Our Trip

Our cruise didn't go exactly as planned. Adam got the stomach flu the weekend before we were supposed to leave. It only lasted 24 hours so I felt pretty good about going. But the night before we were supposed to leave both my husband and I came down with it! It was the worst thing ever - thank goodness we have more than one bathroom! We didn't sleep all night, luckily we were at my parent's house when it hit us so they took Adam for that night because I have no idea how we could have taken care of him. I don't know how we did it but we made it to the airport and onto our flight the next morning. As soon as we got on the cruise ship we went straight to bed and only got up for the mandatory life boat drill and then were out again until the next morning. We felt much better the next day but still not 100% until the last day of our cruise. We both actually lost weight! We put a deposit down on another cruise while we were there so we are going to figure out when to take another one without being sick this time! We might even take Adam with us but I have to admit it was nice just the 2 of us being away. I know Adam had a great time with my parents too - his own mini-vacation!
I took Adam for his 15 month check-up today. He hadn't gained any weight since his 1 year appointment, he is 20 pounds (5th percentile) and 31.5 inches (45th percentile). The doctor isn't concerned about the lack of weight gain because I told him that he eats like a horse but he never sits down. I think if we go back for his 18 month appointment and it's still the same I will be really concerned but I am not at all right now. It's just so hard to find pants to fit him, everything that fits him in the length is SO big in the waist and falls down. They need to sell baby belts or suspenders or something.
Below are some cute pictures we took while Adam was playing dress up with Bob's stuff...
