17 weeks

How far along? 17 weeks
Sleep? Getting overheated at night, getting up to use the restroom. Otherwise, sleep has been pretty good.
Symptoms? The past few weeks, I've just been tired and having regular headaches.
Food cravings? Watermelon, cucumbers, lemons. I cannot get enough lemon.
Food aversions? Nothing really. Sometimes things don't sound as good as normal, especially healthy food, but nothing that completely repulses me.
Labor signs? Braxton Hicks every now and then.
Belly button in or out? In, but I can tell it's getting closer to the surface.
What I miss? Having more energy
What I'm looking forward to? I can't believe we are only three weeks away from being halfway through. I'm trying to enjoy every stage of this pregnancy and it is going so quickly.
Milestones? We had our second appointment today at 17 weeks. Everything looked great, heartbeat with 150bpm! We also bought a toddler bed for Gideon and have started clearing out our office to make space for his new room.
High? The past few weeks have been more relaxed since we heard the heartbeat and passed the first trimester milestone. It's been nice to focus on other things.
Low? I was hoping to feel more energetic like I did with Gideon, but that hasn't happened yet. I have a feeling it is just going to be different this time. Pregnancy with a toddler is a whole different experience.
Bump? Definitely there! Depending on the shirt, it's harder to see. But I'm starting to feel more worn out and struggling more to get around. The other night, I was laying down by Grant and he had to help push me up. I'm finally filling out my maternity clothes more, which is nice. I've been wearing them for several weeks, because, well, they're pretty darn comfy!

 Well, this pic was taken at 16 weeks and I've definitely popped out more in the past week. But, let's be honest, I'm doing good just to be typing this update right now, so we'll take what we can get! I am hoping that life will get back to normal a bit more. I read through my posts with Gideon and it was right around 16 weeks that I started feeling better. That's actually encouraging to me, as we've had a crazy summer and I'm chasing around a two year old on a daily basis.
