Hello...here I am again...should be sleeping, but instead I am on here blogging. We are getting ready to go camping. Starting tomorrow until next Thursday. I'm a little nervous when I shouldn't really be because I honestly LOVE camping! But I am 28 weeks pregnant now so this may change my outlook on somethings! Hopefully I can try and blog from my blackberry while we are camping, but if not I will definetly have pics up when I get back.
Just a little update on pregnancy...I went to my 28 week check up and baby was good. I have been recently getting these weird dull cramps that feel like period cramps so they gave me a support band for my tummy. Hopefully this will help me out. AND the itchiness of my belly is NOT GOING AWAY! we are gonna try the cortizone for the next couple of days, but I think I either have PUPPS or something else....I don't think its just the stretch marks anymore =( Ok well off to sleep and then finish packing in the morning! =)

28 week mark!
We are now in our 28th week of pregnancy!!! Only 86 more days to go! Baby is moving more now...and sometimes it feels so weird I just have to laugh...David thinks I'm weird, but I love it when I feel him move! We got some sample paint so we can start painting the nursery (and when I say "we" I mean David of course). We just need to start moving the stuff out of there.
I'm sooo excited because my oldest and bestest friends just found out that she will be able to make it here in California to visit next month and while she is here she will be able to do my maternity pics!!! Check Megan's work out on her website Megan Elle Photography. She is awesome and if anyone wants to take advantage of her being here for family pictures or anything let me know!!! So we have to get crackin' on our nursery so it will be ready! Of course the theme is going to be airplanes and the colors are baby blue and tan, with a little green here and there. I'm so excited!!!
We also got to register for baby stuff at Babies R Us and Target this past week and that was fun too, but we realized as we were going around the store that there is a lot of stuff and we were really overwhelmed.
The pregnancy is going well...I feel like I have just popped out all of a sudden! The only thing that is bothering me now is I am getting stretch marks and my belly is SOOOOO SUPER itchy!!! I have tried everything from cocoa butter to anti-itch spray and nothing... I feel like I have the chicken pox just on my belly! Lol...well my 28 week check up is this Friday so I will talk to the doctor then! Also more good news is that I passed my 1 hour glucose test! Yay me...no 3 hour glucose test!!! =)
Just for fun...I know i'm kinda behind. Here is my 28 week belly picture! Enjoy!
28 weeks....sorry its dark!

We are having a BABY BOY!!!
So it has taken me FOREVER to get back on here...but here we are and I do apologize! We actually found out the sex of our baby on June 9 (our 2nd year anniversary!) Talk about a great anniversary present!!! Here is the little guy:
After leaving the doctors office I called Beth first because she had been dying to know...then I called my cousin Jass because she was going to help us with our little "announcing the sex" project. We decided to make cupcakes and fill it with either blue of pink icing depending on the gender...so of course we filled them with BLUE! Here is what the cupcake looked like after taking a bite!
We were at Nanay's (my grandma) house making them so we surprised her first. It was funny because while we were making the cupcakes I told Jass that I didn't think we put enough filling...and in the video you can see Nanay biting in and not finding the icing...lol...but we think she just got a defected one! Check out the video below! First is Nanay...then we went to Beth's house where my whole family gathered plus Lolo (my grandpa). Sorry if its too loud during that part of the video...but that is always how it is with my crazy family! Last on the video was David's parents finding out. I LOVED everyone's reaction, but my favorite part of this has to be the icing on everyone's face as they say with cupcake in their mouth "its a boy" all muffled up!! This could almost double as a GOT MILK? commercial!
Here are just a couple pics of the kids and Lolo with the cupcake mustaches! Enjoy!!! So keep a look out for more to come as we try and figure out what to name our baby boy!!!

Honemoon/babymoon Part II
Sorry for the delay!!! My computer was acting up and then it was SUPER hot so we kept the computer off for a couple days....here you go!
Thursday was our excursion day for the Marinarium. We left by 7:45am with a 45 min drive to the Marinarium. We got there and went aboard our boat and we had a photographer with us for the first half of the excursion which was good b/c we forgot to get an underwater camara.
Enjoying the boat ride
We rode on the glass bottom boat for a while and got out in the middle of the Carribean then got our snorkling gear and jumped in! We were snorkling and saw LOTS of fish of different varieties. It was gorgeous! I really wish I had a camara. Then we got to swim in the sting ray/nurse shark caged area ...it was kinda scary at first...especially being in there with the sharks, but they were very calm and didn't really swim up to you...just kinda swam in there with you. We took a pic with a HUGE sting ray too!!!
After that we had to snorkel back to the boat. then on the boat they had a DJ and some dancing and then they made a special Dominican drink (forgot what it was called) with and without alcohol (there were kids on board too) then brought us to natural pool which was only about 4 ft deep. Here we got to get off the boat again and dance to Bob Marley, get drinks from the "floating bar" and just hang out. It was GREAT!!! afterward we had to unfortunatly go back home...but it was a FANTASTIC excursion!!!
We got back and our day wasn't done! We ate at the World Cafe as soon as we got back and went to our room to take a nap. At 330 I had a manicure done and David went to work out. Afterwards we got ready for our romantic dinner on the beach. We dressed up and headed down around 620ish. Here are some pics of us dressed up...we clean up well don't you think?
Our dessert...
The next night we had a "Moonlight Massage" and had yummy treats afterwards. Here are some pictures below:
Friday and Saturday we were had absolutely NO PLANS! It was weird for me because I am so used to having a schedule or something planned out...but not this time. This was VACATION...when you have nothing to think about except for whether you want to go to the beach or pool and where you want to eat...it was a great time for us to just relax and we even watched A Walk to Remember (which I have been trying to get David to watch for years now!!!) Here are a couple more pics of our last days:
I LOVE mangos!!!
David shooting the air rifle...
our jacuzzi on our balcony
last sunset...

The dinner on the beach was a 4 course meal! David had to drink Chardonney by himself because I had OJ!! It was beautiful !!!
