Waves...Not in the Water

Today I felt the waves.  I felt the waves inside of me.  I felt Bebe move for the first time.  I was laying on a lounge chair by the pool after a swim in the ocean when I felt him move. I think it was his way of telling me he loved the water.   It's the most beautiful feeling and I can't wait for more.

Vacation Time!

My family and close friends know that I have an obsession with Playa Del Carmen.  I fell in love the first time I visited in 2008 and even returned twice in 2009.  Last year I didn't go because there was wedding planning to take care of, and somewhere along the way the year ended without a honeymoon.  I was sooooo ready for a vacation this year (anywhere really), and then we found out about Bebe.   For about two minutes I thought we'd have to skip vacation again.   But then I thought, surely I'm not the first pregnant person to go on a vacation. The flight wouldn't be that long. And it's not like I'd be that far along in my pregnancy.  Let's just say I very easily convinced myself, talked it over with my Doctor, and got the approval to fly.

So as usual I took obsessive control of vacation planning and at 20 weeks pregnant, we made our way to Playa Del Carmen.  There was nothing more in the world that I wanted to do than get in the ocean while pregnant.  And it was a beautiful as I imagined.  I wanted Bebe to feel the waves, and he did, and he loved it. I know he did. :) 

20 Weeks Pregnant in Paradise. Couldn't be happier. 

I hope that we will be able to return next year and show Bebe the place that I love, where he first swam in the ocean. 

Boy or Girl?

Look at Our Big Bebe!! :)

And the little feet! I'm in love.

And drumroll please!.... 

It's a BOY!!! 

(See his little male parts on the last picture...highlighted by a green arrow? 

Yeah me neither. We're gonna take the Ultrasound Tech's word for it.)

We're are very excited that we are having a boy, but are even more grateful that everything looks normal and it appears we have a healthy boy on the way!
