Liam's first swim lesson

This photo says it all... Liam LOVED his swim lesson!

For the first lesson, everyone did one-on-one time with their baby and the instructor. Patrick, the instructor went around and helped each daddy (or mommy) with their child's technique. Patrick even taught dada how to dunk Liam! And he didn't even cry (he looked surprised, but not as surprised as mama, who was on the side of the pool, not expecting it!).

He tolerated the dead man float this time, but still not his favorite. Liam has NEVER been a fan of being on his back! Guess the pool is no exception!

He even tried paddling!

Liam's friend Caden is also in the class! (and his friend Ryan, from music class)

Big class this session

Holding on to the side is a survival skill they learn

Caden looked so cozy like this!

And one from the other day...

Here mama, you can have YOUR phone back... HA!

Walking videos to be posted shortly. We are a FULL TIME independent walker now (crawl maybe 10% of the time!). Still freaks mama/dada out when we see Liam go strolling by. SO WEIRD! Check back soon!

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...
