Baby Guessing Time

I thought we might have a little fun this week! Many of you have been through a lot with me...you've been clients and followers for years! Through my first pregnancy, my little girl's surgery, MANY vacations and now the exciting arrival of baby #2!

A little info....
-Both hubby and I are very tall. I'm 5'8" and he's 6'3".
-Kennedy was 8lbs 9oz and 22 inches when she was born!
-My heritage is mostly Italian...we are all dark haired, dark eyed
-Blue eyes are dominant on my hubby's side....both he and his brother have them and all the kids, including Kennedy have them!
-I'm measuring anywhere from 1-3 weeks ahead depending on baby's position and the Dr. said I'm ALL baby!!
-My C-Section is scheduled for Friday morning however I've been having contractions steadily for 2 weeks and am already dilated at least 3 cm.

So take a shot....head over to my baby poll and make some guesses!!

As a friendly reminder I'll be out on maternity leave starting this FRIDAY, May 2nd!  I'll be unavailable by phone or email for a few weeks and then will be available to current clients only for a little while. Thanks always for your continued support and reading along!

FastPass+ Updates!

Disney is ever growing and changing and just recently has listened to feedback from YOU!! Up until now Disney's FastPass+ system allowed guests to select up to 3 FastPass+ experiences in just ONE park.   Starting on Monday, April 28, 2014, all Walt Disney World®Resort Guests will be able to make additional FastPass+ selections at in-park kiosks after they have redeemed their original (up to three) selections.

• Guests will be able to make one additional selection at a time, based on availability. After they redeem that additional selection, they can go to a FastPass+ kiosk to make another selection, and so on. (The additional FastPass+ selections must be made at a kiosk only.)
• Guests will be able to make their additional selection(s) for an experience at which they already redeemed a FastPass+ selection earlier that day.
• Guests with valid park-hopping privileges will be able to make their additional selection(s) at another park. Those selections must be made at a kiosk in the park where the desired experience is located.

Dumbo Inspired Nursery

While this post is a little off topic for cruise month...ok, well a lot off topic, I wanted to share with you a little more how we Live With The Magic every day!  When we found out our first child was going to be a girl, it was a no brainer that she would have a Disney Princess inspired room. It was sweet and filled with tiny touches of Disney...and some not so tiny!


Now that she's almost 3 we realize the room doesn't suit her personality at all and she's overdue for a spruce but that's a story for another day!  We decided that for baby #2 we wanted to do something a little less traditional but still keeping with a Disney theme!  After considering a few ideas, including Nemo, Little Mermaid and more, we finally decided on Dumbo.  It's one of Kennedy's favorite movies AND I have always loved Elephants (I even have a small collection).

We knew that we didn't want to do soft colors like in Kennedy's room. We wanted something fun and bright!  After careful consideration, here is what we came up with!!

 I worked with an Etsy seller to design this one of a kind custom decal to match the circus/Dumbo theme.  Check out her shop here.

We are reusing Kennedy's crib since she's in a toddler bed now. The Chevron Sheets and Bed Skirt both came from Target.  There were no sets that I loved, plus we don't use the bumpers so we just found individual pieces we loved!

This simple white dresser came from Walmart.com and I found the PERFECT Elephant lamp from Urban Outfitters...on sale too! The Red Lampshade is from Pottery Barn.

And one last touch...a tiny elephant hat for her Newborn photos 

I hope you enjoyed! I'd love to hear what kind of Disney themed rooms your kids have!!

Update...check out her newborn photos HERE.
