Our house has been on the market for three months. One offer has fell through and we are working through another. (Fingers crossed) There is just SO much out there people are not willing to negotiate. So we will be moving in with my parents for the next year. Due to medical bills from last pregnancy and the one's piliing up right now we did not think that it would be a smart time to purchase. Plus we do not now if I will be on bed rest, or if the baby will be full term or not...(hopefully NOTHING will happen!!)
So my parents offered and we figured it would be a way to save and prepare for the months ahead. Not to mention our 2 bedroom townhome is just too far away, especially for when I go back to work and need someone to watch the little man. We are moving where I will be by lots of family, right now we are an hour away, with NO one not even friends around.
Kyle and I have also decided against daycare. Number one we really can't afford it with everything else going on. Number two, after what I have been through, I would rather leave Carter with a family member or good friend. Number three, we would only need two days a week and one of those is a half day since I go into work around noon. So many daycare facilities will not even look at you unless your three or more days!
I know I am starting to think ahead, something I have not started doing until now. I guess I can't help it. I delivered Cara just shy of 31 weeks, and I am not 25 so it seems natural to me to just plan incase baby Carter tries to make a early appearance, WHICH I DON'T foresee happening! POSITIVE THOUGHTS right?
Lots going on these next few weeks!

- I'm a mother to a beautiful angel in heaven, as well as our Earth baby Carter. My life has been filled with nothing but happiness and laughter, however I also know ultimate sadness. I continue to try to live my life to the fullest, and enjoy making people laugh along the way. You never know when your life will change forever. Mine changed November 16, 2009, when we learned our daughters heart was no longer beating. Cara was born November 17th 2009. She was 2 lbs 11oz 16 in. Preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome took her from us. I now strive to help promote Preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome awareness. I also strive to help others who have lost a child. Its something no one can prepare you for, Its something that will forever be with you. We are happy to announce that our son Carter Allen was born March 5 2011 at 36 weeks 4 days weighing 7lbs 7oz. Carter brings such happiness and hope to our lives.
