Writings….Writings…..

Ok, so some of you know that tomorrow is the big day for me. I am going in for my first official surgery. I have to admit, I am a little nervous. Not scared….. but you want to hear something funny? What do you think my number one concern is right now? About to be poked and prodded? Going under anesthesia? The fact that they are lasering off parts of my insides? …… Any more guesses?

My number one concern is the fact that I can’t wear my contacts. I know, it sounds dumb, but let me explain something….. I am almost blind without my contacts, and I don’t own a pair of glasses with a recent prescription…. so once those babies are out of my eyes, it is just me and my hands feeling around….. Soooooooo…. Just being without my contacts in my own home kind of makes me nervous, I don’t like that fact that I can’t see anything until I run into it or trip over it, much less being in a hospital without being able to see… maybe there is a phobia for this…..

Anyways, be praying that this surgery goes super smooth, there is a very fast and painless recovery, and that there will be beautiful babies(not tons though )  to come from this surgery!

Trav I love you so much! This has been the most amazing 2 years of my life. I look forward to tons more! Thanks for my ring It’s beautiful! You are more than I could ever ask for! I love you!

I know it has been a while since I’ve updated… life is so busy!! Oh well, I know that is no excuse! Well, as some of you may or may not know, Trav and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now. It has been a long and frustrating journey, but one thing is for sure, it has taught me that I have to fully rely on God for EVERYTHING. I am a bit of a control freak, not terrible, but it’s definitely in me. So I have really had to be careful in being patient. Another one of my weaknesses. I am not a naturally patient person. Once I decide I want to do something, that’s it. I want it done. Now.

Wellll… I finally went to a doctor who gave a hoot about our journey and he found out that I have polycystic ovarian syndrome (also known as PCOS) and endometriosis. Both very bad for people trying to get pregnant. Well, without going into too much detail, he gave me my options and I think we are going with the best one. I go in on April 25th for a laser laparoscopy, where they will pretty much zap off everything bad and clear the way so that I will be able to function as I was created and get pregnant. I will then go on two meds that will help with everything, Metformin and Clomid. Both of which the most commonly complained about side effect is having multiples. I have had a very serious conversation with God about him having such a great sense of humor and this not being the time to use it and give me like octuplets or something. But, I definitely want at least one! : ) Too bad you can’t put in your order for kids, huh?

Anyways, after the surgery,  my chances of conceiving go up to 70 percent! (I will also say that the fertility drugs I mentioned early boost your chances of multiples by 80 percent, hence all the talking to God!) Well… enough about that, but please be in prayer on the 25th for me as they laser fix my insides! 

Ok, well, I am babysitting (if you count watching animal planet with your four year old cousin babysitting) so I better get back to watching tv I’m just glad I got to update. Hopefully there will be more to come!
