18 weeks & kicks

There were two major things this last week.  One - we moved.  Two - I felt full on baby kicks.

I am not sure if I am just getting old or if it was due to pregnancy but this move was extremely tiring. We started packing right away the first of January - a few boxes every couple of days.  But the last week was still a ton of work.  Constantly bending over with a small baby belly sucks.  I did get a break from packing by going out for a nice long brunch while Dan worked on some of the heavy lifting.  And I am really glad that we moved when we did and didn't wait until April 1st as I imagine it would have been even less fun at that point.  Anyways - glad it is over!  Now on to getting to work on the baby room...

While at work I felt full on- the real deal baby kicks.  I was caught by surprise and at first thought maybe it was something else until a few more kicks came along to wipe out any doubt.  These kicks followed a few swedish fish - baby likes candy.  I feel the kicks when I am sitting still and sometimes when I wake up during the night.

Side note - looking forward to being settled into our new place as taking these photos has been really challenging with boxes and crap everywhere.
