6 Months/26 Weeks!

Thankfully, this week was much less eventful on the health front for me.  I made it through the week without feeling like I was going to pass out, and that made me happy.  I was able to keep working out and overall, felt good doing it.  I even ran 3 whole miles on Monday.  Was I so slow I probably could have walked faster?  Yes, but the point is that I did it.  I had to pull Ellie along with me toward the end, and that made me feel a lot better.  I might not be able to keep up with most people, but at least I can keep up with my dog. 

I hit the 6 month pregnancy mark on Thursday, May 27th, and I was 26 weeks as of Friday, May 28th.  I'm feeling great and definitely getting bigger.  One new thing this week I noticed is how well I can SEE little mister moving around in my belly.   One day this week, I looked down and it was like a wave was moving across my belly, almost as if baby was doing sommersalts in there.  I have no idea if it's normal to have a baby move around so much at this stage, but he seems to me to be extra active.  If the trend holds true after he's born, we may have a little mover and shaker on our hands. 

One of the big things on my agenda this week has been trying to get my registries in good order.  I've met with a number of good friends who have had babies to get their advice, and it's been really helpful.  I even ordered this book to help me navigate through all this stuff:

It's just still hard to know what I need and don't need.  I know I shouldn't stress over it too much, but the whole thing is just a little overwhelming to me.   I'm hoping to get it finished out soon!
