First Father's Day & One Week Old!

Liam & Bruiser with their Amazing Dad!

We weren't too active this Dad's Day but Liam and mommy tried to make Kevin's first Daddy's Day as special as could be. We went out to dinner on Saturday night (we're big on getting out and about before the actual event day).

Sunday morning mommy woke up and fed/diapered/dressed up Liam. Then Liam presented Daddy with a handsome Father/Son framed photograph for Daddy's desk at work (mommy failed to get a photo of the gift--oops!). Then, we served Daddy breakfast with coffee (not the norm around here). Bruiser & Porky gave Daddy their card (they bought him a gift a few weeks ago).

The rest of the day was spent pampering daddy (as much as possible w/ a one week old newborn!).
Liam and Daddy played, hung out, watched all of daddy's favorite programs and we even watched Top Gun (daddy wanted mommy to see why he calls Liam "Maverick")...

Here are some photos of the days happenings:

Liam loves the lights & music

Kevin/Dad we love you so much. We are so grateful to have you. Mommy says you're a WONDERFUL Father and she enjoys watching us interact with one another. You're going to be a wonderful role model for me. We love you so much! Thanks for all you do!

To Grandpa Snowden and Grandpa Fagundes--Happy Dad's Day (sorry we're a little late). Without you we would not be here. Thanks for starting us out on this journey...

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...
