mattp420 Posted February 17, 2013 Author #51 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Update: We're nine weeks along and everything is going GREAT!!! Baby growing fine and mother moody as hell! I'm minding my P's and Q's. We're rescheduling our cruise for next June..based on the due date our little one should be around 9 months old. Seems way too young to take along but I wanted to see what some more experienced parents thought. We're just so happy it's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjunea Posted February 17, 2013 #52 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'm so glad everything is going well! My husband and I took a cruise when our son was about a 10 months. It was wonderful. I did miss him, but he enjoyed his time with the grandparents and we enjoyed our time together. I did miss him terribly, but we called home from a couple of ports and I don't think he missed us near as much! Go, have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents have been wanting a grand baby for a long time so won't be hard to get a babysitter! After the Triumph issues I just don't think I want to bring such a little guy (or girl). Thanks so much!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMerritt Posted February 17, 2013 #54 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'd say that is more than OK!! We're so happy it's ridiculous. We'd all but written it off and were beginning to explore adoption so this is just amazing. All good go with you, and much happiness to your family ~ :) Possibly the cruise planning? Our Son and DIL were in the same "boat" :D They decided to buy a ski boat.......then Surprise! They now have a happy, healthy 2 year old son, almost old enough to enjoy a Disney Cruise with Gramps and Gammie! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had finally given up after 15 years of trying and were going to take a cruise then start classes to adopt from CPS. Then it just happened...a miracle...I now believe everyone who says it will happen just when you quit trying!!!! Still seems so unbelievable to both of us. Thanks so much for all the kind words!!

prettybrowneyes Posted February 18, 2013 #57 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Congratulations!! Do what's best for your family. Praying for a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardK Posted February 18, 2013 #58 Share Posted February 18, 2013 After 15 years of trying my wife is pregnant!!!! We are so happy I can't even express but.....we have a cruise booked in June. She's going to be right up against the 24 week cutoff for pregnant women. We really don't want to risk anything happening regardless of whether she's over the limit or not...it's been such a long hard struggle we are not into taking any risks. We booked Early Saver so should I just expect to eat the $500 deposit or can it be used for a rescheduled cruise...maybe next year? Congrats and best wishes to you both!!

jimboridesmtb Posted February 18, 2013 #59 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Congratulations, you must be thrilled beyond belief. It's so nice to hear good news after all the negative in regards to Triumph. Hopefully people will realize what is important in life and let the small stuff slide. You are truly blessed.

mattp420 Posted February 18, 2013 Author #60 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Thank you all!! Just re-booked our cruise for June 22, 2014. My countdown calendar went from 116 to 490! :eek: Not sure I've ever planned something that far in advance!! At this point we're planning on just the two of us going - will be a good break I'm sure. Thanks again for everyone's thoughts and prayers - we've got lots of people sending good vibes our way and every bit helps!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sthelder Posted February 18, 2013 #61 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The best post on this board for the past one week! Congrats to OP and his wife! It will be an amazing, life perspective changing experience, to become a first time parent. Sort of knowing the feeling, as we are also praying to have a second child for quite a few years. Our daughter eagerly wants to have a little sister/brother to play with her too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterloomarc Posted August 23, 2013 #72 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Congrats! My wife and I had to cancel our spring cruise this past April for the same reason (our first suite on NCL - guess it'll be 18 years before I can swing that again!) Totally worth it though. Love the name! Best of luck to you!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
