17 Weeks

17 weeks along and I can finally say I'm feeling good! Well, I have for the past 2 weeks but I've been a little busy! I've found that if I am consistent with taking my prenatal vitamins every night then I don't get any headaches and have a good amount of energy. But if I skip taking them, then about 2 days after I skipped one I'll have a bad day with headaches and fatigue. It's nice to know I can actively do something about how I was feeling and it's a good motivation to take the vitamins (I was not very good at remembering to take them...).

The past 2 weeks or so were insanely busy with trying to get ready for the Light of Christmas boutique. As always, I told myself I would work on my products all throughout the year but didn't start until a week before the boutique was happening. Throw in there hosting the annual non-Halloween Halloween party and spending a day down in San Diego with Sheena to see the So You Think You Can Dance tour and the day the boutique was over I slept 13 hours! But it was a fun week regardless of them not doing "I Got You" and the rain and cold that threatened the boutique. One big perk was that my mom came to help get the house ready for the party which meant my shower and kitchen sink got really good scrubbings!

Now that I feel like I'm finally showing enough to not just look chubby (hehe) I need to take some preggo belly pictures. Oh! And that reminds me, I'm SOOO super excited to have scheduled my maternity photo session with an old friend. It's not until March but I've been waiting for a reason to take a real family photo session every since my wedding. Learned the hard way then that pictures are worth investing in so this time around I'm not skimping.
