Surgery

I had mixed emotions as we decided to go through with me having surgery. After many years of intense pain multiple times each month, dealing with infertilty, and coming to the understanding that our family would come through adoption I had a hysterectomy.

Surprising to many, I felt calm and at peace about our decision. Brandon and I have been blessed with the most wonderful little girl. She has brought so much joy to our family. She is ours and was meant to be in our family. Knowing that Heavenly Father will get his children where they need to be and seeing that happen first hand I know that this was the right decision.

The surgery went well and the healing process is well on its way. The most difficult part has been the restrictions of holding and picking up Emme. Emme being 10 months doesn't really understand why all of a sudden I won't pick her up. It has been so hard for me to see her reach for me and cry and have to tell her sorry and have someone else hep her. She has been a great little girl though.

We are so blessed to have wonderful family. Between Brandon's family and my family Emme has had many fun times the past few weeks. Each morning she heads to someones house for the day. Brandon goes to work and I sleep, watch movies, and read. It is so nice to know that we can turn to family to help us out during hard times. Thanks everyone for your help, we love you, and Emme loves playing with you all.

Besides our wonderful family, we have had great neighbors and ward members bring us yummy dinners and young women come and hang out with Emme. Thank you for your help. It means so much to us.

I am three weeks out of surgery and feeling great, now just three more weeks and I can get back to normal! :)
