Made it Half Way!
How far along? 21 weeks and 4 days
Total weight gain/loss: 12 pounds up
Maternity clothes? Yes, I've bought a few fun tops from Target....haven't bought maternity pants yet though. I have used this awesome new accessory called the "Bella Band", which is an elastic belt you wear around your waist when you can't button your pant/shorts. It's so awesome! Great invention...
Sleep: I was very energetic the beginning of my second trimester....but I've noticed these past few weeks I'm starting to get tired again...I've been lazy all week.
Best moment: Finding out we were having a baby boy was the most amazing moment ever!! Our dinner on the patio was so sweet when we got to open the envelope. Having our family and friends over to announce the surprise via the pinata was a special moment as well!! Lots of emotions....all I can think about now is this sweet little boy that is going to be in my life.
Movement: He's a very active little boy!! Last night I could see the movement from the outside of my stomach!! It was so fun to watch!
Food cravings: No major food cravings...I am just always in the mood for a good home cooked meal (no junk!)
Morning sickness: None! ;-)
Mood Changes: I still think I'm a little sensitive at times... ;-)
Aches & Pains: I'm still experiencing occasional lower back pain...I think alot of it has to do with me over-doing it and wearing high heals. I just cannot retire them yet though.
Gender: A Sweet Little BOY!!!!
Belly Button in or out? Still in, but it's making it's way out.
Stretch Marks? No.... I've been religious at applying Cocoa Butter every morning and night, so hopefully that helps prevent some at least.
What I miss: Nothing really....I enjoy being pregnant!
What I am looking forward to: Decorating the nursery! I already have some ideas in mind...can't wait to share.
Wisdom: I've been talking to tons of new moms lately and they've been giving me great advice....I will post a recap of the advice I've been given in a separate post.
Milestones: Finding out we're having a little boy, sharing the news with our family and friends, feeling him kick, seeing him kick on the outside, buying that first precious little boy outfit, and making it half way!

Baby Millhouse Gender Celebration
We had our family and friends over last night to celebrate Scott's birthday and to reveal the gender of baby Millhouse. It was an awesome night and it felt so good to be surrounded by all those we love! Scott and I filled a pinata of full of blue frill and boy stuff and the kiddos took turns hitting it until it finally broke open and the secret was revealed. Everyone was in suspense and tears were in the air as the blue spilled out of the pinata. It was so emotional (for all us girls at least!) because it was such a happy surprise! Here are a few pictures from the night.
Mom and Dad with the pinata!

20 Week Ultrasound Update/Pics
Sooooo......I have the surprise in an envelope in my purse!! It is really hard to concentrate right now at work knowing we'll get to find out in a few hours when we get home! Oh goodness. ;-)
The appointment went very well today...the ultrasound was really in depth and they measured every little thing to make sure it was on target. They counted 10 tiny fingers and 10 tiny toes, made sure all the body parts were there, in the right places, and measured acurately, etc. It looks like we'll be having a very healthy baby because everything was spot on...what a blessing that is!! The baby actually measured a few days bigger then 20 weeks and 2 days, so they said my due date could actually be sometime in late November. But for now, they're still keeping the due date at December 5th to be safe. Heartbeat was at 144 beats per minute.
Here are some cute pics from today's visit (they also gave me a gender shot, but it's in a separate file on the CD they gave me so I am not going to view it yet! I'll send it once we let the surprise out this weekend!)
