I went to the doctor a few weeks ago for a "physical". I had it set up before the last surgery but postponed it for after- just for peace of mind, I guess.
I told the female doctor about all the surgeries and the miscarriage. She said I should wait a year from surgery to get pregnant. She told me, "Spend some time with your husband; travel; NEST!" Really? Really, lady? You don't know me... "We've been together for nine years; married for three. We've traveled all over this country. We were ready to have a baby LAST year! (insert TEARS)." I spared her the details of the baby's room that we've had planned since we bought the house, and the fact that we've had our baby named since we got engaged...
Needless to say, I argued her down to six to nine months! But in my head it's like three to six... ;)
I need something to occupy my time or I'm never gonna make it THAT long! All I can think of doing is setting up the spare room for easy transition to baby room, crocheting toys for babies, and cleaning the house!
We'll see how long I can wait....
After suffering for almost 8 years with Ulcerative Colitis, I finally a total colectomy. It has been long road to recovery and learning how to live with my new body. Here are some tid-bits of my life without a colon as I navigate insurance, doctors, and the added bonus of IVF and surrogacy.

Paid in full!!
Our benefit show went really well. So many people came out; a lot of people who have made a difference in my recovery! I have been so lucky to have so many people who love and care for me in my life.
Most bands covered a Beatles song for me and I even got a No Doubt and a Fernandina mix-in! I sold a lot of my crafts and the shirts were a hit! It was a GREAT night- and a great morning after counting our funds!
The next week I called the hospital to see if they would discount my bill if I paid a large sum- AND THEY DID!!! We were able to pay it off in full!!!
Thank you to everyone who helped out- financially and emotionally!!
XOXOXO
