Aaron and I have made it to the CON, so far so good. We got me a wheelchair for the day. Walking long distances are still a bit difficult. Our first panel is Bates Motel and got free key chains. Our first freebie of the day.
We've made it to the Once Upon A Time panel and we trekked it to the Indigo Ballroom at the Hilton to see the cast of How I Met Your Mother. It was great to see the whole cast but bittersweet at the same time being the fact that this will be there 9th and final season.
My husband, such a trooper. I can say that he had his exercise for the week having to push me in that chair. Gosh I love him. Mind you, he didn't get much sleep when I didn't get any sleep from being sick that one night either. I am so happy that we aren't at the Holiday Inn Bayside anymore. Thank goodness my doctor's office was available to me when I needed them, telling what I could take for this horrible allergy asthma. A few more days, I'll be free and clear, I hope.
We took a break right after the HIMYM panel and we did a little shopping. Picked up a few raffle tickets for some drawings. Lined up to pick up pre-orders for our CON shirts and Mattel. We stopped for a quick bite to eat, I had to have the nachos and Aaron had a pizza. I snacked along the way trying to keep my sugars in check. Believe me, my sugars have been rocked off it's keester these few days. I don't even remember testing on Thursday. I was good today though. Took all my meds, did my insulin, ate something every 3 hours, light snacks here and there.
We decided to go watch The Vampire Diaries panel followed by Arrow. Love them all. Aaron checked his Twitter to see if we won anything from the raffle drawings and we did. We actually lucked out. My number was drawn first for ThinkGeek. They gave us an hour to get to the booth. We didn't see the tweet till after that and they had drawn another number. When Aaron saw that my number was first, he said that we should go downstairs and see if they would make an exception. We didn't see the tweet in time and I was wheelchair bound so it took a while to get there. By the time we got there, the second winner hadn't shown up. The lady gave that person about 15 minutes to show up, if they didn't show, the prize was mine. I GOT THE PRIZE! Aaron is over the moon. He is such a Doctor Who fan. I guess pushing me in the wheelchair wasn't so bad after all.
We headed back to the hotel so Aaron can freshen up and get to the Nerdist Live Podcast panel. Me and the girls took a walk down to The Fish Market Restaurant and had some dinner. So good!
Tomorrow will be our last day and it will be 365 days till next year. Before the year is over, we would have already purchased our badges and by February 2014, we would have secured our hotels.
Amelia has been a little quiet today, I've gotten a few kicks and nudges. Next year, we are hoping she'll enjoy what her little eyes and ears can see and hear. I'm hoping that Comic-Con will make her happy as much as it's made me and Aaron happy in the past 11 years of attending. It will be her Disneyland.
Until tomorrow folks. I'll talk to you then. Thanks for reading.
My Wonder Woman figure from Kotobukiya.

Amelia's loot. Her first Superman t-shirt that has her birth year 2013. She'll be born 75 years after Superman was created. Her Wonder Woman Chara Cover for her iPhone 4. Y'all know that she'll take over the darn thing and her Captain America and Wonder Woman onesies. I think she is pretty geeked out don't you think.
