Womb-less

As I sit here typing next to my husband who is deeply sleeping, I am feeling very blessed. I've kissed my kids as they sleep at least 4 times tonight.. some call that OCD, I just call it being an awesome mom! ;)

I don't feel I am missing anything, although, technically, I am. I had a hysterectomy a week and a half ago. Yep. I am 28 soon-to-be 29 and I had my uterus taken out, by a robot no less.

I am blessed with two amazing kids and my husband actually had a vasectomy in 2005. So, we weren't planning on anymore kids, but I guess I always had that little hope that he would get a reversal.;) I think I only wanted another one maybe because I couldn't have one? I prayed about it often and felt I was, in fact, done having kids. Now, the deal is sealed.

It was the best decision for what I've been going through the last 6 years. Thankfully, I still have my ovaries so NO menopause for me this young!! phew!

The best part of having the surgery, is the amazing help we received from friends. I've never had such high caliber friends in my life. I know I've become a better friend the last couple years and I do try to give service to others, but the service my family has received the last couple of weeks would humble anyone.

Calls, meals, babysitting, rides, texts, emails, cards, ect. The list goes on. I am so grateful to be in this place in my life and have such amazing people that I trust and would do anything for close around me. One of the sweetest things I got was a beautiful bouquet of flowers the day after surgery from my ex-husband and his wife! They had just visited Las Vegas from Utah and they actually took both Kai AND Ashtyn out to get frozen yogurt. I am so grateful for my relationship with them as well.

I have a deeper appreciation for service. Even the little things. And, MEALS! Oh how they are such a blessing! Anyway, I'm feeling deeply blesses, grateful, and loved.

Ahhhh, I love my life.
