompson. No, no, that sounds like a stripper.

How about Isabella and then call her Belle for short? Sorry but Calypso is already taken...lol

WE ARE PREGNANT!!!!

Congrat's and Best Wishes!

Except...
Ya' might wanna' temper that "we" thing a bit...especially when she goes into labor...!

I must say, I so agree.

That phrase always worked on my nerves. In no way shape or form was my DH Pregnant. He got to drink, eat what he wished, fit in his clothes didn't have to eat horse pill vitamins and got to ride attractions in Disney World that I couldn't while I was pregnant.

[QUOTE=lorilovestigger;912373] AWESOME!!! Now the baby needs to have a Disney name.

Agree. Maybe in like 4 or 5 months he can start a thread called name the souvenir baby.

Congrats! You and the wife better get this one into the world on time because there are only 10 months, four weeks and 2 days until your baby making vacation. You're cutting it a little close.

I agree with this. You should either change your ticker, or inform your wife what she will be going through in the next year. Pregnant, baby, then get pregnant again!! Haha just kidding. Congrats.

Thank you all. We are super excited. We have our first Dr's appointment on November the 15th!

Any suggestions on baby stuff?

Any suggestions on baby stuff?

Bring the baby's grandparents for babysitting duties. If you can't do that then make nursery reservations as soon as you can, especially for dining hours (if you want to eat at Palo or Remy). You can do fine without using the nursery too. Babies are very portable and they sleep a lot.

Lots of sunscreen, hats, etc.

I liked having a small, umbrella-type stroller. Easy to negotiate the hallways and tuck away in the cabin when not in use. Target has some inexpensive ones that work fine.

Watch for germs. There are hand sanitizers everywhere on the ship, especially outside the dining areas. On previous cruises cast members asked everyone to clean their hands before entering the dining rooms.

The baby pool is drained and scrubbed every night, but after a few hours of use it probably isn't so clean.

I'm not a big germophobe, but cruise ships with lots of children on them, in winter, are prone to be dirty. Lots of people get sick after these cruises -- I avoid handrails, clean my hands, etc. Disney works very hard to deal with this and they clean round the clock. They do the best they can, but . . . kids are kids and they don't always cover their sneezes and wash their hands.

The dining crew will learn what you need and take good care of you at meals. I wouldn't worry about meals at all.

We have a collapsible sun tent we used at Castaway Cay -- worked great and didn't take up much luggage space. Our baby slept in it much of the afternoon.

I would take some small baby toys, but not more than 3 or 4. We made the mistake of taking too much stuff -- it took up lots of suitcase space and cluttered the cabin. A baby can keep happy with just a few things.

Thank you for the suggestions! What about brands of baby furniture people have used?
