Avery's Lil Brother (Maternity Pics)

Thank you Paperhearts, Photography by Jessica Laviage for capturing this moment in our lives and for your kind words.  I think Laura said it best when she said, "I don't think of myself as a hero at all, just a mom with a precious little girl"...and in 7 weeks (give or take), a precious little boy too.

Thank you again to everyone for loving Avery and continuing to care about our family.  If you haven't done so today (or in a while), tell someone you know about Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) or reach out to an SMA family in your area and ask what you can do to help them...you never know how it might positively impact their lives or this disease.

-Mike & Laura, aka Avery & Carter's Mommy and Daddy-



Thank you again to everyone!

    Thank you SO MUCH for allowing us to share in your joy!! Can't wait for a safe and happy arrival for baby Carter! I hope Carter decides to write a blog telling us of his adventures...maybe he will be a "writer" as a gift to his sister! We will all cherish his adventures, as well as Mommy's and Daddy's! And we will ALWAYS remember that big sister Avery is with you in all you do! Thanks again!

    I am so happy for you. You are such loving parents, and have given so much to this world by sharing your beautiful daughter Avery with all of us, not only to make our world a little prettier, but also to educate us on something that was very important to know. Carter is going to be one very lucky little boy. I hope you'll keep the blog going so we can enjoy watching Carter grow too. Love to you from Minnesota.

    Congrats on your baby boy! This news is so exciting for the 2 of you and of course, for Avery, too. Carter will be one very lucky little boy, especially when he hears stories about how his big sister spread the news of SMA to the world. Good luck, health and happiness to you and your baby. Laura.....you're one of the most beautiful pregnant people I've ever seen.....pregnancy is totally your thing! :)
