Visiting Family & the Zoo

The last weekend of February, we just up and decided to head to Hanford. We were discussing making a trip in the near future, at the breakfast table on Saturday morning. When I asked Liam if he wanted to go see Grandma, Grandpa, Grammy, Papa, Auntie's & Cousins he shook his head yes. When I asked again he said "eesss" (yes). So, we packed up and took off!
First thing he did after getting out of the car, ran up and get on the bear!
Then, he pet the dogs

Liam was a bit nervous about the jet, Mama was VERY willing to help!

These two are so close in age, they just love to antagonize one another



So sweet, he just adores Rhys


Liam was also gifted a bike a few weekends ago, from one of Kevin's friends/coworkers! His little boy was done with it and they were going to donate it, but offered it to us first. Kevin was so excited to get Liam on it... Liam enjoyed it too!
C'mon Dada, let's go!



Last weekend, we decided to try the Santa Barbara Zoo again (last time we went, we felt Liam was still a little too young to truly understand). The past couple of months, Liam has really taken an interest in animals and their sounds, so we thought it'd be a perfect Saturday outing. And of course, we were right!
Ready to head out (look Grandma, my zoo hat finally fits!).

He said "dog"... guess the fox did look a lot like Bruiser!

Looking at elephants (which he loved!)

Now I can really see those elephants, thanks Dada!
Kevin calls this the "mama face"

Riding the zoo train. Animals & a train, Liam was in heaven!

Mama & Liam, fun times!

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...
