It's a boy!!!

Caleb Reid Schwaber is halfway done cooking and things are looking great.

We were so excited to find out that he was a boy this week. I kind of thought that the baby was a boy, so I can't say I was surprised, but we were both so happy. Everything looked great at the ultrasound. Caleb is healthy and growing just fine.
We had a party to announce the gender and celebrate the halfway point with some of our friends. For the party we had some cupcakes made up with blue pudding inside. First everyone guessed boy or girl, and then we ate the cupcakes. It was fun to watch everyone bite into the cupcakes and be surprised.
We also finished the registry this week and set a date for the baby shower! I can't wait! Carrie is already doing a great job with the planning, so I'm sure it's going to be an awesome time. I bought another cute outfit for Caleb this week, and one of my friends, Aydan, also bought Caleb an adobrable sailboat outfit. He's already getting a little wardrobe!
Aunt Elayna got this cute bib for the baby as well:

Also, I found this adorable Sock Monkey at Halmark that is nearly the same color scheme as we will use for the nursery.
I felt Caleb kicking pretty much every day this week. His kicks are getting stronger and more regular. Hopefully soon Ethan will be able to feel them.
Here is the baby update for the week:
How far along: 20 weeks, 2 days. HALFWAY!!
Sleep: I had a couple rough days this week but made up for it this weekend
Best Moment This Week: Finding out that baby is a boy
Movement: Feeling kicks every day!
Food Cravings: Not really, but I feel like I ate a ton this week! I might need to cut back on the pigging out, but we'll see how the weight is at the next appointment
Belly Button: Innie. I'm sort of doubting whether this will ever change.
What I miss most: Not having a headache. I've had a headache all week. Ugh!
What I'm looking forward to: Starting decorating the nursery
This Week: Baby is the size of a cantaloupe. Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation...baby's genitals are now fully formed!
