Well since nearly all of you have asked - here's the story:
Adam's parents decided to go on a cruise, I believe in January of this year and booked one. Adam wanted to go and asked if he could (jokingly) go. I of course said, "NO WAY!" Anyways, I VERY gradually changed from "NO WAY" to "Okay, MAYBE you can go," to "I think you deserve it, you can go if you want to." Honestly, I didn't really think he would go.
It's never really been an option for me to go. Seeing that I'm almost 31 weeks - though the sunshine and being on a cruise sounds REALLY nice, I don't really want to waddle around in all my pregnancy glory in a bathing suit. Plus, I'm not so sure my doctor would give me a note to get on an airline this late in pregnancy and I know airlines don't like pregnant women in their last trimester to fly too. And I got sort of sea sick the first couple days when I went in Dec. 07 - I didn't want to really take the chance that I would get really sick being pregnant and all and spend all my time throwing up. So. . .Adam's been battling this decision for a long time. He isn't a bad husband and just decided to up and leave me. I could tell he struggled with making the decision. In fact he said he wasn't going for the longest time. . . .I think what changed his mind was because Adam's grandma decided to go. Adam was the one that pressured her into going - and he wanted to spend this trip spending some time with her. If you know Adam, he has always been really close to all his family - I know he wasn't just telling me a story to soften me up.
Sooooo, Friday morning Adam called to see if he could still get tickets. Nope, they were sold out. So his name went on a waiting list. However, around 3 pm Friday he got a call that someone had cancelled and he could go. Not 24 hours later Adam was on a plane with his family and on his way. His family didn't even know he was going with him until they got to the airport themselves!
So, I am really jealous that he's gone, but I'm not mad he's gone. Of course I want to be there with him, but this baby comes first (whether I want that to be the case or not) :) Maybe someday I'll have an opportunity like this. In fact, maybe we should plan an "all-girl" cruise/trip. Any takers??? :)
