Well, we are back from our incredible "honeymoon" (only a little late) and are feeling rested and happy. We enjoyed many days at the pool and at the beach, as well as some great trips around the island sightseeing. We had a wonderful trip, desptie the awful trip home (took almost 24 hours total). You can imagine my ankles, but it wasn't just mine - Geoffrey suffered from the same problem, almost workse than mine! No pictures of that

This photo was taken at about 18 and a half weeks. Not sure if it is the baby or all the pina coladas that make my belly so big. For the first time in my life, I don't really care!!!! I have posted more photos on Facebook if you are interested in some trip photos.

Today marks the start of week 20 - halfway there! That seems unreal that it is only half way...

A very "BIG" day!

I am calling this a big day because this photo makes me look enormous. And, yes, I AM enormous! But it is also a big day because we had our amniocentisis done, and all went well with no complications. Huge relief. I was so scared of having this done, and now that it is over I have a huge weight off of me.

It is also a big day because we found out the sex of the baby. We weren't sure if we would, as the ultrasound was meant to be quick and only to aid in the amnio procedure. But, baby was very visible - must be the three litres of water I drank - and incredibly active. This meant that we could see ALL angles, and which meant that we saw parts that kind of gave it away.

So the jig is up - we are having a little boy! There is the biggest news of all, making this one of the biggest days of our lives. We are so excited and can't wait to meet our little "cupcake" (maybe we will have to stop calling him that...)

No names will be provided for you, we will let that be a surprise to all once the little man is out. Hard to believe I am not even half way...really, another 4 and a half months to wait for a name??? Yes, you'll just have to wait!

Anyways, the photo is after a day of resting, so forgive the sleepy face and hair - I suspect that there will be many more days that leave me looking this way. Hard to be vain when you are preggers! I guess I'll be taking down the poll now...they really were neck-in-neck, with "girl" being ever so slightly ahead. Hooray for those that picked boy - so smart!

Time to go rest some more, love to all!
