15 weeks and crusin'

The past week was more about Himal and me than Baby D.  We went on a cruise to the Bahamas to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful time soaking up the sun and getting away from the real world.  I think that everyone should get away for a tropical vacation during the winter; I'd love to make this an annual tradition.
I learned that pregnancy + unlimited cruise buffet = not a good combo.  I ate.  And ate.  And ate.  And ate some more!  It was quite amusing. 
Baby D is already a well-traveled fetus.  S/he has been to North Carolina, Florida, and the Bahamas.  Here are some of Baby D's firsts:

Baby D's first cruise, 2/23 - 2/27/12


Baby D's first time out of the country, Grand Bahama Island, 2/24/12

Baby D's first time in the ocean, Nassau, Bahamas, 2/25/12

Best moment of the week:  Our cruise, of course!
Baby bump status:  Definitely looked pregnant in my swimsuit, but the unlimited buffet didn't help things. 
Baby is the size of:  An apple



Total weight gain:  3 pounds (pre-cruise).  I'm not going to report my post-cruise weight.
Maternity clothes?  I've fully embraced maternity pants.  Maternity shirts are still too big.  I've never been a dress person, but I think I might really enjoy cotton dresses during this time; they are very comfortable.
Symptoms:  Still tired.  I also learned that my back hurts during long car rides and after walking long distances.
Cravings:  I couldn't get enough of the chicken tenders and mashed potatoes on the cruise.
What I miss:  Partaking in the nightlife on the cruise and getting fully into the hot tub.
Gender prediction:  Still assuming it's a boy until we find out for sure in 5 weeks.
Looking forward to:  Our 6th wedding anniversary on Sunday.
More cruise pics to make you jealous.  LOL:
