Catching Up

     Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great Easter. We sure did :) Courtney has been doing amazing in the care center. She is putting on weight and every time I call to check on her she is happy and adjusting fine. We are still going to see her 3 times a week so that we can still do what we need to do here at home and with Jordan but still make sure Courtney gets her love and attention too! We did speak with the doctors and she will be there for a long time. Sometimes it's hard when I walk into her room in the morning not seeing her there smiling at me... but I know that she is getting healthier and happier where she is and that is what is most important. We do get to check her out for a few hours here and there which is so much fun and she really enjoys that. We checked her out on Easter and she was so happy that she got to spend the day with all of us. When we walked in she screamed out of excitement and got to go through her Easter basket that Anthony and I had gotten her as well as a gift from her grandma and grandpa Caldwell.

     We are starting to get the countdown going for Disney World!! None of us have been including Anthony and I so this will be fun for everyone. I am just happy that the insurance agreed to let us keep Courtney out for that many days so that she can enjoy every kids dream before her health gets to the point where it's not safe to travel. She has never flown before and does have a seizure disorder so I am hoping and praying that everything goes smoothly. I am excited to update you all on the blog when we get back so that you can all see how much fun the girls had. 

     As far as my updates go... I went to my second doctors visit and we are 10 weeks. We got to hear the babies heartbeat and it was so awesome. We are both so excited!! I am growing at a fast pace which is different because with the girls I didn't show until I was much further along. Hopefully that means it's a boy!! Fingers crossed. 

     Our business is going great and every time we turn around we have a new client. Things are going great and we are headed down the path that we had hoped for! I couldn't be happier with how our lives are and how close we all have become.

The love of my life! 

     As you read through my blog depending on the way you look at things, some may think that there are so many things that have gone wrong. But as I grow and look at my life I feel so blessed. There have been so many times I had wished in the past that I had the power to change things like make Courtney a "normal" functioning child, take back every bad relationship, take back every wrong turn.... but now I look and realize that if it hadn't been for all of those left turns I may have not ended up where I am today. And where I am today is the happiest place on earth. I have 2 adorable, funny, smart and loving daughters, I have an angel straight from heaven who has chosen me to be her mother and teach me how to love unconditionally and how to cherish the important people and moments in this life. And of course, I finally found that one that knows what I'm feeling without me saying a word, who holds me when I cry, who loves me for who I am and loves my girls just like they're his own. I used to write about being destined to be alone and be a single parent for the rest of my life. And as I write this I begin to cry happy tears (probably the pregnancy hormones) knowing that God knew what was in my heart. He knew that once he had set my soul mate on my path that I would love him with all of my heart and do everything I could to make him happy. And now we are building a family and life together. And it's a wonderful life after all.
