16 weeks & teething?!

I really didn't believe Kevin when he said he thought Liam was teething, but perhaps he is right?!  Liam is chewing on everything (his paci, toys, his thumb/fist, your fingers, frozen washcloths, etc.).  He is VERY fussy (which is rare with him, usually the only time he fusses is when he has missed a nap or didn't nap long enough!). 
Liam you are chewing on anything & everything!

It makes you feel better... poor baby
 Lately he's fussing and crying out in pain, so I've been giving him teething tablets that really seem to do the trick!  They sure calm him down.  I really cannot believe it, but we're looking for teeth in there.  His gums have changed (there are little ridges, lots of white buds and they're no longer "flat").  I have no idea if this is normal or not.  I plan to ask at his 4-month well baby check up in 2 weeks.


I love this lil' face.

Who me, mom?!

My poor little guy.  I honestly cannot believe this, you're growing up so fast!  I feel so helpless.  I am so sorry I cannot do more to help you.  I cuddled you all day today--other than that, all I can do is talk you through it and assure you that it will be okay.  If there was something I could do, believe me I would.

On a happier note, you LOVE your new bed time & cereal! Your in bed by 9pm at the latest (we're slowly moving you back earlier & earlier, our goal is 8pm--that's what seems to make you the happiest!).  You get up between 7-8am and you're so incredibly happy.  You LOVE that you have time to play with daddy before work now and daddy is enjoying this time with you, too!

Daddy & Liam time

You LOVE playing with your silly daddy

With all of the growing up going on, lately I've been pretty emotional.  I just cannot believe how fast the time is going.  Truthfully, sometimes I'd like to go back to the beginning and start again, so I can relax and take it all in again.  If only I knew then what I know now.  Such mixed feelings--I am so proud, so amazed and feel so blessed... but part of me wants my lil' 6lb "baby" back.  Oh Liam... if only you knew how much we love you.  I never knew someone could feel this much love.  Absolutely amazes me.

Liam's beautiful little hands.  I cannot believe Kevin & I made this little miracle.  We are so blessed.

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...
