Happy update!

Who is out on their own? We are! Friday we paid the man for our apartment, Friday night the majority of our things were here lol. Safe to say we were excited!
I love it so far.. we live in a neighborhood that has a bad rep but I have my gun and  the apartment complex has been pretty dang good. Plus the manager and landlord are great!

Our new home is no more than 7 minutes away from Curts work. Her loves that. Yesterday he got of at 330, was stripped down to his undies, drinkin a beer and playin ps3 by 340. Lol nope, not exaggeratin! I live being alter too cook what I want, clean and everything having a place to go. I'm a happy camper! :)

Allergic?!

The medicine the doctor gave me seems to be making my skin worse.. I mean come on man! Can't a red girl catch a  break? (said in my ghetto voice) so we're going back to the antibiotics I was on first and time will only tell if that helps...

Also, never take a bath in %50/50 water and vinegar. My dermatologist recommended it... As much as I like her, she's obviously insane. Haha.. We tried it & it pretty much burned my skin, made it raw! Hurt like a son of a gun to say the least.. Needles to say, we'll stick to bleach and water to get the infection off. Burns muuuuuch less, if at all!

Id also like to say happy birthday to my gorgeous nephew! Since I'm so sick I can't make it to his birthday party which breaks my heart but I'm sure he won't mind too much since he has his uncle Curt :). He's a year  old! Well, will be Wednesday. I love him so much.

The picture of my arm is where it made my skin raw, others are my sweet nephew!

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!! :)

Stephs staph

Alright so Sunday night I started running fever and feeling like crap. Monday I woke up and my skin was hurting very bad and I had red circle-like spots in my inner thigh, legs and a few on my arm. Only on the places that were in pain... I sent pictures to my mom and she told nee to come home so she could "doctor me up"(haha), when Curt and I arrived at my mommas house it was bedtime so as I was getting ready for bed, I got undressed and black dots were covering 87% if my legs from top to feet.

My lower legs usually have thicker (pretty gross looking) skin that's much harder to get off than any other place. But never have I had anything like this. It also spread to my arms, stomach, back and nose on Tuesday.

Today (Wednesday) I woke up to my skin not hurting and the spots mostly faded besides on my legs. I went to the dermatologist this morning and they took
a culture in my skin using a Q-Tip. They also gave me a shot of Rocephin and I got blood taken. Lots of fun today, let me tell ya! My derm. said she thinks its staph, i'm pretty sure I agree with her.

Hopefully the antibiotics and the shot in the  butt does some good! Results should be back in atleast by the beginning if next week. I'll be sure to update! Thanks :)

Summertime

Since last weekend was memorial day weekend Curt, my family and I all went to the lake for the weekend.. Its always crazy going to the lake or going anywhere in public in the summer. Most girls tan all during summer, some over due it. I'm not one of them girls, since I definitely don't need a tan or even out in the sun too long.
Everyone out on the lake always assumes I've been stupidly severely sunburned. I get that on a daily bases but it obviously increases by a trillion in the summertime. Its safe to say I raise awareness by 25378646 in the summer. Haha!

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!

Our move.

If you watch my YouTube videos you know that Curts family lives an hour away from mine... 2 Weeks ago we randomly up and moved to my hometown from his because its closer to his new job that he's starting tomorrow. He's recently got hired on in the Union (apprenticeship, electrician).. Well we lived with my grandparents while we were looking for an apartment, having a dog made it ten times harder! Last night at 11:00pm Curt decided it'd be better if we moved back to his town because..... Well, I think he was just homesick. So being the wonderful wife I am (haha), got out of bed, got Max loaded our junk up with the help up of Curt of course and headed an hour away back to his town... Don't get me wrong, I like both towns but id love if we could Getty our own place real soon so we would feel the need to "house-hop". Everyone had made us feel so welcome and at home but id love to have our own place instead of depending on our families. Thank God we're blessed with such amazing people in our life.

So now we're back to living with his parents. We're steadily looking for a house or apartment that allows pets but its harder than you might think. Keep in mind both towns are very small... We're not willing to give up Max right now, if ever. He's our baby! :) Wish us luck!
