While I was in La Jolla with my parents and sister, we found the dreamiest little cove where my sister shot some maternity swim photos for me! I was nearing the end of the 5th month of my pregnancy when we shot these and I am now about 25 weeks pregnant. I love how these photos turned out and I felt beautiful while showing off my baby bump! It has been truly astonishing watching my belly grow, especially in the second trimester where it’s really started growing rapidly. The first trimester I felt like I just look bloated lol but now it’s quite obvious I’m pregnant. What our bodies can do to grow a baby is so incredible.

I had another appointment for my pregnancy this week and I couldn’t believe that I was 24 weeks pregnant. I am in my sixth month of pregnancy so in just a few more months, baby boy will be here. So wild! I have done a few fashion photo shoots recently styling my new Nisolo boots for fall, so I thought I would share them in a 2nd trimester maternity style blog post! I will hopefully be sharing a few more maternity style posts throughout the remainder of my pregnancy so be sure to check back for those.

A few months late, but I am finally sharing my first trimester recap! I’m currently 21 weeks into my pregnancy and life has been so busy. Luckily during a lot of my first trimester, I was able to take things slow, take naps, and meditate which was much needed because of all the symptoms I was feeling (more on that later in this post). Going into my second trimester, life got much busier! Between creating content for my social media business, researching + creating a baby registry, pregnancy symptoms, pregnancy appointments, trying to make time for self care, and making time for my relationship… my plate has been super full. I’m hoping things will slow down a little bit soon and I’m trying to focus on how lucky I am to be pregnant. Getting back to it, in this bog post, I wanted to share some of the pregnancy symptoms I experienced, things that helped with them, and my must have items for the first trimester!

Our First Baby Gender Reveal

By Esperanza on August 26, 2023

I have been dying to share our baby’s gender since we announced our pregnancy two weeks ago. It’s usually recommended to wait until you are past the first trimester to share pregnancy news. We waited until I was about 4 months pregnant and it was so hard keeping it a secret because I wanted to shout it from the rooftops but we wanted to make sure our risk of miscarriage was far enough behind us after having had an early miscarriage when we first started trying to get pregnant. I have known the baby’s gender for about a month now so the wait to share that news was much shorter at least!
