Road to Hana trip!
I was so afraid I would be so sick,
because before pregnancy I am known for getting car sick everywhere we go,
(little did Aaron know what he was marrying into- haha we can't drive anywhere..)
and pregnancy just makes it worse.
But the convertible and open air helped a lot!
Hiking the trails on the way there.
The water was so high they advised you not to cross because they were afraid that it would be to high to cross on the way back.
I love hiking.

Stopping on the way to see the views. So Pretty
7 Sacred Pools.. AMAZING.
So we decided to go on a 4 mile hike to this waterfall.
about 1.5 miles in, it starts POURING on us.
We were soaking wet having to cross these rivers through the jungle to get there.
It was one of those unforgettable experiences.
and the waterfall was absolutely stunning.
So worth it.
All we wanted was pizza.
So we made the 3 hour drive from Hana back, (which was rough for my tummy but I made it!)
I found ourselves one of the best BBQ chicken pizzas I have ever had.
Finished off by Coldstone.
I don't think I had every been so ready to take a shower when we got back to the hotel.
We were so muddy and wet.
The day came to leave Maui.
We were sad but excited to be back in Kauai.
We stayed at the same hotel on our honeymoon 2 years ago!
And loved every little minute of it.
Our last breakfast at the Grand Wailea.
Aaron already misses the buffet breakfast each morning.

Goodbye Maui!!:(
 Again... best part of Hawaiian Airlines.. Guava Juice on your 30 minute flight.
Hello Kauai!! from the plane.
Aaron and I spent the afternoon at the pool/ beach.
We went to this amazing restaurant where there just happened to be a margerita pizza.
How excited was I?!
My cute mother in law got shrimp and chips, who knew they had shrimp and chips!?
 A couple nights Aaron and I went on late night walks by the beach.
It brought back so many memories from our honeymoon.
I was in heaven laying on him hearing the waves crash.
It was one of those moments you wish will never end.

This was the sight my husband got to see everyday.
haha my in laws would be laying out, and Baby and I would get over -heated so fast,
so I kept my hat on and would wade in the water until my husband woke up to find me gone from my chair.
He knew right where to find me .... in the pool.
 so happy with my lava flow.
part of the lazy river... it went on forever and ever. so beautiful.
Awww i caught him asleep.
It was so windy that my towel from my chair flew up and hit him in the face and he didn't even move a muscle. He was OUT.
 I was able to do the slides.
Only I had to sit up and go slow,
while my husband torpedoed out of it!
I'm suprised I actually caught him in the picture.
I took like 50 and all the other ones are just a huge splash of water.
Spouting Horn!


Ok my pictures don't do it justice...
It was really cool and went a lot higher than that.
Best mexican restaurant in the world!!!
oh my goodness.
I got the best shrimp fajitas while Aaron ordered beef.
Funny story...
The waiter thought Aaron ordered beef fajitas for TWO.
So naturally Aaron gets about 5 pounds of beef for dinner.
I think he was almost as happy has he was on our wedding day... haha just kidding.
but seriously.
He downed them... I have never seen someone eat so much in my life.
-WATCH VIDEO BELOW....
The daily ice cream cones.
I got a Raspberry sorbet cone every single night.
I craved it.
Which is so unlike me.
Usually not pregnant I would be downing the cookie dough ice cream but nope not anymore.

I'm so glad we got this on camera.
We hit 26 weeks in Hawaii.
So I had to take a picture.
Naturally I'm in my swimsuit.. We were in them for most of the trip.
I found my eyes glued to all the little babies in the pools.
I feel like it all hit this week.
The back aches, the tiredness, being uncomfortable... I felt really pregnant.
The only time I feel weightless, without the 10 extra pounds I'm carrying,
 is in the water.
So luckily there was a lot of that and a lot of pool swimming.
The longest run I did in Hawaii was 5.25 miles on the treadmill.
I ran at a pretty fast pace with inclines and felt awesome, 
However, the next day we went on a 4 mile run outside and my back started aching.
I got a couple cramps throughout it..
I think it's the extra weight my body isn't used to,
and also running on the pavement.. It's so hard for me.
We took it slow.
I can feel my body changing each day.
I still crave fruit like crazy, and in Hawaii all I wanted was that shaved ice!
The pineapple was the best thing on this earth!
I was in heaven.
Aaron and I  have his name picked out, which is huge for us!
But we are keeping it a secret until he is born.
Mostly because I might change my mind, knowing me.
ha but we are so excited to hold this little one.
It is all feeling so real!
Bathroom breaks are still a daily/nightly occurrence.
He moves all the time, his kicks are getting stronger.
I love feeling him move.
That is my favorite part about pregnancy.
He is 14 inches long! Meaning he only has about 5 more inches to grow until he is fully grown for birth.
So crazy.
I still sometimes can't believe it.
I am trying to take it all in and love the process.
Aaron loves feeling him kick each night when we go to bed.
He gets wild at night.
I love it.
My cute husband is so proud to tell people he is going to be a dad.
It's the cutest thing.
My very favorite breakfast at the hotel.
Whole Wheat Cranberry pancakes. Oh my goodness.
Jumping the little wave.
haha my husband could jump the big one.
Not me.
My cute mother in law and I.
The boys made fun of our hats but they were the best things!
 The pools are amazing! If any of you have been there you will know!
There are about five slides that go from pool to pool until you get to the bottom.
It takes like 30 minutes to get all the way down and swim the lazy river!
 Ok it actually goes really fast, my father in law just caught us in slow motion.
My cute in laws!
 
Baby bump!!
The hotel sold shaved ice.
I was in heaven. 
:) :) :) my very best friend.
 
This was the only thing I couldn't participate in.
Ha i didn't think it would be very good for the belly.
But my husband went about 10 times on the Tarzan Rope Swing.
So he made up for me not being able to go
Virgin Lava Flow... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Luau night and the Grand Wailea! so so fun.
Of course Aaron and I were chosen to go up on stage and dance.
ha we tried hiding behind the 15 little kids in front.
So glad we perfected our hula skills
 :)
Part III to come!
