OK, so I have a question that I have no idea where to find the answer to so I'm hoping someone else here may have experience with this.

I am very excited because it looks like I will definitely be on track for having at least 10 recruits and/or one each month for the rest of this year. I know that at conference they said they were going to do recognition and/or gifts (cash again?) for those who achieved this at Leadership.

My conundrum is this: On the incentive trip last year (Majesty was fabulous!!!), I got pregnant. This makes my due date Jan. 12th. If this baby comes a month early and is healthy (this is what my last did), I am going to go to Denver (from Austin, TX). However, as you can see, the timing of the arrival of my "PC cruise souvenir" :) makes it extraordinarily unlikely that I can even possibly attend Leadership this year. I am ecstatic about the baby, but I can hardly stand the fact that I have to miss Leadership!!!

My question is this: if I earn an incentive like the on-stage recruiting one, but I physically am unable to attend conference, do they ever send it to you anyway?

Just wondering if any of you have any experience with any thing like this. :)

sounds LIKE an occupational HAZARD-- I would contact HO and ask them-Congrats on the Souvenir==Morfia
 
I have no idea as to the answer of your question...But Congratulations on the baby!
I had a similar pregnancy...got back from Conference '07 and followed Les Hewitt's instruction on making time for those who matter....my husband...viola!....baby due APRIL 20th!! My Incentive Trip...the Cruise...not for me :(...I was delivering my precious son...
Glad you enjoyed yourself ;) Congrats again and good luck, wishing you a happy, healthy baby :)
 
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Congratulations!!! I wish I knew the answer. But cherish that little souvenir. How cool!!!!
 
I just have to say your not alone! I won't be going to leadership this year since I found out in Key West (same cruise) that I am pregnant. I'm due about 3 weeks before you though, so I know I will not be traveling.

Congrats!

Congrats to you too!!!
 
You guys obviously did more than we did on our cruise. Wasn't your ship docked one day because of bad weather???? I guess you found good use for that free time. He...he...he..:love0010:
 
WOW those trips are dangerous!!! :) So glad the factory is closed and my souvenir days are over I have my two darlings and I'm happy. CONGRATULATIONS to all of you though!!!! Babies are a blessing, just love them!!! Sorry don't know the answer either but let us know what you find out.

Heehee, yep, that docked day was put to good use. DH and I booked a couple's massage, and after that we finally got around to drinking our free bottle of champagne, and so we had a REALLY relaxed day. If I'm not mistaken, I think that night was the night that we played the scavenger hunt game and my shy software design husband joined the crowd of other PC hubbies (and a couple of the male consultants, one of whom is also from Austin!!!) up on stage in his undies, my bra and lipstick and another woman's shoes. Let's just say that with our 3-year-old and what will be a 2-month old at the time, Mexico will probably be a lot more sedate for us!!! :)Thanks for all of the congratulations, and I am absolutely viewing this as a blessing, I'm primarily just wondering about that because well, you know, a little extra moula never hurts! :) I think I will take Morfia's advice and write to HO on the thought that a question can't hurt, right?Congrats to you, too Shana!
 
Wow, HO needs to issue an advisory statement for future cruises!

Congrats!
