CANTALOUPE: Both Deadly and Delicious

Hooray for Week 20!  Besides being at the pregnancy halfway point, this is also the time when many new parents finally find out the sex of their baby.  With all the little bits and pieces fully formed, the ultrasound scheduled for next week should put all the speculation and predictions of silly old wives tales to rest.

It's ironic that the baby is now the length of a cantaloupe.  The shortness of breath, watery eyes, and rosy cheeks aren't hormones acting up...it's Mommy's allergies!  Yep, this melon in particular brings her a wave of symptoms that only Benadryl can soothe.  While Daddy is able to enjoy this delicious fruit with a smile, any bean products consumed as a child used to bring on Joe Abello sized asthma attacks.  It really makes you wonder if your offspring will be cursed with the same unfortunate reactions.  We're still keeping our fingers crossed that the only thing Baby Campos will be allergic to is that sucky state up north that keeps Texas from falling into the gulf.  Ahh-choo!
