- 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.

Great job! I love that picture of you three!
I wish the writer of the article had worded this line differently, "In most cases, doctors will try to prolong pregnancy to increase the baby’s chance for survival, often administering medications to help with the baby’s development. "
It kinda makes it sound like they can just give mom some medicine and the baby will be fine, if they catch it in time. There's a fine line between keeping baby in as long as possible vs. waiting too long. And the medicine they can give only matures the baby's lungs, it isn't going to help with growth restriction or other development.
I love that you and Cara are effecting change and saving lives <3
