Warning!! This May Look Painful...

36 weeks, 3 days

& it is! Ha! To make matters worse it was an extremely hot day here today--supposedly only reached 79 in our neck of the woods, but our living room is upstairs and the hottest part of the house. At one point I'd say it was at least 85 degrees up here (Kevin says it may have reached 90) with absolutely no air flow! Not so nice for someone 9 months pregnant. So mommy threw her hair up--anyone who knows me knows I prefer wearing my hair down (I feel I must mention this, it's my excuse for looking AWFUL in the photos!).

I endured it until Kevin finally got home and took me to the hardware store to buy a cooler. Now I'm sitting in my nice cool living room... ah! All I need now is--my sweet baby boy in my arms! Come on Baby F... we're waiting for you!!! We love you sweet boy & are so ANXIOUS to meet you.

Just a reminder to get your guesses in at the Baby Pool:

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...
