Mommy's Day & Showers of Love

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mommy's & Mommy's-to-Be! 

Today I celebrated my first Mommy's Day!  Although I insisted I'm not a mom yet, Kevin said I more than qualify.  Yesterday we went back to where our relationship first started (the pier) and took some more maternity photos with our amateur photographer.  We returned home for lunch, then Kevin took me out for a day of shopping and then to dinner (I was craving Chinese--yummy!).  We capped off the night with a chick-flick I really wanted to see.  It was a lovely day/evening! 

This morning I was served banana pancakes in bed and treated to a day of help with housework--vacuuming, cleaning the dishes, loading/unloading the dishwasher and he even helped with the laundry (poor guy really wanted to do this entire chore for me, but he has really bad luck with it, so he helped fold it).  He also installed little man's car seat base in the car and taught me how to do it and finished painting shelves for the nursery!  For dinner he made me lasagna from scratch--yummy!  Unfortunately, recruiting work called so Mommy's Day was cut a bit short (but I didn't mind--I had a lovely weekend).  

Speaking of lovely, last weekend Baby F was SHOWERED with LOVE!  My sister hosted a beautiful baby shower for us.  It was wonderful--I had a great time!   Many friends/family attended and those that were unable still sent their love, support and wishes our way.  I left Hanford that weekend feeling so blessed and loved.  We are so grateful to the amazing family/friends we have!  Here are some photos of all the fun:

Guests

Thank you to everyone who attended--it was a blast.  Thank you to everyone for the gifts--ALL of it was much appreciated and will really help us out.  Thank you to all of our friends who sent their love/gifts/support from all over the place!  We are so very blessed and so very grateful.  Thanks is truly not enough.

Well, this mommy is tired so we'll close with a few photos taken over the past few weeks.  Enjoy!

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...
