I haven't written in what seems like forever. I used to write every single day. I have a few unfinished novels, which I still plan to finish, as soon as i can get motivated to do something other than surf my two favorite sites.
My name is Callie and I'm a mom of two. They are the lights of my life and just plain miracles. Lizzie is almost 2 and Aric is almost 3 months. I am very thankful to my hubby Kevin for them. I have pretty much all that I've wanted since i was a small child (minus the novels finished) I am a stay at home mom, i have a son and i have a daughter. And the most wonderful man in the world. Sexy, gorgeous and just a sweetie. The most sexy eyes you could just fall into. *sigh*
We met one night at a bowling alley, one of those cosmic bowling nights, where they turn the lights off and turn the blacklights on. Pretty much from the moment i laid my eyes on him, i was hooked. Just couldnt 'believe he was interested in me at all. I mean, I was divorced, living at home and just (in my eyes) nothing special. He made me feel special and loved.
A few months (YES, 4 to be exact) we were married and the military moved us from KY to Germany.. more on that later, then to NC.. later as well, and now we are in NY.
NY.. not what i expected at all. Kind of hustle and bustle, but on a smaller scale. Everyone so far has kept to themself, i'm slowly making friends. Mainly farmlands around us. We are WAAAY up north, just 30 miles to Canada. Got our first snow around thanksgiving. Its cold, i'm over it. he he. Not sure what i expected being here, just not this. I knew the snow would come, and keep coming far into spring, but I dunno. I was determined to hate it, then determined to love it, then determined to put up iwth it, but now i'm just liek, eh, its ok.
I know one thing that's colored how I feel about it is i was pregnant when we moved here and had trouble with the OBs not wanting to see me here, insisting i travel an hour away to deliver there. One thing after another, and i finally gave in.
Now that he's here on the outside, i have to deal with a scarey newborn screening positive test result. Get a voice mail one day, Mrs. C, Aric's newborn screening came back and we need to discuss this with you. Well, i finally get someone to talk to me the next day, when they tell me that his newborn screening came back with a genetic mutation that is a marker for Cystic Fibrosis. We havent' told our families, hub's just not wanting them to worry i guess, but i hate not telling them. The sweat test is 2 days after christmas. Aric will be 3 months old then. They didnt' say at first, but finally told me a few weeks ago that the chances of him having it are like 4%, much better than just dropping a bomb in a moms lap and giving NO information, except that you can get seen for it in 2 months.
I haven't done much research on it, as you can get a lot of scarey info out there on the web, but the big "red flag" for it is failure to thrive... i dont' think my little man fits that category at all. He's almost doubled his birth weight, his 2 month appt showed that he was 13lbs 8oz and 23 inches long, 4 inches longer than at birth. Other than occasional eating too much, he's perfectly normal. Tries to hold his head up well, and has been for a month and a half(yes, really since 1 month old) pushes up with his legs, like he's trying to stand, gigles, coos and smiles. All the things a 2.5 month old should be doing. So, i'm worried, but not worried. He's my little miracle. And i trust and beleive that he's fine.
