We're gonna be grown ups!

Recently, Curtis got a new job working for IBEW. His job site is an hour away from both our home towns so it only makes since to move closer since gas prices are kicking our butts. We spend about $400 to $600 a month just on gas! So we found a place 3 minutes away from his work so we're moving out on our own for the first time. Let me tell ya, I'M A NERVOUS WRECK! An hour away from both of our families makes for a terrified Steph! I'm super excited that we don't have to "house hop" anymore and we'll be able to hang our clothes up in the closet instead of living out of bags but I'm thinking the move will be bittersweet.

I haven't been on youtube in a while due to no computer access. I still film like crazy, I'm just not getting it online so I reckon filming so much is pointless. If you'd like to keep up with us, follow us here or on twitter. I also have an Instagram; TurnerWife101. You can follow me on there too! 

I got the results back on my culture and blood work. I had three different kinds of bacteria on my skin that was making me so sick, Staph, Strepp and something else that I can't spell or pronounce. They gave me two different types of antibiotics to take twice a day. Hopefully I'll be good as new before we know it! 

Other than that, theres not much to catch ya'll up on. Any questions? Contact me via twitter, leave a comment or email me at xxsturner@gmail.com! 

Thanks for reading!! :)

Babies?

People are constantly asking us when we're gonna have kids since before we even got married. We're still very young but we're getting older and our friends, Co-workers and old classmates are popping out kids left and right, of course we feel pressured to have a baby! Don't get me wrong, we both want kids so bad its unreal but there are more steps we have to take before we even consider kids.
I've loved the idea of a baby since I was 15. No, I wasn't taking the necessary steps needed to have a baby nor did I physically want a child. However, I knew id be a great mom and I had so much love in my heart that I wanted to give to a precious baby. I also wanted the "needed to be needed" feelin. Luckily momma didn't raise no fool (haha) so I didn't do anything to put everything in action.
Curt is fantastic with kids! They love him and he loves them. No doubt in my mind that he'd be a terrific daddy...

We've talked about kids many many times. We also realize that since my skin doesn't stretch like the average persons, it'd be very painful, risky and maybe life threatening for me to carry a baby for 9 months. Plus my body does good just to keep itself healthy, muchless another human! To my knowledge there has never been a woman with harlequin ichthyosis have a baby... And as much as I love proving the doctors, science, statistics and sometimes even myself wrong, I'm not able to risk another humans health/life just because we want a baby.

It breaks my heart to know that I can't give my husband the one thing he wants more than anything in the world. It almost makes me feel like less if a woman.. I know Curt would never want me to put me or our unborn child in harms way. He's very understanding about everything of course, what else would you expect from the best husband ever? 

We're very much considering adoption. We checked out the criteria and everything so maybe one day we'll have our own little angel... Gonna do a little praying and money-saving and see how everything goes! For now, our little angel has four legs and devours food when I drop it. :) Ole Max!
