Up until the halfway point, it seemed like this pregnancy was crawling by. I think I just really wanted to know what we were having, and was going crazy in anticipation of the big ultrasound. Now that it has come and gone, I think things are starting to speed up. Our new little boy's room has a fresh coat of sky blue paint and is ready to be decorated! I totally admire my "Team Green" friends who aren't going to find out their baby's sex until his/her birthday, but we just don't have that kind patience, I guess. Ha. I think it's really nice to be able to plan.
And speaking of planning, we think we know what his name is going to be. We're about 80% sure, and we're trying it on for size for a bit to see if it feels right. I do plan to share once we're positive it's the name. So keep an eye out for a name post, probably in the near future!
How far along? 21 weeks.
Due Date: January 6, 2012
Due Date: January 6, 2012
Total weight gain/loss: Last time I checked, I was still up about 8 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Loving my new Old Navy maternity pants!
Sleep: I'm still a bit restless at night, but sleeping pretty well for the most part.
Best moment this week: Having the nursery painted, thanks to my sweet hubby and brother-in-law who knocked it out in one day!

Movement: Feeling lots of movement, mostly in the evenings, and sometimes during the day at work. From last week's ultrasound, we know that baby is currently breech, so most of the kicks I feel are down pretty low, where his tiny feet are.
Food cravings: I just saw an ad for candy corn M&Ms and I'm intrigued.
Food aversions: Still not really into red meat.
Gender: It's a boy!
Labor Signs: Just some little aches and pains as my uterus stretches.
Belly Button in or out? In.
What I miss: Nothing this week, really. I am starting to relax and enjoy this pregnancy. I especially love watching the bump get bigger each week as this little boy grows!
What I am looking forward to: The arrival of the decals and furniture we've ordered for the nursery, so we can get it all decorated! Told you we were crazy about planning.
Milestones: Baby boy can now perceive the difference between light and dark from inside the womb, and he should be able to grip things, like the umbilical cord, which was right up by his face when we last saw him. :)

And just for fun... here is 19 month old big brother Colin strutting around the backyard yesterday. We are thankful for some beautiful, sunny, late August afternoons!
