I present you with future prom king and queen Carter & Lyla!
For those of you who are following Lyla's Story, she is HOME! Lyla is still on oxygen, and a G tube (which feeds her through her stomach) but she is doing great and is such a doll! Makes me happy just to see her smile! Lyla is 15 weeks, Carter is 8, she is tiny, but we just know she is going to catch up and do great! Carter does not mind a bit! After all what guy does not like a tiny girl!
Amelia and I are such great friends and I do everything I can to make sure I am here for her every step of the way in her journey is losing Brenna (which was just two weeks prior to our loss) and on this journey with Lyla! Amelia also has a son who is 4 and I can only imagine what he is going through, especially with Lyla being in the hospital for 14 weeks of her life so far! Poor guy!
I can't wait for our friendship to only get stronger as we share so many bonds, and I will be here with her on her journey with Lyla no matter what the future brings!

2 Months Old!
Precious Carter had his two month check up today. He weighs in at 11lbz 12oz and 22 inches. Well over the 50th percentile! Healthy as a horse! Carter is still on Zantac for his reflux but since he has been on that as well as sleeping a bit inclined he sleeps from 11pm-3 or 5:30 am...depends on the night but its been great! If he does wake up twice my husband will help me out with the 5:30 am feeding.
On Mothers Day Carter showed me how much he loved me by rolling over not once not twice but three times and we caught it on video! Amazing! My sweetness is smiling at me now and it is the most amazing thing. He likes to smile at Daddy more, but I just pretend I dont see that! haha!
Even at two months old I still look at him and it feels surreal, I can't believe he is mine!

A ramblin WOman
Thoughts of Cara have been filling my brain lately. It is almost constant. Of course not happy thoughts, and not sad ones either, just thoughts of her. I am so happy Carter is here in my arms. I guess I just still have no closure on what happened to Cara...what happened to me. Soon. Soon.
I find myself feeling a bit anxious from time to time. No idea what about. I am back in a routine, Work, Gym, Carter...thats my life. My poor husband fits in there somewhere, but right now we are focusing on loving our son, so many people say we need time together. I get that, trust me I do. What people do not realize is that we spent the past year and a half together, and alot of that time was spent sharing tears together, planning a memorial, walking for March of Dimes and Preeclampsia and raising money. We spent lots of quality time together that many couples never spend. Were good. So again no idea where the anxiety really comes into play, im thinking maybe just lack of sleep?
Another thing that I noticed is that I get so verrrrry easily annoyed...especially when people point out that I am always on facebook, or online or post too many pictures. Just a kind reminder I lost a child, so Carter is like gold, diamonds, the lottery, world peace rolled all in one, that and I have BLMs all over the world that love to see his pictures and family all over the US that love to watch him grow! If its an issue, I apologize but my son is w along awaited prized possession....sigh...the joys of being female right? All these emotions. That and there does just not seem to be enough time in the day!
Carter is now two months, we see more smiles, more good moods and more sleep! Hallelujah.
