Weeks 20/21: Cancun Babymoon

The last couple of weeks have been pretty great.  We had an ultrasound last Wednesday, and...IT'S A BOY!!!!  Not only that, he has all his standard body parts with nothing extra and a good, strong heart beat.  And apparently has inherited his dad's big feet.





Then, last Thursday, we left for a quick vacation to Cancun.  It was wonderful to get away for awhile with no textbooks or work to bring along with us.  The weather was a wide mix of sunny, humid, cloudy, rainy, and windy; but it was always warmer than Cincinnati, so still worth it.  We made good use of the all-inclusive features of the resort and got some good quality relaxation in.




How far along: 21 weeks, 5 days
Days until due date: 128
Baby: The size of a pomegranate and a very busy wiggler.   We are super excited to be having a boy and had fun lying on the beach in Cancun, thinking about baby boy names.
Total weight gain: 3.5 lbs - chunking up!
Total belly growth: 5.5". Sweat pants are my wardrobe of choice these days.  And the belly is getting much harder to miss.
What I miss: Hot tubs.  I long for a good, hot soak.
Cravings: Baked goods, all day every day.
Symptoms: Growing pains in the belly and hips.  Sitting in a hot tub would probably help :-)
What Scott’s been up to: Working hard at the bank and de-cluttering our house to make room for baby.  It's fun to see boxes of old junk leaving rather than coming in!
