The Happiest Place on Earth

Didn't win the contest, oh well. At least we were finalists!

About two weeks ago, we took Lily to the Magic Kingdom for the first time. I was so excited for this trip. We hadn't been to MK in almost a year. Last time, I was about 10 weeks pregnant and we stayed for about 3 hours and I needed to leave...and that was after a sit-down lunch and visit to the Hall of Presidents - not the most strenuous of days! Anyway, I was just so totally ecstatic that we were actually taking our baby to Disney World. Every now and then we would talk about taking our kids there and what rides we would go on with them, and omg what if they don't like theme parks?! But eventually there were times in the last couple of years where I wasn't very hopeful that we would ever have a baby to take with us. So even though it was just a little day trip, it was a incredibly significant visit for us.

Top 15! Now where is Ryan Seacrest?!

Ok, this is total craziness.

A few weeks ago I entered some pictures of Lily's room into a contest on thebump.com. Yesterday, I saw a link that said voting had started so I clicked on it...and there was her room, right there under "top nurseries"!

It took a little bit to really believe that we are actually finalists in this contest! Right now, it's the top 15. In two weeks, the top three are announced and then people vote again for a couple of days. I guess it just seems totally amazing to me because I know what this room used to look like! But if you are one of the three people that reads this, please vote for us as often as you can!

Vote here!!
