Hey, My Name is Teresa i'm 25 years old, & the mother of two beautiful daughters. My girls are my life, my everything, the reason I breathe & the reason I get out of bed each morning.
My blog is called Uncommon Mommy Life & most people will wonder why I called it that & what is so uncommon about my life as a mommy. Well let me fill you in... I am completely deaf with bi-lateral Cochlear implants. I started loosing my hearing the summer after 8th grade & then finally lost all hearing in my right ear half way though sophomore year of high school. I got my first implant in 2005, it is a very complicated and painful surgery but well worth it! I then lost all hearing in my left in the beginning of my senior year & received my second implant in 2008, at first I did not want to have the second surgery because I knew how painful it was, but looking at my life now i'm grateful my parents pushed me to have the surgery. All because they knew one day I would have children & to hear them say ""I Love you Mommy" Makes any surgery in the world worth the pain I went through to be able to hear again. But enough about me, let me tell you a little about each of my girls.
Miss Kendall Jaylynn, My saving grace! Kendall will be 5 years old come February & is in her last year of Pre-K. Kendall has Epilepsy & Infantile Spasms. The Infantile Spasms started when Kendall was 5 months old, but her pediatrician thought she had colic, so for one whole month she was having seizures up to 18 hours a day and the doctors said it was nothing to be concerned over. On September 3, 2011 Kendall was rushed to UK Children's Hospital in Lexington, Ky where they told me that I need to make arrangements because she most likely wouldn't make it through the night. I Prayed & by the Grace of GOD my Kendall lived. The next day the Neurologist came in to see Kendall & told us her diagnosis & what Kendall's life would most likely look like for then on out. They told me she would never walk, she would never talk & that she would most likely be mentally challenged. Kendall Walks on her own everyday, She will talk your head off if you let her (granted she doesn't communicate like other kids her age, she communicated perfectly for her) & she understand basically anything you say. She is highly smart (she is developmentally delayed... which means she isn't at the level of kids her own age at the moment but she is catching up). We now see a Neurologist in Cincinnati at the Children's Hospital & we love the care we receive there. Kendall has been through a lot, but you would never know it, because she is the most loving child you will ever meet :)
My Prissy Princess, Ariella Paige! Ariella will be 3 the end of october. She is a spunky, sassy, smart mouth diva. She is my best friend. When the doctor told me I was pregnant I was mad, I didn't want another baby. I was scared I wouldn't be able to love that baby as much as I loved Kendall. But the moment they said I was having a Girl, I knew that GOD was sending Kendall & I a best friend. GOD knew what we needed & he Knew that Ariella was the perfect prissy answer. Ariella (or Ari as we call her) was named after my granny Stella who was a very strong willed woman. & I believe she would be proud of how well Ari is living up to the name :) Ari is the little girl that walks in the room all shy and bashful & 5 mins later is telling you a story with her head bobbing and the facial expressions of a teenager. She is a nail polish, make up, bow in her hair, dress wearing big ball of sassy. Oh & she is a little bit Pony obsessed lol She spends 3 weekends of every month with her Nana, Great grandmother, Father & baby bother... & not one of us could disagree with the fact that you will never find a more compassionate, motherly, loving little girl. Its hard to describe Ari in words Because all my heart is filled with is Love.
Well you still may not understand what is so uncommon about my life... but if you keep reading my post you might understand :)
