metamucil is my new bff

i've been having stomach issues since thurs night.  it's a combination of gas and not being able to unload.  all the mexican food and being in a new environment combined with my pregnancy (slow to digest food) took a toll on my body.  on saturday i had such a bad tummy ache that i didn't go to dinner with everyone.  mik came back early for me (to check up on the sickies) and brought me soup.  but i think eating tons of prunes and drinking metamucil 2x a day are finally taking into effect.  had a minor stomach ache yesterday but not bad anymore.  today, i had a 2-flusher (tmi) - success!  it's our last day and really didn't want to be uncomfortable on the plane.  so far this whole indigestion/constipation is my least favorite pregnancy thing.  on the upside today, we were able to pre-board on the flight back.  yay!

yesterday we went snorkeling in playa akumal.  we saw 4 large turtles, a sting ray, lots of trumpet fish, puffer fish, etc.  when we were on top of the sting ray, i automatically put my hand over the belly.  didn't want the ray to go crocodile hunter on my baby!  the beach wasn't as nice as mamita's but it had snorkeling.  on the way back to the shore, we were against the current so we swam a little.  it was nice to swim and do something active.  i really need to start working out.  will start this week!  i ate too much chips, guacamole, ice cream, pancakes, calamari, tacos and burritos!  i def satisfied my mexican food craving - should hold me over for the next month or so.  ;) must get on a regular workout schedule stat!!!

we really liked playa del carmen.  it's easy to get to from new york, cheap lodging/food and beautiful beaches.  maybe we'll come back here with the baby next year.  i'm also proud of myself for not checking my work crackberry during vacation.  :)

mik got me this t-shirt.  it's from my fave movie.  love it!  :)
