14 weeks and pre-season football

Here we are entering our second trimester. I'm surprised how quickly it's gone by especially with all the not-so-fun symptoms I've experienced. I'm no longer feeling nauseous thank the lord... Still feeling tired though, but am randomly getting spurts of energy here and there which is a nice change! 

Baby is a size of a 

I just love this new app! I remember when I was pregnant with Brandon my theme was fruits. These pastries are just too cute and fitting now that I have a major sweet tooth! 

Yesterday baby got to experience his/her first ever Seahawks game. Although we lost it was still great to spend time with Nikki and Annie. It's always a treat when I'm with them. Thank you Nikki for the invite. It was a great kickoff to what I feel will be another amazing season and an even better trimester! Go Hawks! 

This little macaroon...

I've realized that I haven't really updated on our new baby on the way. We are thrilled to start another new adventure in our lives. Josh and I were talking about how we get to experience another round of '1st' again. First smile, first time rolling over, and first time walking. Those were all the milestones that we loved with Brandon and know that it will still be as exciting if not more this time with Brandon experiencing it with us. 

Baby is going to be 14 weeks tomorrow and is currently a size of a 

So cute! What's not so cute was how hard this first trimester was. This pregnancy is different in every way for me. I was more sick this time around. That was what triggered me to take a pregnancy test the second time... Well that and realizing I was 2 weeks late for

my period. My bump also made an a super early appearance this time which I was a little self conscious about, because fitting out of your normal pants after only being 8 weeks pregnant is super normal right?! We announced our news a little early this time, cause I couldn't hide my bulge anymore, oh and I quickly realized wearing a sweater in the middle of summer makes people wonder even more. I also got the 'oh my gosh you look pregnant, but don't want to ask you cause maybe I could be wrong' look  👀 A LOT! I usually would just tell them just to save the awkwardness. 

Along with the nausea and awkwardly getting big super fast... I'm also super tired, always, all the time, every second. I'm sure that raising a toddler also plays a big role in why I wanna take a nap under my desk at work sometimes. Any day that I can get a nap in is a great day. I am super thankful that Brandon still naps. The best thing he says to me lately is 'Hey mommy, wanna go upstairs and relax?' Oh my sweet little Brandon. Yes, a thousand times, YES! 

Brandon the marine biologist

Brandon's new favorite show is currently The Octonauts.

 So he's been very curious about anything that swims. Josh and I are currently being challenged on our marine biology knowledge. Which we have realized is not so well. This week Brandon has been really wanting us to take him to the aquarium. The last thing you ever want to do as a parent is to disappoint your child, but with our crazy schedule it just wasn't going to happen. So we decided to take him to our local petsmart and carkeek park! Petsmart have a huge section of fish, frogs, and turtles to look at. He was pretty excited about it. 

We also decided to take him to carkeek park where they had this awesome salmon slide that he loved!

It was a great day yesterday. We were sad that we had to cut it short cause Josh had to go to work, but non the less it was a great afternoon! 

Daddy and Brandon

Lately I can't help but think that this little boy is going to be someone's big brother. Dearest little person in my belly, you are in for a treat 😘
