Embracing Change: A Bittersweet Journey of Getting A Salpingdectomy

Alexa, play Blackbird by The Beatles ♬♪♩

Life has a way of leading us down unexpected paths, where joy and sadness often intertwine. Recently, I made the difficult decision to get my tubes taken out—a choice that brought forth a wave of complex emotions. In this post, I want to share my heartfelt journey—a story of longing, acceptance, and ultimately, finding the strength to embrace a new chapter in my life.

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you’ll know that I have had more failed pregnancies than successful. After enduring years of loss and heartbreak, including a recent one in late 2022, I decided to undergo a salpingdectomy, removing one or both fallopian tubes. This choice was about taking control of my body, prioritizing my mental well-being, and learning to move forward, as living with constant hardship had become challenging.

March 2023 was a big month. March felt like the end of an era for me as I will no longer be able to have children. The realization of this definitely weighed heavy on my heart. And it’s a loss that I’m learning to navigate and embrace. The dreams I once held dear may have shifted, but in this space of transition, I’m finding solace in knowing that my family of five is already a treasure beyond measure.

Amidst the sadness, a spark of excitement ignites within me. With my salpingdectomy, I’m free to embark on a journey of self-discovery and rekindle the passions and dreams I’ve set aside. Because as moms, we always come last when it comes to the echelon of taking care of people. The future holds endless possibilities for me to explore, to venture out and find myself again. I can nourish my own growth and flourish in ways I may not have imagined before

Change can be bittersweet, but it also offers a chance to redefine what family means to me. While I may not be able to expand our family biologically, the love and connection we share go beyond the confines of genetics. Our bond transcends blood, and in the embrace of my partner and children, I find immeasurable joy. We are a family of five, and together, we weave a tapestry of love and togetherness.

As I move forward, I celebrate the freedom and autonomy that comes with my decision. I take pride in knowing that my choices regarding my own body are mine alone. This newfound empowerment grants me the courage to embrace the journey of self-discovery, to seize opportunities that bring me joy and fulfillment, and to create a life that reflects my true essence.

In the depths of sadness, the spark of excitement, and the joy of cherishing my beautiful family, I find the strength to navigate this bittersweet journey. Life is like a symphony, composed of harmonious and contrasting notes, creating a mesmerizing and ever-evolving melody. And as I embrace change, I’m reminded that this chapter offers both growth and gratitude. Though the road may be uncertain, I’m ready to step forward, hand in hand with my loved ones, ready to create a future that is uniquely ours.

@zeezeesfoods never misses with their great snacks @zeezeesfoods never misses with their great snacks for kiddos! Mine can’t get enough of these gluten free half-popped popcorn from Zee Zees – with yummy choices like salsa, sea salt, and cocoa churro, they’re on cloud nine! And the best part? One of my little adventurers has a nut allergy, so the fact that these treats are crafted in a nut-free facility brings me so much peace of mind. 

Sending them off to school with Zee Zees snacks not only keeps them smiling, but it’s also a better-for-you option that aligns perfectly with their needs. And guess what? You can join in on the fun too! Just head over to www.zeezees.com and use the code ZZBTS23 to score 15% off your order! 

Hurry, because snack time waits for no one! #ZeeZeesBackToSchool #sponsored
Finally got to see my fav flowers for my 31st birt Finally got to see my fav flowers for my 31st birthday🌻 

Aug 6 was my birthday! We have been celebrating since the first of the month (and still are)! We planned to do so much for the last two weeks and I’m so happy we were able to do almost everything 😊 

Year 31 is off to a great start 🥰

This summer has been no joke! It's like a never-ending sauna out here 🥵 We’re out here trying to cool off with water balloons, the sprinkler, and even spraying the kids down with the hose. 

Any fun tips to cool ourselves down in the summer sun?
✨ life lately ✨ Oh boy, summer so far has be ✨ life lately ✨ 

Oh boy, summer so far has been a blast! We've been having so much fun going on all sorts of adventures in the past month. I’ve really tried to be more intentional this summer and slow down and enjoy it for as long as possible. I can’t wait for what's in store for the rest of this sun-soaked season. It's going to be great! 😊☀️
Don’t mind me, just out here trying embrace my i Don’t mind me, just out here trying embrace my inner gardener! 🌱

Since moving to Wisconsin and buying our first home, I’ve become the proud owner of the wildest and most chaotic garden around. It thrives on chaos(my specialty), surprises me with unexpected growth (and disappearance), and makes gardening an exhilarating rollercoaster ride 🙃 I’m literally so surprised everytime I walk through my garden! 

We’ve got all kinds of odd flowers I’ve never seen before, trees that might or might not have fruit on them, veggies of some sort growing, BUT I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IM DOING 🫠

Can someone please teach me gardening 101? 😂🌱

It’s so bittersweet watching my babies growing up so fast. I’m proud of who they’re becoming and all the amazing things they’ll do in the future, but part of me can’t help but feel a little sad. They’ll never be this age again and I’m just trying to soak up as much of this time as I can. Here’s to the bittersweet moments that come with parenthood ♥️♥️♥️
