Endlessly grateful for being 6 weeks post op from

Endlessly grateful for being 6 weeks post op from my total hysterectomy and feeling more like myself than I have in over a year. And I’m endlessly grateful for this guy - who has been my rock through every doctor’s appointment, every procedure, and every day I couldn’t get out of bed. Not only that, he is the sweetest, most tender uncle to our nieces that I could ever hope or ask for to share our girls with.
Just grateful for my health and my love and the hope for better days.

You are the keeper of all my secrets, the guardian

You are the keeper of all my secrets, the guardian against all my fears, and the safe place I call home.

Grateful to have you by my side as we walk into an unknown future that neither of us were prepared to face. But every day we walk further down our new road, I find more solid footing and more hope for what’s to come, because you keep me grounded through the waves of grief.

I love you. ❤️

I’m officially three weeks post hysterectomy tod

I’m officially three weeks post hysterectomy today and was feeling well enough to shoot the holiday campaign photos for @shopmscb (with the help from my partner in crime, @kenzie_peach)

In fact, I told my surgeon last week at my first post-op appointment that I’m actually feeling the best I’ve felt ALL year. And I mean, that’s saying something since I was only two weeks post-op then, right?

Even though the decision to go through with the hysterectomy felt impossibly hard to make, I know now that I made the right choice for me, my sanity, and my body. I feel more like me in the last week than I have in over a year. It’s like I’m waking up from a long, painful, dark hibernation and my world is starting to fill with vibrant colors again.

And even though I’m still sad it had to come to this, I am also feeling excited for what’s to come.

There’s been a little more laughter in our home

There’s been a little more laughter in our home lately. Snuggles and kisses and staying up way too late watching Netflix. It’s like the worst is behind us and we’re on the other side of what we’ve been dreading and the darkness that has covered us for so long is starting to lift. It doesn’t mean we’re 100% okay, but we can feel the light and the hope for the future and we’re choosing to face it hand-in-hand, together.

And every night, you whisper to me: “This isn’t your fault. You’re my best friend. I love you more today than ever before. We’re going to live a beautiful life together.” And every night, we grow a little bit closer and our hearts mend a little more, and I know deep in my bones, that we’re going to be okay.

I love you, Dustin.

Never in a million years did I think I would be bu

Never in a million years did I think I would be buying and wearing postpartum undies without having a baby in my arms. But here we are, on #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness day today, and here I am: with a very swollen and tender belly, supported by a belly binder, not because I just had a baby, but because I’m post-hysterectomy.

Four years ago, we lost our first pregnancy and year after year, we went through infertility treatments, more pregnancy loss, surgeries, and now a total hysterectomy. And even though my doctor confirmed today after receiving my pathology results that we made the right decision, it doesn’t do much to lessen the grief.

And I guess I just want anyone out there who finds themselves carrying that same grief today to know that they are not alone. I know how hard it is to have your babies in heaven and not in your arms. I know what it’s like to have your dreams and future plans ripped out from underneath you and have no idea how to move forward. I know.

And even though today feels so sad and hard and unfair, I also know that there are pockets of peace and moments of joy to be found in the coming days and weeks and years.

So here I am, in a belly binder and postpartum undies after a complete hysterectomy, missing my babies and holding on to hope for healing and better days.

We made it.
It’s surreal to be back at home, knowing that the surgery we’ve been waiting for, dreading, but also looking forward to, is now behind us. We have officially closed the door to having bio kids and it’s hard to wrap my mind around it. But it’s done.

I had a lot of doubt and second guessing leading up to yesterday - wondering if I was giving up too fast or taking the “easy way out.” It was such a relief to hear my doctor say that my uterus was abnormally large and filled with vascular masses and that we made the right choice to remove it. I wasn’t making it up. I wasn’t exaggerating. It had to go if I was going to have any quality of life.
And to be honest, I would really love a better quality of life. My uterus took my fertility but it sure as heck wasn’t going to take my quality of life.

And so here we are, on the other side of the surgery and getting ready to focus on healing, both physically and emotionally. It’s not easy, but it’s doable. I am hopeful for better days.

Thank you for the countless texts, messages, flowers, and cookie deliveries. Your love and prayers have made the difference for us during this time and I cannot thank you enough.

Let the healing begin.

Between the sun and the sea and in this peaceful piece of paradise, we have started to turn our wounds into wisdom. We have started to dream again. We have started to make plans to rebuild. We have started to heal.

Even here, we are growing. Together.

I love you, Dustin. We’re going to be okay.

After a year of cancer scares, two CT scans, one M

After a year of cancer scares, two CT scans, one MRI, countless blood draws, and devastating news regarding our journey to have kids, it’s feels damn good to have good news to share today.

I am 15 years cancer free. I have officially lived half my life as a cancer survivor. That’s a win I will happily take and happily celebrate.

WBC has come back within normal ranges. I’m still severely anemic (to be expected right now with everything going on) so I’ll be going back for an Iron IV Transfusion on Friday to try to help my body catch back up after a hard few months of periods. Lymph nodes feel normal. Lungs sound good. Leg looks solid.

For 15 years, this body has fought to keep my cancer away. And despite all that we’re going though now, all’s I feel is an immense sense of love and gratitude for it. She has worked hard to keep me alive and as healthy as possible.

We’re on the same team, my body and I. And now it’s my turn to fight for her and get this toxic organ out and get healthy again.

On to the next year.
