President's Day Weekend Fun

President's Day weekend was filled with fun. As I posted previously, we headed to Santa Barbara for a day of adventure on Saturday. Here are some more photos from our trip to Santa Barbara this past weekend (from our camera).

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.

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...
