Honeymoon

For our honeymoon, we went on a cruise to Alaska. I was a little concerned that sea sickness and morning sickness would exponentially worsen each other, but it didn't end up being too bad. We had one full day of fairly rough, bumpy sailing. However, I don't think I was any worse off than anyone else. My new assessment is that sea sickness and morning sickness come from entirely different causes and don't really affect each other (except when it comes to eating).

The cruise was awesome. I think I'll post about it on my other blog, though.

M did take some tummy pictures of me standing in front of various things we could see off of our balcony (glacier, scenery). He's trying to take one picture a day so that he can make them into some sort of animated tummy growing series. So far, we haven't managed every day, but I think we've got a good enough selection that his project will work.

I did have to watch what I ate on the cruise. My tastes seem to change with lightning speed. The evening that we spent in Juneau, I got really hungry and we didn't have time to go back on the ship for dinner. we bought crackers and salmon spread, which was fabulous. For dinner the next night (or possibly several nights later), I ordered some sort of white fish with a light sauce and then couldn't eat it. Too fishy. And that pretty much did in eating fish or other seafood for the rest of the trip.

I ended up eating way too much rich food. As a TMI moment here, it made me really constipated. This isn't a problem when I'm at home, but when I'm at home I eat a LOT more vegetables and fruit and whole grains. Those didn't make up a big part of my diet on the cruise. Hopefully things will get back to normal now that I'm home and starting to eat my regular diet again.

We bought the Tiny Squee an Alaska tshirt. It's very cute. We can take pictures of TS in the shirt and then show them to him/her later in life and say that he/she was in Alaska with us. I think it's nice that the whole family could come on the honeymoon.
