Hi - How are you and your adorble liltte girl? 

Did you go to Aruba when you where pregnant?  If so, what kind of things did you do while there.  We booked it prior to get pregnant and i think i might need to pass on something of the things i had planned while there.   Were going at begining  of the month and i'll only be like 10 weeks when we go.

I went when I was 5 months pg. The only thing I really had a hard time with were the casinos. Everyone smokes in them. I also couldn't do most of the water sports. But I did go snorkeling.?

We took the bus tour around the island & it was nice. I also did a lot of shopping. If you go downtown, just know that the prices are because it's a tourist trap. If you talk to some locals, they'll tell you where to really shop.

Where are you staying? The hyatt has a water slide, that I wasn't able to go on But they have an ice cream shop & juice bar. ?

Thanks for the info.  I'm glad about the snorkeling we had planned on doing that.  I wanted to do the Jeep tour but, now I'm thinking it might be too rough while pg.  

Were staying at the Mariott Ocean Club.  It's a Time share that our friend gave us.   We have a kitchen and all that stuff so it will be nice to re heat left over and stuff.

I was visibly showing & wasn't allowed to do the jeep tour. ?

There is a little restaurant place in between the mariott ?and the holiday inn. I can't for the life of me remember what it's called, but the food was awesome!! And the breakfast was really nice. And not to expensive. We also stole their wifi while we were down there. LOL ?There's also a restaurant on a pier off the beach near the holiday inn. The food there was awesome too.?

We also went across the street to see the waterfall show. Every night is different. ?The all you can eat place wasn't worth the money. Al always gelato over the ice cream down there. It's much better.?

Definitely bring a blow up float. You're allowed to bring them in the water and if you rent one they're like $10 a day or like $25 to buy them. We ended up buying them because we forgot ours at home.?

You're gonna have a lot of fun. Let me know if you have any other questions. ?

I figured the jeep tour was out oh well. More money to shop with.....  

Thanks for all the information.  I'm going to pick up some books this weekend so I'll let you know if i have any questions.

Anytime. You don't really need any books for aruba. The island isn't that big.?

Just bring change for the bus and don't listen to the front desk people about the bus schedule. They're always wrong.?
