Rough patch

I downloaded this app that is supposed to predict “leaps” that babies go through and how it makes them fussy...well Carolina hasn’t been herself for quite some time and our routine was interrupted by Dane going on a few out of town jobs. I have friends who used it and honestly I thought it was overrated and that I didn’t need an app to know my baby was going through something. But she ain’t my baby right now!! Lol she’s normally so easy. I entered her dd and it sure did place her in a leap. ๐Ÿ™ˆ with seven days left! Oh my gosh. And let me tell you it was spot on. This post is behind because we’ve just been surviving not thriving lol so here’s some highlights of our week 


This honestly says it all. But we did have some good times too. But this was the worst night of my life...I got Carolina to sleep for the night and she had only been asleep for 20 minutes. I had a bad tummy ache all day and needed to go to the bathroom. So I got up out of nanas bed (we were staying over there) and went to the bathroom. After a few minutes I heard a thump but I didn’t think much because everyone was still awake and they have a dog and it’s just not abnormal for there to be some type of noise going on. Well then I heard loud crying but it wasn’t my child and it sounded different I thought it was my moms tv because she keeps it extremely loud. Welllll it perked my ears and I kept hearing it so I rushed out to find nana holding Carolina June and I already knew what had happened. But I didn’t believe it until nana said 

She fell off the bed, honey” OMG I panicked I grabbed her and I just kept screaming “oh my god no, oh my god no” and my mom came in to see what happened and I just sobbed “she fell off the bed omg she fell off the bed” my mom tried taking her because I was so upset but I just grabbed her back and cried with her I sat on the floor in front of nanas fan because I couldn’t breathe and just cried holding her and told her how sorry I was. She didn’t want to nurse she just screamed. I finally stopped crying got her to nurse but Dane was gone and not answering the phone and it was around 8 PM I didn’t know if she hit her head I didn’t know what to do. I ended up riding to the emergency room with my mom but because stupid covid my mom couldn’t come in and I needed my mom just like Carolina needed me! They said it wouldn’t take long to get us back so I stood and waited. They kept asking me to sit down UHM there’s sick people everywhere!!! I don’t want to sit down so you can forget about us in the corner. Then this I’m sorry but ghetto tatted up mom starts screaming at the staff about how they’ve been “waiting up in here for 3 hours” uhhhh hold on...so I ask and the guy says “welllll technically she’s been here like 2 hours and 20 minutes” omg so he said a bunch of people checked in right before us and he didn’t know. I got overwhelmed watching them wheel sick people out with oxygen tanks. I got the feeling to go outside and call my cousin who lives in another state and could do literally nothing to help me. I have to believe God put that thought in my head when my mind was racing with a million other thoughts wondering if Carolina June was okay. She prayed with us and asked God to give me peace and to make a quick decision and it just confirmed my heart telling me to take my baby home. She was responsive eating tracking things and playing. During her prayer i kept remembering something God told me when I was pregnant with her - “this child is mine to keep” surely a freak accident like her falling off the bed wouldn’t take her from me! So we went home....I saw her poor little face when we got there. 


One sweet thing about this day, I carried Carolina June for 38 weeks and 3 days and that is how old she is today ๐Ÿ’—

Sleeping on a pallet at my moms because apparently she will just crawl off the bed now! 

Hard not to pinch these cheeks! Happy St Patrick’s day 




Nana and papa came over and brought fried chicken! We ate outside because it was very pretty and she was swingin...she loved the mashed potatoes! 


Little ham 


Time to break out Easter attire 




Friday we went and picked up Danes paycheck and had some plans that got interrupted because Dane had to go take a class for work. We dropped him off and went to nanas and helped her prep to get her new furniture and then picked him up. Baby girl fell asleep in the car 


Friday night we headed to Saratoga Texas to spend the night with the Gilpin’s but not before BamBam flipped over her toy!



We got there at nine and Carolina June and stayed up until 10 something before she went to sleep but missy jo was already in bed. The chicken and biscuit were very excited to see each other Saturday morning they clearly love each other ๐Ÿ˜‚


We went to eat breakfast at a local cafe and it was amazing! The girls were so good and missy ate everything that wasn’t nailed to the floor 


Nap time on MoMos comfy couch 





We went to trade days in liberty and it was fun except for her 30 minute nap of the day! At the end I had to get her out of her stroller and find a place to feed her and carry her around while she slept the last hour. 

We met back up with the guys for dinner  they had gone to the mud park 



Carolina June loves raygen and I was grateful to have her in the backseat taking care of my baby. Raygen is the best kid and takes such good care of everyone she loves
