Lexington Life Magazine

Last Month I had the privilage to honor the life of our son, Addison Carter White, with the residents of Lexington, SC . When I was approached by the editor of the magazine to contribute to the article I did not have any hesitations. I submitted my testimony to the magazine and they used what they needed for the mothers day edition of this magazine. It was an honor to have our story featured and my prayer is that if only one person that read it that had expereinced such a difficult experince as losing a baby , they were able to see that through this or any other difficult time, there is always HOPE! Keep looking to God for strength, guidance and wisdom each and every day. He will never leave your side.  There is not one single day that goes by that I do not think of Carter, But the good news is, that I will be able to see him again one day and I thank God for letting me be his mother and for letting me expereince each and every move that he made for the 8 months that I carried him. Even though Carter never breathed a breath outside of the womb, he will be with us forever in our hearts and our lives.  Below is the link to the article that was featured in the magazine. The article is on page 10.

9 Months

This post is LONG over due! I skipped the 8 month post but I am going to do my best to blog on a regular basis. Cole is now 9 months old. WOW has the past 9 months flown by! I can't believe in a few short months we will be celebrating his first birthday!  He is doing new things every day. He is now crawling or should I say power crawling everywhere. He is sooo fast! He is pulling up on everything and he is now getting brave and letting go for a few seconds before he sits down.  I do not think it will be long before he is going to be walking. We have baby proofed the house because he wants everything that he is not supposed to have ( remotes, cellphones, outlets, etc). He seems to understand the word "NO" but doesn't mean that he listens everytime we say it ( which ranges from 100-1000 times per day!)  He loves to dance when music is playing. it is sooo funny! He still isn't sleeping through the night, however he is getting better and putting himself back to sleep when he wakes up in the middle of the night.  He had to go to the Dr. this week and has an ear infection ( number 2 for him) and a viral throat infection. He has one tooth and another one getting ready to break through . He has been to the pool and loves the water. He is also starting to eat more table food and LOVES PUFFS! I think he could literally eat them all day!

I started a new job a few weeks ago. Unfortunelty I was unempolyed the month of May but I do believe it was a blessing. A blessing in the sence that I was able to spend each and every day with Cole. A friend of mine recommended a book to me, Mission of Motherhood , and I begain reading it last month. It is truely a eye opening book and I highly recommend it to any mother with any age child. It is awesome.  I am currently only working part time and get to spend two full days a week with Cole and I love it.  God knows what he is doing with our lives. Sometimes we are reminded that we are not in control and we need to "Be still and Know He is God".
