The nausea and vomiting has yet to settle down. Next week I make two months and by then I'll start to show a little bit. I'm pretty excited, and nervous, to say the least. Every pregnancy is different, but I really don't know what to expect from this one.

Ben is currently in Orlando to play the Magic this evening. It's a 4:00 game that I might watch, considering how well the nausea can hold up. I really just can't wait until all of this sickness goes away. Things aren't going to get any better, but the more I take care of myself, the better I'll be.

Jasmine is on her way over, so I walked into Liam's room and carried him downstairs with me. I took him into the kitchen because he was probably hungry. I've been testing different foods with him so far and it's safe to say he's not a fan of Carrots or Peas. Then again, all babies are not big fans of vegetables. I make him eat them anyway because it helps with growth...and Gerber is NOT cheap.

Obviously I'm aware he's going to be somewhere between 6'1" and 6'5" by the time he reaches High School, but veggies are important. My mom tells me all the time how much she struggled to get me to eat my vegetables growing up. But don't all moms have that struggle?

I get a text from Jasmine saying that she's here and I make my way to the door. Bane and Sophie beat me to it though, as well as Ben's other dog Milo. I forgot what breed he is, but he's super sweet.

I just open the door when the dogs playfully attack her as a greeting.

"Hey guys!" She exclaims, showing them all some kind of love. They love when they receive attention.

I grin and close the door behind her, then make my way back into the kitchen. She follows after me, with the dogs trotting after her.

"Hi Liam!" She exclaims, walking over to him.

He smiles, holding his arms out to her. Anything to get out of eating his vegetables. She takes him out of the high chair and kisses his forehead. I shake my head and go to make myself something to eat. The game starts in about an hour and I want to be comfortable enough to watch it through.

"How's this second pregnancy going so far?" Jasmine asked.

"The same as usual." I shrug. "Vomiting, soreness. You name it, I've had it."

She chuckles at that. "I can't speak on that, but I'm sure those are normal symptoms."

"I just can't believe I have to go through it again." I frown.

"Well what did you expect? You and Ben fuck like wild rabbits." She said.

I choke on my saliva in shock.

She did not just say that.

"Jasmine!" I scold playfully.

She laughs. I turn to face her and see that she's putting Liam back into his chair. Then she starts to feed him and he eats his food with no problem. I just blink in disbelief.

He would've done the same thing if it was Ben.

We talk and eat for about half an hour, before we're sitting down on the couch to watch the game. Liam is in his playpen playing with his toys while the dogs surround him protectively. Bane was sitting next to me though.

Throughout the course of the game, Ben was showing his ass. I was excited because he's been doing his thing for a while now. I'm surprised it took people this long to notice. Then again, you have other big names in the league that have quite a strong hold on the people. Ben is one of those athletes though.
