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!

Hey Ashley! How exciting, I didn't even know you were pregnant until just now. I think I saw your post on myspace that you updated your blog, so when I went to it thats when I found out. I'm so excited for you guys! How fun! I'm glad you are posting a lot about your development and the baby, it so fun to read all about it. I am also pregnant! We are having another boy..I am due February 8. I'm going to have the baby here in Japan, and my mom is going to come to help out. I'm so glad that I now have a way to keep in touch with you better!
