Staying for approximately 3mths - Suggestions?

Hola everyone...
Am expecting a baby in late Sept and then will travel with babe in late December to the DR to be with Husband while we await his visa to Canada. Was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to where I could find relatively reasonable accomodation for the 3 of us for the 3 mths in the Puerto Plata area? Also, will there be a problem for me and the babe to stay that long in the DR without obtaining a "special" visa etc?
Any info on this is much appreciated.
Also - once there, would love to meet up with some of the Board regulars...you all sound like wonderful people.
For the Heynes...am going to start a small collection to take down with me for "your" kiddies, ie. uniforms and school supplies.
For Noelle at sofy's B&B - kept promising the hubby that we have to go to your B&B for a cdn breakfast. He's dying for pancakes!
Gracias in advance everyone

For Troy - weather update

Hi Troy...
Took the info off of Debbiesdominicanrepublic website...so the credit has to go to Debbie.

What will the weather be like in the Dominican Republic?

Generally, the temperatures are hot during the day. Many of the days are a mixture of sun and clouds, the clouds being a welcome relief from the hot sun. In the evening you may need a light sweater. The chart below shows you the average temperatures for each month. January is the coldest month, and August is the hottest month. There is no real rainy season in the DR, it can rain at any time during the year. Much of the time the rain occurs overnight or as a brief afternoon shower.
