I'm planning a Bon Voyage party.
My uterus has been pregnant five times. My uterus has given birth to four healthy babies. H weighed 8 pounds 12 ounces. B weighed 9 pounds 13 ounces. Lil O weighed 7 pounds and 12 ounces. Baby M weighed 8 pounds 6 ounces (I think).
I think it's time to bid it farewell.
Here I am, a 36 year old mom blessed to have 4 healthy children. I've thought about having just one more baby but Superdad wasn't agreeable to that. I'm okay with that though. I think it's time to focus on the four children I have and focus more on myself and Superdad.
Yes, I will miss holding a new baby, breastfeeding a baby, sleeping with a new baby and even that new baby smell. But I am okay with not having any more children.
Yesterday I went for my vaginal ultrasound. Even though you cannot really diagnose adenomysis until a hysterectomy and biopsy but my scans are textbook photos for adenomysis.
One is out because I'm tired of the heavy bleeding, low back pain and dealing with anemia.
Two is out because I just don't like the sound of the procedure. We'd have to take permanent birth control actions because I couldn't get pregnant after the ablation. I never wanted my tubes tied or I would have already had it done and Superdad doesn't want the Big V.
Three takes care of the problem.
My doctor said I would spend one night in the hospital, two weeks of no driving and two months of no housework or taking care of kids. I asked, "So, what's the downside?" HA HA!
She told me to come home to think and pray about it. There is no rush.
I really think that going in I had already made my mind up for the hysterectomy.
Now, I need to talk more to Superdad, my family and friends because I will need them during this process more than before.
Then I will call my doc to schedule the hysterectomy so I can be recovered by the holidays!!!

I can do 1 of 3 things.
1 ~ Nothing
2 ~ Ablation
3 ~ Vaginal Hysterectomy

I just had the Ablation a few months ago, and it was a super easy procedure and recovery even w/out Ed around to help. Big B needs to take one for the home team at get a V. Ed did it, and was back at work the next day.
