We are currently in the Bahamas for a much needed vacation. We are having a very nice time. The first few days we were the only guests at the resort. It was so crazy! The whole staff was here just to serve us. There is a part of me that felt guilty and I kept thinking so this must be what it feels like to be a billionaire and have staff all the time waiting on you hand and foot. As a pregnant lady it was pretty nice :)
The food has been amazing! Not only is the food great but in fancy places like this they make it look so pretty. It is like you want to take a picture at every meal of your food.
Everyday we have been snorkeling and every snorkel trip we have seen at least one 6 foot long shark! Yikes! And I don't mean from a distance in the boat I mean like I could touch it. On the first day I was staying very close to Jon but for some reason he was far away from me and I look down and about three feet under me was a giant shark. I didn't see him until he was under me cause I was looking down. I calming yell shark then put my face back in the water to watch what the shark was doing (I heard it is not good to swim from a shark if they are swiming at you) and start to swim towards the boat. The shark was headed right towards Jon and the guide.
A few moments later when the shark swims past the boys the guide says it is only a nurse shark but that is the first shark he has seen since working at the resort. Once I found out it was a nurse shark I felt a bit better. The next day we are snorkeling around a blue hole and out of the middle of the hole swims another giant shark. I look at the guide to see if it was a human eater or not and he started to swim for the shark so I knew I was "safe". It is still scary/exciting to see a large shark in the wild. (The above picture is a nurse shark, pretty scary to see if you don't know what kind of shark it is)
The one downfall to this resort is the bugs. They are loving me. I have 87 mosquito bites on one arm! (Jon counted :) I can't use the regular bug spray cause I am pregnant so I have to use the all natural kind which obviously doesn't work. They also have sand flies so my legs look like I have the chicken pocks. Despite the bug bites we are really having a great time.
Today Jon is scuba diving and I must say I am sad I can't go (cause I am pregnant). I am however getting a massage. I must say again I am not one that likes being pregnant especially on vacation. I can't have an evening cocktail, I can't use bug spray, I can't scuba dive, I don't want my picture taken cause I feel fat (I know I am not fat I am pregnant but still)....oh well only a few more weeks (like 10)...
We really needed this vacation to get ready for baby coming and for Jon to unwind from work and get regenerated to start work again June 13.
