23 Weeks

By
We're 23 weeks pregnant--time is flying by!  The other night Kevin and I sat here discussing just how fast the pregnancy seems to be progressing (feels like just a few weeks ago I was taking a pregnancy test that revealed two pink lines!).  Upon realizing this, I decided it was time to roll up our sleeves and start working at getting everything ready for little Mr.!  

The nursery bedding set is here, so we're slowly working on that project a little each night after Kevin gets off work.  I've also been putting the finishing touches on the baby registry since I have been asked about it so many times!  Other than that, not too much going on around here.  The energy draining bug has caught up with me again, but I hear baby is going through a major growth spurt so we're attributing it to that! 

Also, nesting is kicking in--I am currently in the process of cleaning all of the baseboards in the entire house!  The 'normal' chores were done a few days ago, so I had to find something else to clean!  Kevin thinks I am going crazy; I just want the house in perfect condition before our little guy arrives.  Other plans include organizing the house, preparing for a yard sale (making room for baby), cleaning out the basement and forcing Kevin to tidy up the garage!  Wish us Luck!

Finally, I just realized I forgot to post a few of my favorite photos from our last session!  I'll close with those for today.
 
We love you little guy, so very very much!

Mommy to Be is all smiles!

Laughing hysterically at Kevin who is shocked to see the baby moving (look to the left of my tummy, it's lopsided)

Therapy...

By
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.

By
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...
