KAITLYN'S PLOT

Sep 03, 2009 08:47pm (EST)

I am so mad! We went two weeks ago to the cemetary and put fake flowers down in the dirt plus we had a one foot tall angel for three years there. if you stood there and looked around we have one of the best looking sites.

Anyway!

We went to visit her yesterday and they took everything away. I screamed and started to cry that the people around me stared to walk towards me. I went to the office to complain and the person who worked there was so heartless. I was crying and he says "Well we have rules" Never a sorry or anything just that it is gone thats that. I am so made this guy says he has worked there for 40 years i called him a HEARTLESS BASTARD lol that made me feel a little better. Poor Charlie felt so bad he doesn't know what to do!

SCHOOL DAYS

Aug 21, 2009 07:42am (EST)

Well for some reason I have been very emotional this month, about kaitlyn. I find myself crying everynight. I don't know if it is because James and Lauren are starting school in Sept. or if the topic of more kids is making me upset but I have cried alot this week.

I talked to Charlie about wanting more kids...I sometimes want to try again but then I think about what we went through to have the the first set and I don;t know if i can do it again. The fertility, the hospital visit weekly, the ER visits, the early delivery and what if... Charlie just says no no way i can't do it again and think of the kids. But he doesnt understand how hurt I am. I have always wanted a large family and not being able to have any say over your body sucks! I can't not have babies normally...it kills me. I this normal to feel this way?

I watch my kids and think of kaitlyn and then I hate myself for wanting more kids when I know I can't. I am feeling cheated out of the enjoyment of a NORMAL pregnacy and enjoyment of a new born. I was holding my friends 6 week old baby and thinking to myself this is what it should have been like..I help my 4 month olds like this not my 6 week olds. I don't know I quess i am beating myself up. by now you all think i should go to therapy... I do and it doesn't help they want me to take drugs and i did for a while but I stopped they didnt help .

Thanks for listening to me!

KAITYLN'S DAY (READ WITH TISSSUES)

Aug 08, 2009 05:50am (EST)

Well this week has been hard on me just like it is every year forthe past three years. Today is the day we lost Kaitlyn. I don't even want to get out of bed today. But, I have to becasue I have two babies that need me. We are going to visit her and plant some flowers. Then go out for lunch. We just fixed our front yard so we can plant a garden for her outside our window. Last night I looked through her box...mass cards....NICU papers...outfits she never got to wear...even the only pictures I have of her seconds after her passing. Why do I do it to myself? I know it will make me cry. But I need to look through the box, every year on August 7 before I go to bed. I give speeches and teel other moms that it will be ok. But deep down inside I am not ok. Time heals all wounds? When? My heart is broken everyday when I watch my kids play... I sit there and wonder what would she look like would she be a girlly girl like Lauren or love sports like James. I don' t know if my husband even feels anymore... he wants us to bisit friends today. I am not mad at him becasue I know he deals with it in is own way. Am I wrong for not letting go? Why does it hurt so much still? i AM NOT LOOKING FOR ANSWERS BECASUE I KNOW THERE IS NONE. But i am so angry that i was not given the chance to have her. I write this to you becaseu I know you understand and do not judge me. And for that I an so grateful. Thankyou SHARE! Thank you all of you who read this and sedn your love and thoughts to me. With out this website i would be lost becasue not having someone understand your pain is hard to live with. Thanky ou for letting me let it out. It is time to go and she my Angel baby!

EYE DOCTOR VISIT

Aug 01, 2009 08:16am (EST)

Well James has to wear a patch AGAIN...for an hour a day. Well that was not fun he cried for 30 mins when I put it on. I don't think he can really see out of his right eye. i feel so sorry that I have to force this patch on him but I know it is for the best.

Lauren had her first visit since the NICU her eyes are good but she needs surgery to remove a lunp on her lid. The Doctor said it take 2 mins to remove it but she has to be sleeping.

How much more can I take??? So we are scheduled for Aug 31 I will loose 20 pounds by then out of worry. Every speech I give I tell everyone just because we left the NICU it doesn't stop there...3 years later and these to are still battling prematuraty.

THey are strong little fighters! And They have some strong parents!

Have to go james is breaking my heart he has his nose in the cookie he is eating because he can't see it!

Jul 19, 2009 07:13pm (EST)

Well today my preemies turned 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a trip to the Bronx Zoo with a group of 20....friends & Family! We started the day with a suprize for MOMMY. As I came back from getting the tickets my husband was handing out little boxes...I had no idea what he was doing until he handed my one abd said," for Kaitlyn". He ordered BUTTERFLIES one for each person. We let them go and two of them are now part of the Buterfly garden at the Zoo. I was so touched we all cried. I didn't know he had it in him! We had a wonderful day and I miss my Angel and wish she was here with us and not in Heaven. Does is get easier? My heart hurts and I don't want August 8th to come. Well is is time for bed I am going to sit in their room for a while like I do every day...Happy Birthday my babies and a kiss to heaven for Kaitlyn!

CAMP PICS

Jul 06, 2009 04:44pm (EST)

So today was the first day of camp. Lauren ran in and started to play James took off to the other side of the classroom. Their therapist went to the school 15 mins after we left to do a session and said that she found Lauren walking in circle and screaming when someone went near her (panic attack) James was ok. After 15 mins she got her to calm down and paint. At the end of the day the teacher said she was fine and now she knows how to help her. I want to cry because I feel so bad for Lauren having panic attacks at the age of 3. We go back on Friday.

CAMP

Jun 27, 2009 06:23am (EST)

Ok Last Monday it was the kids camp orentation. We don't start until July 6. So James was fine he had no idea what to touch first. He ran around the room opening things up, showing things to people he didn,t know. It was funny to watch him be so excited.

Now lauren was a different story. She was a at me side. When she did find something to play with I walked away and then she would look up and start to cry. What an I going to do?

I know as a teacher just close the door and walk away they will be fine. But I tried this a dance class and she screamed for 15 mins.

September is really not going to be fun for us!!!! Well I guess I will have to were earplugs so I can't hear her crying. I told her that I would wait in the car. LOL

MEMORIAL

Jun 11, 2009 04:50am (EST)

Hello everyone! Well Charlie's back surgery went well he is in some pain but moving along. James can stop all his reflex meds and we have to watch him to see if it comes back. Lauren is a healthy Diva sorry I mean Princess as always. ThankGod!

James has been Potty trained for a month...we still have about 2 accidents a day and wear a pull up at night. Now we try Lauren...wish me luck.

Tonight the NICU that my kids were born in is having their memorial service for all the NICU babies that have earned their wings. My husband and i didn't go to the first one but we went last year. Boy! There were people there who lost their baby that morning all the way back 15 years ago. I read a poem Angel Wings. There was a small religious service all faiths, then a candle lighting ceremony where they called out your babies name and your family went up to light the candle, then some of us were asked to speak then there was an open mic. I really thought this helped me and a few others that were there. I wish my husband would open up. So tonight we ae going again and I will be reading another poem and shareing this website with all who are there. This website has brought me so much comfort and advice that my friends can't give me. I am so happy that I found share and all you wonderful people. Thank you all for your support!

Can't wait to see you all again in a few months!!!!

Attached is Mother's day photos and a picture of James N lauren with their 40 plus cousins!
