I'm pregnant! And a few recent photos...

I am excited to announce that I am pregnant with baby #2! We are excited for this new chapter in our family's life.  I found out back in April when I noticed I missed my cycle by a week.  I had Alex stop by and pick up a few pregnancy tests because I was pretty sure I was.  It's funny how the second time around, I noticed the symptoms almost right away.  Of course, it was still a shock.  We have been talking about having another child in the near future, just didn't realize how fast it would happen.  We are ready though, can't wait to see Masha with her little brother or sister. 
 
I'm finally starting to feel like myself again.  Still, I have moments of nausea, but I'm hoping it all passes soon.  I had pretty intense fatigue as well, and it definitely is harder taking care of a toddler and being pregnant.  I'm thankful for my husband and parents for helping out.  It makes it much easier with support.  I remember for a couple weeks, I couldn't even step into my kitchen because of my increased sense of smell.  I would start washing the dishes and run to the bathroom :( Thank goodness that is over.  My energy is picking up and I'm hoping to document my growing baby bump. 
 
Here are a few photos from last couple weeks.
