Knock Knock Mommy, I'm here.

Oh my my. During my babymoon, while laying on the beach watching the sunset, I felt this jolting feeling from inside. I thought for a minute... is it too soon to feel the baby kick???? yes. yes its possible.

so after the first stab... I put my hand on my belly and after a few minutes I felt it again... BUT to have my husband there to let him be a part of it was probably the best way for him to connect with Baby McNugget. Seriously though, the excited look on his face was priceless!!!

it even got better after we felt it, two whales JUMPED completely out of the water in front of us!


This photo was taken right after the baby kicked! We were jumping for JOY! lol




Here is the bump photo just @ 19weeks 4 days.




and the many different photos my husband took of me that day since we were celebrating!

Babymooning!

When someone asked me if I was planning on babymooning, I asked 2 questions, "WTH is a babymoon" and "Can we have a babymoon?"

the first question was answered with "its the must have vacation before you have a baby" and the word "Must Have" meant I didn't want to miss out.

the second question was answered with a FEW questions by my husband "what is a babymoon?" also "are you making this up?" and then, his work decided to send us to Hawaii.. so I couldn't pass on this opportunity so we booked it and he even flew us first class!!

So here are some amazing photos of our trip:



this photo was taken from Paia. its a little hippy town where all the surfers go. Also, we enjoyed lunch there at a little place called flatbread (everything is organic!!




My Babymoon Gift! SO before we left for our trip, my husband's wallet fell apart. After looking for a few days, I couldn't find the same type of wallet he wanted. In Wailea, there was a shopping center next to our hotel, so one night we walked there to find him a new wallet. We were pretty successful in Gucci so When I went to gift him his wallet, the sales lady handed me a HUGE bag!

"Big Bag for a wallet!" I said... and to my surprise, she said "this is actually a gift from your husband. He wanted to thank you for the baby!"

SOooOOoo AMAZING, a baby bag for little McNugget! I love it!



so this might look a little shocking.. BUT let me explain.. So at first, I thought, "How will I ever be in Hawaii in a bikini"... but to my surprise, I'm quite comfortable in my new body and though I'm gaining weight faster than the speed of light, I'm still very excited to see the me. So here I am, 18 weeks, 5 days in a bikini. Baby bump in ALL it's glory.




He saw his first Luau.



favorite dinner place in Paia "Mama's Fish House". it is AMAZING!!

sooOOoo yummy!



My second favorite place is called Hula called Kaanapali. I had a fresh salad, fresh bread, and the ribs with rice. SOOOoOOo yummy!!



The little souvenir my husband got for little baby McNugget was soOOo adorable!

Well, I must say, this vacation was relaxing and much needed. Thank you HUBBY!! You have given me and Baby McNugget the best life ever!! u r the best!

19 Weeks.. and Growing!!

I loved celebrating my 19th week in such a tropical place! Here is my 19 week bump photo!

So I've been blessed with an amazing pregnancy so far. I can eat everything and anything, I can sleep through the night, I can pretty much be superwoman if I wanted but with a baby bump.

the downside of having such a healthy pregnancy is.. I just keep getting bigger and bigger. My baby bump seems to just grow over night and even by the hours... its very interesting. I'm not sure if I'm gaining any more weight, but man oh man I feel round.

so cravings. I am seriously into ice cream right now.. cake...

for breakfast I Love Rice, eggs & Sausage (I can eat it everyday!)

I love fruits.. I can eat any fruit. but I love cantaloupe, strawberries, apples (I eat 1 a day), pineapples, oranges.

I love a good salad with baby greens, burgers still, seafood, soup... veggies (broccoli, carrots, bok choy, corn, brussel sprouts)

Did I mention ice cream??

yummy!!

18 week check up

Yikes I'm totally behind and I feel terrible!

At our 17 week check up, the doctor did a quick ultrasound scan! He confirmed that we are at 18 weeks officially.

Oh baby, you are skipping milestones! I want to enjoy every minute of my pregnancy. Let's not be in any hurry to come out sooner than you should!!

Dr's comments:

"yep, that's a boy"
"still measuring big, about 18 weeks so that's good"
"next ultrasound will be the BIG one where we check out his organs and measure all the good stuff"
"he's so healthy, I'm impressed"
"have fun in Hawaii".

My OB looks like Micheal Bay.

Anyway, I've gained 12 lbs in my pregnancy. I can still fit in size small dresses. My Bra size went from a 34 A to a 34C. I did buy a 34B maternity bra but it was so uncomfortable that I couldn't stand it.

I find that low rise shorts are the most comfy! I went from a size 3- to a 7? Seems like my butt is growing as fast as my tummy.

Btw, we r in Hawaii this week for our babymoon and I'll be relaxing on the beach for 9 days!
