IT'S A BOY!!!



We found out yesterday at 20 weeks pregnant that we are having a baby BOY!!! We could not be more excited and are so thankful for our little prince - a blessing from above!

The baby is 13 oz and growing strong! The doctor said he has big feet (we got to see a very visible foot print, toes and all, which was so neat!) I hope this means he will take after Marty's side of the family and be nice and tall!

Marty really wanted a boy even though he wouldn't admit it when people asked him, so he is thrilled, and as for me... I am a little more nervous now because I don't know a thing about little boys and will be expecting to be peed on a time or two...haha.

But one thing is for sure... he will definitely be a mama's boy! :)

The Babymoon

My dear sweet hubby surprised me this past week and took me to Cancun, Mexico for 5 nights. We stayed at The Royal Resort... the most beautiful place I have ever been. It was very romantic and he spoiled me rotten the entire time. We went snorkeling, spent hours in the sun, took walks on the beach, ate in gourmet restaurants, napped in the hammock on our balcony (overlooking the ocean), not to mention my 50 min. prenatal massage at the hotel day spa. Ahhhh.... pure relaxation!

Celebrating our 2 year anniversary (a few months late) we arrived to our rose petal decorated room with a bottle of champagne (which of course I could not drink) and an anniversary cake. The service was exceptional and the all-inclusive,adults only hotel was top of the line classy. I would highly recommend it for any special occasion!

As you might suspect the tummy is ever expanding! I have grown a lot in the past few weeks (as you can see in the pictures). The exciting news is that I have not gained any weight in the past month. I am losing everywhere but my tummy. My personal trainer is keeping a close eye on me and making sure I am eating enough healthy food and getting enough exercise. I am feeling great! :)

Something really special that happened during our trip was that Marty felt the baby move for the first time. I have been feeling it move around inside there for a few weeks now, but he hasn't been able to feel it on the outside. So that was really exciting!

We find out the baby's sex in just one more week. I am so excited I can't stand the anticipation. Eventually we would like one of each, so whatever comes first, boy or girl, we will be blessed!
