Unexpected...

It's been forever :/ I think you all died and probably no one will read this now, but i gotta post it anyways :p


This morning I got a phone call at work, it was Katie. She was put on bed rest last week cause apparently this pregnancy is more difficult then her last. We decided we wanted to be surprised on if the baby was a boy or a girl. Anyways, Katie called me about noon and said her water broke o.O I rushed home thinking why would her water break eight weeks early. We got to the hospital and the nurses check on everything, then about thirty minutes later the doc comes in tellin Katie to start pushing. With Skye, we were at the hospital six hours before she was actually born. This was all happening just a little too fast for me. And before I know it I'm holding the tiniest baby I have ever seen. So tiny it scared me a little. After the "ooh-ing" and "aww-ing" we started to discuss names when the doctor said "Okay, let's prepare for the next one."
"NEXT ONE???" I was shouting.
"You didn't know? You're having twins?" he replied.
A sense of overwhelming.......terror ? came over me. TWINS ? What the hell am I supposed to do with those? Doing this once before had me convinced that I was well prepared...but I had never considered twins. The second one came, and I held two newborn babies in both my arms, and took in the feeling of now being a dad of three.

   Say Hello to
  Sawyer Blade Curtis and Story Day Curtis. My new baby boy AND girl!
They have to stay in the hospital a few weeks, until they are breathing and eating right!

Incoming!

Last month I was working at the DX....as usual. We had an unusual amount of customers that day, who seemed more interested in purchasing things inside than they did gas. The last customer for the noon rush had just left when Jelly walked into the store, with tears pouring down her cheeks.
"What happened Jels?" I asked. She handed me a wad of folded papers. I began reading them, and my heart sank.
"Kit?" I suspected, and Jelly's nod confirmed it.
"That's terrible....ya know, no matter what Steve did to me, I could never do something like this for revenge on him...friends don't do that." I explained, contemplating a talk/fight to soon be had with Kit.
Jelly's sobs quickened, and she fell into my chest, so I did the only thing I could....I wrapped my arms around her and held her against me.
"What did Dimitri say?" I asked.
"He was mad because I didn't tell him... because I lied to him...it was all about him. He has no idea how that made me feel, and it didn't seem much like he cared." Jelly said.
There was long silence after that, and then I heard Jelly mumble into my shirt, "Do you think we would still be together if that hadn't happened?" She asked.
I thought for a minute...what if that had never happened...would we never have separated?
I pulled her away from me and looked her in the eye, "Jels.. I think it was meant to happen. We weren't meant to be together. Back then we were little kids..we thought we'd be together forever. But, I can't imagine life differently than it is now...without Katie, without Skye. They're my world, I couldn't trade them for anything.... and yeah, Dimitri should have acted differently, but you still love him...you're still married to him, and I know you wouldn't want a life without him......this is the life you were meant to live Jels."
"Yeah.....I know, you're right." She wiped her wet cheeks.
"I can talk to him for ya, if you want?" I offered.
"No.....no, I need to do it myself." She answered, then she turned and headed out the door.
                                                                     ~~~

It was two A.M. when I got home Thursday after work...well, and after Steve and me went partying. Wow...only two in the morning? Were getting old -.-
Anyways, I heard Skye moving around, and sneezing. She'd had a cold for awhile. I walked into her room and saw her face light up. "Da, da!" she said, her first word that we discovered last week.
"Hey baby girl." I whispered, picking her up. I sat with her in the rocking chair awhile, playing with her toes until she fell asleep.
After putting her back in her crib, I went into the bathroom and took a quick shower. When I got out I started drying off my hair, then I noticed something sitting on the counter. I held the plastic stick between my fingers and read "POSITIVE".
I slid into bed and noticed Katie was awake, I was glad...cause I couldn't wait to share my excitement with her.
"Another baby, huh?" I said.
"Yeah." She smiled, curling up next to me.
"You just keep giving me the best, don't you?" I smiled.
"So you're excited? You don't think it's too soon?" she asked.
"No... I think it's perfect." I answered.




 

Fatherhood

Little Skye is about 4 1/2 months old now, and gets more beautiful with each passing day.
I've gotten used to all the dirty diapers, late night wake up calls, and random spit ups.... the only thing I can't seem to master, is feeding time!

The first time I set her in her pink highchair she screamed...and balled...and screamed some more. Once the tears dried up, I set some food infront of her. It stayed there for about ten seconds before she dumped it on the floor.

The second time, she didnt scream or cry...but the food got EVERYWHERE! On her..on the highchair..the floor..the ceiling..me...EVERYWHERE!

The third time, I put her in the chair with nothing but a diaper on...and instead of giving her baby foor, I gave her crackers. Cause crackers arent that messy right? I left the room to get the mail..came back and she had them crushed up in her hands with slobber and rubbed it all in her hair.

The fourth time, I sat infront of her and watched her every move....that is, untill I fell asleep..and woke up covered in mushy baby squash.

The fifth time, I let Katie do it. I laughed and wished her luck, then sat back and waited for the mayhem. Skye....was a perfect angel -.- she ate the food like she was supposed to. WTF??
