Home AT LAST!!!

We are home now from our cruise to Alaska. We had so much fun at the different ports, but the boat was a pregnant woman's nightmare! Of course morning sickness hit a day or two before we left. I was ok until we had our first full day at sea. I seriously thought I was going to die!! It's hard to fight nausea when the boat won't stop rocking!! It was so bad that I decided to try acupuncture.

I am TERRIFIED of needles, but they guaranteed it to help with sea sickness and morning sickness. I was totally amazed. The first treatment was wonderful and lasted a day or two until our next full day at sea, which happened to be a very turbulent one. As I sit here I can still feel the rocking! I guess I don't have my land legs yet! Anyway, I ended up having 3 treatments done. they really worked while the needles are in place! Too bad we had to go by the buffet to get to back to our room because the second I smelled the cooking meat I was a goner!! I tend to turn into a slight vegetarian while I am pregnant. I'll blog later about all the beautiful things we saw. I am still trying to recoup today! I know it doesn't sound like it, but we had a really good time. However, I think next time we'll either visit all the places directly, or we'll go when I'm not pregnant!
