Olivia's Surgery & Evie's first cereal

Hey everyone, this is Olivia's husband here for an update. The surgery (see last post) was last Friday and everything is going very well! She is home and still recovering. Things are still pretty painful for her but today she is feeling much better than the first few days. She hopes to get an update up within the next couple of weeks...whenever our little Evie turns 5 months! Here are some pictures from last weekend. Evie had cereal for the first time! Enjoy everyone!

A sad discovery

Well, the past week has been a slow, painful, and very emotional one for me. I have been having severe pains in my stomach for almost two weeks now so I knew it was time to go to the doctor. I had known that I needed to go whenever the pains first started but I put it off because I feared the worst. Now, know that I have always had issues with my ovaries (ovarian cist) and it is a true miracle that I was able to conceive Miss Evie. That is why I have been putting off going to the doctor because I feared that word..hysterectomy. Well, after being x-rayed for this and scanned for that, the decision has been made that I do need to have a complete hysterectomy. This means that I will be having a serious surgery in one week and be out of commission for awhile. I will get my hubby to keep you all posted on how things are going and we will take plenty of pictures of Evie RuRu to show off. I have been a little down about all of this mostly because we were planning to try for another baby next year. Now, we will begin the adoption process the middle of next year. I am so excited that adoption is such an open option for us and I cannot wait to get it on the road. We still have a while but when the time is right, we will begin that journey to bring our little one home. I just wanted to let you all know what was going on. Prayers would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much!
