It would be SOOO cool, I am actually starting to debate weather or not I should test early! I am planing on testing on Monday, I will be 12DPO... so that is early, but in a way it is not because Monday is CD 28, and that is when AF has shown up in the past!

Linda: Your photos are sooo awesome. All of them, but especially the ones of the positive pregnancy test! WooHoo! Congrats, I was soo very excited when I noticed your tracker. I told EVERYONE, I couldn't help it! Now that you have officially made the announcement I can go ahead and add it to the news flasher! -- anyway, back to your trip.... Everything looks so breathtaking. I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos! You really swam with Stingrays? How cool is that. I bet Luke was so happy to see you when you got home! What special souvenirs did you get for him?

Okay, finally got the pics scanned, so here are the professional ones they took on the cruise: First night at dinner Formal night Off the boat at Cayman Off the boat at Jamaica Dolphins One other night, I think Thursday? Okay, while I'm waiting for pics to develop, I will try to tell about my trip: We flew down to Ft. Lauderdale and had to get transferred to Miami where the port was. Florida was so pretty on Monday! It was like 80 degrees and sunny! We got on the ship in the afternoon and got a couple drinks (before I knew I was pg, oops!). Went to dinner at night and met our dinner pals. Some of them were kind of strange but they were fun none-the-less! Tuesday morning I got up in the morning and POAS and bam it was positive right away! I ran out of the bathroom saying "I'm pg! I'm pg!!" waking Dave up, it was kind of fun! We just kind of relaxed during the day and soaked up the sun and read a book, got to know the places in the ship and shopped a little. I ended up coming home with a bracelet, necklace, anklet, watch and tanzanite ring! DH spoiled me, lol! It's just so cheap it's hard to pass up! Tuesday night was formal night, I got to dress up and feel all ritzy, lol. Ate prime rib and lobster, yummy! Speaking of, the food was just awesome! I have pictures of a lot of the dishes if anyone wants to see, I just don't want to bombard you all with pics! LOL! Wednesday we went to the Cayman Islands. It started raining right off the boat, but quickly cleared up until the afternoon. We took a bus to the turtle farm first, it was so cool to hold a turtle! They have such big turtles there! Then we went off to the town of Hell, not all that exciting, but cool to see, DH bought a shirt that says "Hell was full so I came back" lol. Then we went to swim with the stingrays. That was sooo cool! They are huge and they swim right on top of you. I got caught with the tail once, it only hurt a little. I took a lot of underwater pics of them which I'm getting developed right now, so I'll have to show you later. I tried to feed them squid, but they wouldn't eat it. We did get our pictures holding one and kissing it, which is coming in the mail, can't wait to get them! I only had like a half hour to shop after because they wanted us back on the ship early since a storm was coming. Thursday we went to Jamaica where we went right off to swim with the dolphins, we got to pet and kiss them and have them do tricks. It wasn't as exciting as the one I did in Mexico, but DH loved it, it was his first time! I would never pass up the opportunity to be with them though, I love dolphins! Then we went to Dunn's River Falls, DH and I decided not to climb it, me being pg and DH scared of heights, lol, so we just played in the ocean and at the bottom of the waterfall and took pictures, it was very pretty there! I was able to do a lot of shopping here, we had so much time! Every other person either asked us if we liked to "party" or if we wanted to buy there stuff, so DH was kind of annoyed, but we still thought it was a pretty island! Friday was kind of sad going back to Miami, but I laid out for like 4 hours and got lots of sun!

What special souvenirs did you get for him? Jacque Jacque - I got Luke a t-shirt with a shark on that says Jamaica, a little drum that rub in your hands, and a little stuffed dolphin with the name of the dolphin we swam with. I missed him so much! I was so excited to walk off the plane and see him!

Linda ~ I know I'm not an Illinios lady but I just had to sneak over and look at all your pictures!!! They are so beautiful! Anyways, if you dont mind me asking, how much did this trip cost you? It is something that DH and I really want to do but are afraid that it will cost too much. Was it all inclusive? Did you have to pay for all the professional pictures? Sorry so many questions but I REALLY want to go on a cruise!!!!

Hey Jennifer! The trip cost $1800, that included the cruise, airfare, food, and taxes and fees, etc. The only things we had to buy were alchoholic drinks, pop, pictures and souviniers. The 8x10 pics cost $20 each, but the smaller ones were $6 & $7. The food was amazing and you can get seconds if you want, one night we got lobster and prime rib for dinner, I would get 2 desserts a lot too, lol! It was very worth it to me! I spent about $700 extra on the ship, but half of that was jewelry I bought and the other half was DH's drinks and the pictures. So, if you don't go overboard on that stuff you shouldn't spend too much! Hope you go, I think it was worth every penny!
