Lucky

I am really lucky, even if I am currently experiencing my second of two natural disasters this week.  Sitting inside all day because of the constant rain has made me a little gloomy.  Plus, yesterday I found out that a high school friend's very prematurely born daughter, somewhere around 15 weeks early, passed away yesterday after fighting for almost two weeks and looking like she was pulling through.  I heard the news last night while feeding Carter and my heart just broke.  There I was feeding and cuddling with my baby and thinking about how I would feel if something happened to him.

That got me thinking about how lucky I am.  Carter is generally happy, super cute, and my baby.  Brett is on the verge of being a lawyer and getting a "real" job.  I get to stay home and play with Carter all day.  I really am super lucky and very blessed.

Here's to hoping Hurricane Irene bypasses the rest of the East.

That is so sad! Preston had a friend's premature baby just die too! Makes me so grateful for my 3 pound baby and making it to 32 almost 33 weeks! Whenever you think you have it rough, there's always someone who has it worse
