I Shed a Little Tear Today...

I shed a little tear this weekend while feeding Liam. He was INSISTING on feeding himself his cereal puffs, which made me feel so proud and so heartbroken all at the same time. Where did my little baby go? When did this little guy who was so dependent on me for everything start finding his own independence? *tear* Congratulations on yet another accomplishment lil' man... I am so proud of you *smile*

Liam spent the weekend showing daddy just how active he truly is. I cannot tell you how many times Kevin paused this weekend to say "I cannot believe how fast he is" or "I cannot believe all the things he gets into" or "I feel like I cannot take my eyes off of him for even a second." Did Daddy actually think I was making this up? Maybe now he truly understands why I am so exhausted by the end of our 10-12 (and sometimes 14) hour days?!

Liam is NOT sleeping well. His gums are so swollen, but still no teeth. We're hoping one (or two) will pop through soon and give him some much needed relief (and possibly some rest for mama & dada?!). I think we'll have a walker here in the next few weeks. Liam is really making progress pulling up, cruising along the furniture and he even manages to hold his balance for a few seconds after letting go of something. And he's trying to climb the furniture (oh my!).

I cannot believe I've started planning Liam's 1st Birthday. Where has the time gone? Everyone tells you to enjoy it, as it goes by so fast. I thought I was enjoying it, but now I find myself wanting that time back. I don't think I'd do anything differently (maybe stress less about sleep training) but, I'd still like to go back in time, slow it all down and replay it one more time. Not that I don't love the fun we're having now, but sometimes I miss that lil' guy that would actually sit still long enough to cuddle me.

As always, lots of fun at the Fagundes household! Stay tuned...

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...
