Can't believe this part of my life is over

In 2008 when I had my Roux-en-Y, I did it with one thing in mind...BABIES! I wanted babies more than anything and was so heavy at the time that I had not had a period in 3 years, terrible PCOS, and was told it was unlikely I would never have kids even with weight loss surgery. 6 months post op I received the miraculous news I was pregnant (while taking depo!). My doctor told me it was likely it would not be viable, but we would wait and see. 9 months later my miracle Nolan was born. A week before his second birthday, my daughter Lily was born. My whole life I have dreamt about getting married and starting a family of my own and I just can't believe that part of my life has come and gone. I had two very challenging pregnancies with extended bedrest. I don't want to chance another one, so Tuesday I am getting my tubes tied. I am at peace with my decision and unbelievably grateful for my son and daughter, but still have some sadness nonetheless. Please keep me in your prayers on Tuesday. I am always wary when I have to go under for surgery considering I ended up on a ventilator for a week after my Roux-en-Y when they injured my trachea during intubation. Good luck everyone on your journeys.I know first hand the ups and the downs. I have had the pleasure of having two amazing, beautiful children and I wish the very same for each and every one of you

 Congratulations to you on your two beautiful blessings!! But I don't know why you say that this part of your life is over, now you have your entire childrens life to experience the joy of being a mommy. Which in my opinion is the best job there is and could ever be. I just saw a quote today that I think you will appreciate just as I did. "I don't care how poor a man is; if he has a family, he is rich. - Dan Wilcox. Good luck with your surgery, I will definitely say a prayer that all goes well. 

I know where you are comming from, and I understand. I will definately say a prayer for you but I am sure all will be well in Jesus name. Your children are adorable and you were blessed with both boy and girl so now enjoy them. Mommy does not begin when you are carrying your babies but raising them. much love and encouragement on your new journey God bless you 

I had my tubes tied after my CS with my son.  Ask the docs to do a spinal instead of putting you under general anesthesia.  It's much safer.

i know how you feel, I dreamt of being a mom and nothing else when I was a kid. I have my boys and my baby girl that I love more than life itself. I know that they are more than enough for me. plus I wanted to make sure I was the best mom for the kids I do have and not have all my time or attention taken away from them by having more children. Even though we are at peace it still makes me sad that I wont feel another life growing inside of me, sharing all the secret kicks and wiggles that only us moms know about. or expeience the pure rush of love and joy when they are born.  At the same time I get to to look ahead at all the fun the future will hold with my kids as the grow.
