Pumpkin Patch!



 We took Liam to a very low key pumpkin patch, geared towards toddlers. It was so much fun. He ran in the pumpkin patch, wandered around the hay maze, went on a tractor ride, attempted to ride a Pony (as you'll see, that didn't go well), played with chickens and ducks (one of them nibbled Liam's finger when he stuck his hand in its cage after repeated warnings not too--he took it in stride, not a tear!).

He was completely amused watching a rabbit in its cage and ate 2 popsicles (one that we offered him, one that a little girl offered him... he was happy to oblige, it was so hot!). Oh and he sampled an apple from the farm! He passed out on our way home and we all ended up taking a nap together when we got home. What a wonderful Saturday afternoon!













































After nap time, we went out for ice cream. The parlor had a chalk board wall that Liam found quite fun, so we headed next door to a local market and bought some chalk. Liam's daddy made him this chalk/magnet board a long time ago, but we never bought chalk! Liam LOVED drawing with mommy and daddy!
Then, we went outside to decorate the pumpkin Liam picked from the patch! 



Liam's art ran over to his face! 

And here is the first pumpkin Liam has ever decorated!

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...
