An introduction

My name is Carrie and I am 29. I have a beautiful 2 year old named Jackson and a wonderful (on good days!) husband named Michael. We were married June 18, 2005, found out we were pregnant in December 05 and had Jackson is July 06. He was a month early but did really well. He had to have surgery on his tummy at 5 weeks old but has done awesome ever since.

I am an RN at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock where I work in the Pediatric Intensive Care. I love my job, but work every Saturday and Sunday night so that part of the job gets old fast. Did I mention that my job is also 2.5 hours away and in another state!?!? Right now I'm struggling with the fact that I have to leave my 2 year old at home while I go to work. I am only away from him two nights and technically one day but to me it seems like a lifetime. Sometimes during my drive I think to myself what if me leaving every weekend has a long term negative effect on Jackson.... Or what if something happens and I am so far away.... What does my husband do with all his "free" time away from me.... (lol) I'm sure through this journey you are bound to hear more about the trials and tribulations of working so far away.

So, after this shor introduction are you wondering what brought me to try blogging. My friend Kristy lost her beautiful, precious baby girl very unexpectly shortly after birth. Please visit Kinsey Grace at www.kinseygracethompson.blogspot.com She started to blog to help her through the pain. After reading her post I started searching other's and thought it might be a good idea to try blogging myself. I'm very tough on myself and keep a lot of feelings to myself, which has lead to a very poor attitude. I feel like I can pour my thoughts and feeling here, others can read and maybe just maybe someone out there is like me. I have no idea how blog searches work, so if someone finds me and can help me "search blogs" I'd appreciate the help.

There is more to come but I'll shut up now or I won't have anything to write tomorrow...... I'm wanting lapband done, very soon, so I'm hoping to search my story with perfect strangers to help me through the process. I'm hoping to have it done in December or early January. Bye for now!
