Liam is 2! (a bit late!)

Birthday boy woke up cheerful. We sang to him and gave him a pastry for breakfast (or "cake-cake" as he calls it).

He was ALL about taking pictures that morning!

He was NOT as excited about photos before we headed out for the party!

These two scare me they look so much alike!

We decided to do a family-only pizza lunch so Liam could spend some one-on-one time with all the wonderful people who traveled so far for his special day!

And then it was party time! We headed over to Liam's gymnastics center. BOY did the kids have a blast.

And then it was time for cupcakes/cake & ice cream!

I spent a lot of time on his truck, car & train party (he wanted them ALL! so mama had to invent a lot of decor on her own!).

& then of course, time for gifts! Such a spoiled boy. Thank you to everyone for all of the love!

Then it was time to head home to have everyone over for visiting and play time!

Liam took a short nap on the way home!

Liam's gift from mama & dada (a playhouse)... &

a castle/slide/climber! It went over well!

Mama got crafty and made Liam a birthday banner & the t-shirt you see him wearing!

Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate such a wonderful day! Liam had so much fun (& we hope you did too!). We all went to bed that night feeling blessed & loved!

Next up for the blog are: activities from Liam's actual birthday (this past Wednesday), stats from his 2 year check up & a little "not-so" surprise! 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...
