Ablationed

This last week I had an Endometrial Ablation - fun stuff.

I'm not sure why it effected me the way it did but it was a very emotional week prior to the procedure. You see, this means I can't have anymore kids. Yes, I already have FIVE kids. Yes, I already had a tubal ligation. But still. No, I have no desire to have anymore kids. But still. It means no way, no how. My body is done.

After the procedure they wheeled me out through the OB Unit. As soon as they opened the door, the smell about knocked me over. Fresh baby smell. Cue tears. No sad tears, just fresh baby tears. The kind that make you smile. They took me down on the same elevator I used when I was left the hospital after Cade and Callie were born. Bittersweet but mostly sweet.

I came home to a helpful husband, my kids waiting on me and everyone pampering me. Not a bad way to spend a Friday.

No more horrible "red" months, my kids are old enough to be helpful, I'm alive and healthy.

Maybe this 40 thing won't be too bad after all.
