Professional Mama!

After 5 years of toiling away at my job I've finally been given the thumbs up from my company to apply for my P.Eng.!

On Monday Oct. 18th I made a presentation to two of the partners at my company and they said that I "presented myself confidently and professionally". The following day I got the email confirmation saying that they would support my professional application! Woohoo!!

I have to admit it feels pretty good to finally reach this goal that I have had in mind for so many years :) Hopefully I can get all my work experience submitted and tests taken before the baby arrives in January!

24 weeks!

I've hit the 6 month mark and I'm still feeling pretty good :) It's funny that this photo seems to make my belly look smaller than it actually is....or feels rather. And, with renovations under full swing (more to come in future blogs) I've started to notice that turning sideways to get through tight spaces no longer works like it used to!

As for the little bun in the oven, he or she has become quite the little kicker. Perhaps all this kickboxing during pregnancy is rubbing off! We've got a ninja in training :) The baby also seems to respond quite happily to the sound of Daddy Tim's voice, it seems when he talks to my belly the movements come more frequently.

For now it seems that this is somewhat of a boring pregnancy, but I'm more than happy to be sailing through it thus far :) We'll continue to keep you posted as we go!
