"For I will restore health to you And heal you of your wounds,' says the LORD (Jer 30:17)
So this post is a long time coming. Truly not much has been going on in my everyday life. I still have been going going going at work, learning everyday what it means to be a good wife, designing wedding invites like crazy (which I hope to post photos of soon) and loving this warm weather.
My health has been nothing but exciting, however, for these last few months. I've been having severe abdominal pains for a while now. I've been misdiagnosed a few times and have seen about 4-5 doctors about it. Well the pains got to the point that I couldn't stand it anymore so I went to see my GYN about it. She said it sounded like Endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a debilitating gynecological medical condition in females in which cells or implants appear and flourish in areas outside the uterus and can cause severe pelvic pain during your menstrual cycle. I've been told I might have this before, but they always just put me on birth control pills to help lessen the pain. Well that really doesn't work since Brandon and I have come to the point where we are ready to start a family. Endometriosis can cause infertility in some women so I was advised to really start thinking about starting a family soon.
Well after a series of ultrasounds my doctor decided to do a lapraoscopy and a hysteroscopy procedures to take a look and to cauterize the Endometriosis she would find. I had the procedures done on June 15th and everything went well and they found a significant amount of Endo which they got rid of and a polyp growth in my uterus which she removed. Doesn't that sound pleasant? Ha Ha!!! It was anything but.
All I do now is wait to see if it works. I should see the effects maybe this cycle. This whole process has been very traumatic and long for me. I've endured many years of pain and I'm hoping to finally have some kind of relief. I'm hoping and praying that these little issues don't effect mine and Brandon's ability to have children. I want to be a mom so bad, but I trust that God is in control of that. I'm leaning on him for guidance through all this and would appreciate any prayers you would like to send my way. I know any and all things are possible when you trust in the Lord.
Well we have some exciting things coming up this summer. Two of my best friends Lindsey and Kari are getting married this summer. Lindsey July 21st in Vegas baby. I'm hosting a lingerie shower for her next Saturday. Should be a lot of fun. Then we leave for Vegas July 19th and Brandon's 30th Birthday is July 20th. Kari is getting married August 28th in Oklahoma City and my dear friend Shanda is having her second baby Adele at the end of August as well. So exciting!!! Plus my cousin is getting married and we are also attending 2 or 3 other weddings of friends. I'll post pics of all the events soon.

Hoping that everything turns out the way that your heart desires. Also, praying that you will be at peace with whatever comes of the situation whether it be the way you had hoped or not.
God will bless you through this and you just have to trust that he has your best interest at heart!
