This week was pretty average!  I had some added stress at work, combined with a plethora of additional hormones didn't equal a great work week, but I managed!  My prenatal yoga is always a huge stress reliever at the end of the work week that I really enjoy.

No progress on the nursery still, waiting on funds.  Boo!  I stayed pretty active also this week!

After my 2 mile run!

Filling my ABUs out quite nicely!

Walked 3 miles with the pup

On Wednesday I was sitting at my desk midst a conversation with coworkers when all of a sudden I felt Norah's first actually kicks!  I immediately stopped, fished my hand under my ABU blouse to get a better feel and just couldn't help but smile.  For about 5 minutes all I did was focus on Norah and her first sweet little kicks.  It was amazing.  I'm smiling now just typing this!  I immediately emailed the baby-daddy, and we both can't wait for her to kick him as well.  I felt it again the next day, but not since.  It's my absolute favorite feeling this far and so comforting.  I'm really enjoying being pregnant thus far!

6 months and going strong!
