We're home... boo.

So we're back from the cruise. Overall, I think we had a good time! Julianne had some issues with sleeping, but who can blame her? Her schedule was completely thrown off, not to mention the fact that she was sleeping in a strange bed in a strange place with strange people (Amanda) around. She woke up the first three nights and finally slept through on the last night (go figure). Then our first night back home she was up 4 times - it was like newborn days all over again! The last three nights she's had a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep, but tonight she seems to be doing okay (fingers crossed!). So anyway... the cruise was a lot of fun. The first day we were in Coco Cay and everyone went out to the beach. Julianne had a hard time because she was hot and tired and there was no place to lay her down. So I nursed her as much as I could and held her while she slept, but she eventually woke up so Mom and I played with her in the water. I think she liked the water but it was really cold so she didn't enjoy it too much. Mom watched her while Amanda and I swam out to the float - the water there is SO blue and SO clear, it's like a picture. Once we swam back in, Dad and I took Julianne back to the ship so she could get some proper sleep. The second day, we were in Nassau and she did very well while Mom, Amanda and I went shopping. The third day was a day at sea, so we went to the Splash Bash on the ship (again, water was too cold to enjoy it!) and we played with some toys in the afternoon and went to the sushi restaurant, Jade, for dinner. She was really crabby during dinner so I took her back to the room and put her to sleep, then finished packing. Once we got back in port, we collected luggage and drove home, where I realized I had left my breast pump in the cruise terminal and Amanda and I had to drive back to get it. The drive wasn't too bad because I introduced her to the celebrity letter game - I think we're still playing! Anyway... we had a good time on the cruise and I can't wait to go again!
