Babysitting our Niece

Took me a while, but I'm finally getting around to posting photos of my day babysitting my niece last week. I also get her this week and Uncle Kevin took the day off to join us! We sure are looking forward to another fun day with our beautiful niece Natalie. She was such a good girl--she talked to me and smiled a lot. What a blessing!

She loved staring at herself in the mirror

Auntie what are you doing?

And she's out!

She loved the swing! Hope our baby loves it just as much!

She liked kicking the ball with her foot, she even dropped her rattle to do so!

Bruiser & Natalie feeling each other out--I think she likes him (and I KNOW he loves her)

There it is!

She LOVED sitting in my lap and staring at the dog... she is so observant now!

Thank you Natalie for a wonderful day and Thank you to Mommy & Daddy for trusting us with your beautiful daughter. Miss Natalie--Auntie and Uncle look forward to seeing you again this week! We'll be resting up and counting down...

Therapy...

Not being silent about our loss is looking to be the best therapy for me during this difficult time. Through Facebook I've had countless friends reach out to me and share their stories of loss. Although it doesn't make me feel better, as we're talking about too many babies in heaven, it does make me feel less alone. So I was diagnosed w/ blighted ovum. Meaning the gestational sac and placenta was growing inside of me (the ultrasound showed it was indeed around 7 weeks along) but the baby stopped developing and was reabsorbed into my uterus. Problem is, the placenta is responsible for pregnancy symptoms, so my body still thinks it is pregnant, but there is no longer a baby or embryo. So, until I actually miscarry the tissue, I will feel pregnant. I don't know how to explain how I've been feeling the past few weeks. At first I thought it was just my uneasy feelings of this pregnancy being "unplanned" and so close to my previous pregnancy. It took me a wh...

25 Weeks & Doctor's Appt.

We hit the 25 week mark today! Hard to believe! Time is flying so fast... We had our doctor's appointment today (Kevin is out of town Thursday, so we moved it up). I weighed in at a whopping 109.8! My nurse and my doctor's response was they are so so proud of me (I felt so special! Who would have thought GAINING weight would be so exciting?!). Kevin's response "WHOA!" And my response to his "WATCH IT Buddy!" Ha! So that's almost 14lbs of weight gain! I really am quite proud of myself... never thought I could do it (although, I spend most of my time eating these days, so it makes sense). The nurse said I "look cute, am starting to show and have that pregnancy waddle." Considering I did not feel like I was waddling (sometimes I have to because my tailbone hurts so bad) I was not exactly thrilled about this comment, lol! I asked Kevin if there is something he is forgetting to tell me... ha! The doctor measured my...
