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...

I'm so glad you posted. I have been wondering about you guys! Adam is so cute! CJ has the same problem with pants.
Ok first of all I'm so sorry to hear you were all so sick with the stomach flu. I hope you do get to go on another cruise and have a great time.
Second, Oh my gosh, those pictures of Adam are ADORABLE.
Oh and don't worry about his weight. If it makes you feel any better we just took Cooper in for his 18 month check up and he hasn't gained at all since his 15 month check up. I was worried as well but the doctor wasn't concerned a bit and said he was perfectly healthy. I guess are boys will just be tall and thin. I agree that they need to make baby belts.
Put some cruise pictures on here girl! You CAN rent and RV there were a few people staying there that had rented. That way you can see if it is something you REALLY want to do :)
