Wow. I have never been 31 weeks before. This is fantastic! My BP this am was 108/73...so great! I have gained 26 lbs so far. The past month or so I have not gained anything...so right now I am stuck at 26. I am ok with that!! :) No PE signs what so ever. So crazy to even imagine. Maybe its the Lovenox? Maybe its the baby asprin? Maybe its just luck of the draw? Who knows?
Of course the third trimester comes with some gripes...heart burn all day long. RLS (Restless leg syndrome) and getting up to pee at least 6 times a night. But hey...I will take and do whatever it takes to bring Carter home with me.
I have just started Carters room. It is painted, his big white teddy sits in the corner. His closet has clothes hung inside (not washed and still tags on...not ready to do that yet) I think I will wait another 3 weeks to wash clothes and such.
I don't really have anymore goals except to get to 37 weeks PE free...and to just bring home a living baby! 6 more 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.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Carter. It's my mom's maiden name. But, my husband doesn't love it like I do so if we get pg again (and I hope I am now) and we have a boy, I think cooper will be his name. Congrats on making it to 31 weeks. I found you through Stephanie's blog. I have never lost a baby and my heart breaks for those of you who have!
WONDERFUL Laura! I remember when I began following your blog, I think you were around 24 weeks. I gather a lot of hope from you and other BLM's that are expecting their rainbow babies. I know he isn't here yet but we pray for you daily! How is Pappy?
