"SIMPLY AMAZING"


http://christieccarter.blogspot.com/2011/02/simply-amazing.html

Little did we know what GOD had already planned!

CADE & CASE

At 21 weeks I was admitted into the hospital.   I was having pre-term labor and didn't know it.  I was dilated to 3 cm and scared to death that I would never see my boys faces.   I was there until the day they were born.  We made it to 32 weeks.   I was going to delete the pics below, but for some odd reason I felt the need to keep them.  Maybe to show my boys what I went through!  Ha!

I was in the hospital for 73 days and had alot of these days!

I had alot of good days too.   I am so thankful for all my doctors, nurses, family and friends that thought of me, came by to see me and sent me yummy and beautiful things to encourage me and kept me positive.  It was all of you and of course my Faith in God that helped me achieve what I have now!

Colt @ 18mths!

Colt is into everything.  He loves being in the kitchen with his mama, getting into all the drawers and cabinets.  He is saying a few words, mama, dada, bite-bite, bye bye and sometimes when you ask him "what kind of noise does a cow make?"  He will say moooooo! or at least make his lips pucker that looks like mooooo!  When you ask him to give his brothers love. He will say "awwwww".                  I'm so proud of him.  He also will try to do the hand motions when you sing "itsy bitsy spider".  

It took us three years to achieve Colt!
The last 3 years was a roller coaster of emotions. UP's and Downs, lots of tears shed and I felt heartache that I never experienced.......

I would do it all over again to have these 3 precious boys!

He loves bouncing on his pony his Aunt T got him for Christmas

More to come soon!  Living and Loving the Best we know how!  :)

My 3 C's: COLT, CADE, & CASE

Picture done by Rachael Miller Photograpy 

As you can imagine, things are pretty busy at "the Carter household".   I am now back to work, trying to get caught up with that and manage a house, plus take care of my 3 C's, Colt, Cade and Case!  I wouldn't want it any other way!   It's so funny, when I think about my previous life!   I actually thought I was busy then! Ha!  We are nonstop!  It's a blur most days, I'm trying to take pics, movies and all that to capture my little growing boys, but I will tell you, it's tough.   I just wanted to give all and update and let you know we are all doing great!  I'm actually starting to feel like me again, and ready to get back to the working world.  My little boys are growing so much and they are starting to loose all of that precious hair, smile and goo!  Colt is doing excellent!  He is the best big brother!  He gives them love and so far hasn't clawed their eyes out!  He is pulling up onto everything and could walk if he wanted, but doesn't really think he has to.  He jabbers up a storm!   Even though, things are crazy and sometimes I feel overwhelmed with everything, we are enjoying every single minute.
I  promise to post pics and movies soon.
