Chasing Dreams & Catching Life: 21 Week Bumpdate

We are officially over halfway there and I'm not shy to say that I am starting to count down the weeks. I'm not one who loves being pregnant in the first place, but I can't wait to have this little man in my arms :)

How Far Along: 21 Weeks
Weight Gain: 10 lbs
Gender: BOY! It's still sinking in :) We are so excited, and have done some shopping in the little man section. I always thought it was way more fun to dress a little girl but OMG the boy clothes are cute!
Cravings: Chocolate chip cookies, sour peach rings, and sugary cereal. We currently have Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes and Capn Crunch in the pantry - yikes.
Maternity Clothes: Yes, and SO ready for Fall weather so I can toss these maternity shorts and T-shirts that I am sick to death of. Bring on leggings and big comfy sweater season!
Looking Forward To: Starting to accumulate more baby stuff for our boy, and getting his nursery all ready.
NOT Looking Forward To: Getting out my pump and washing all the parts. Just the sight of it in the closet makes me shudder. I hate that thing and the noise it makes when it's running...all I hear is wacko wacko wacko!
Getting Our Lives Ready: The crib arrived today! Woo Hoo! And I have 3 shades of green painted on the wall, trying to decide but I'm so indecisive.
Feeling: A little overwhelmed but oh so happy :) Baby boy has been super active and Chris has felt him a handful of times! He's especially active in the morning and has actually woken me up the past couple of days! A sign of things to come? I think so!

This week has been filled with lots of walks around our neighborhood now that the weather has cooled down a little big. Laila insists on holding the leash.

Laila has been pulling herself up on anything and everything she can get her hands on lately, which I'm stoked about since I have to get my girl walking by the time her brother is born!
