FULL VIDEO VERSION IN STORY HIGHLIGHTS! SOUND UP! We were told by 4 different doctors that we would need extensive surgeries in order to grow our family. We had SO many road blocks. PCOS, Endometriosis, Uterine Didelphys, Slow Swimmers- you name it.
A few months ago, Caleb and I sat in the doctor's office for my pre-op appointment, my surgery scheduled for 2 days later, when our doctor read us some unfavorable test results and told us we needed to post pone the surgery until they were straightened out.
We went out to the car and cried and prayed together. We were so exhausted, crushed. Another road block- yet another thing keeping us from growing our family. I remember being really angry with God- I kept asking Caleb why God, who was supposed to be so good, was putting us through all of this. My sweet Caleb simply squeezed my hand and told me we would understand someday.
We set an appointment with the specialist our doctor referred us to, but before we could even get to the appointment, in fact, the DAY OF what should have been my post-op appointment, we discovered God had other plans No surgery. No testing. No more tears.
In fact, had those test results came back normal, the way we had hoped & felt we somehow deserved, and had we went through with the surgery, I would not be sharing this post today!
I can't believe I'm typing this! But we are expecting a new little Grim late October, early November. ❤ THANK YOU to EVERYONE for all your prayers through all this!
Please share this for anyone who may need hope who may be going through what we did- not only through infertility (I'm a HUGE advocate for speaking out and supporting each other, especially when it comes to PCOS, Endometriosis, and other infertility problems), but also in waiting and trusting through all the “nos” and “somedays” ❤️ We definitely STILL need allllll the prayers- we are still considered a high-risk pregnancy and have been told we'll be lucky to make it to 34 weeks- and it might be a little dangerous for me- but God has done greater things than this for us this year, so we have high hopes ❤ #TheBabyGrim
My belly is swelling for a completely different reason than most my age. So long uterus!
I have a uterus marred and misshapen by disease, and it's destroying other organs and attacking my nerves in my spine. I've had an inkling of a feeling since I was 19 that this was gonna happen, but thought it would happen in my late 30s. There are many days where I just wanted to take a kitchen knife and take it out myself because I was in such a dark and painful place, both mind and body. But I'm tired of waiting and tired of slowly giving up things, exhausted from fighting my own body.
I just want people to know that someone can be standing right in front of you with a smile on their face "acting normal" and they can be hurting inside so much they want to crumble to the ground in a fit of rage screaming and uncontrollable tears. And I want people to know it's okay to struggle. And it's okay to reach out for help. And it's okay to talk about hard things. How are we supposed to make peace with things we are too scared to talk about?
Thankfully I get to keep my ovaries, because going through menopause at 26 would be terrible. Kids aren't in our future at this point but if we do decide to expand our family, we have surrogacy or adoption to look forward to. It's going to be a long journey to recovery, but I've been suffering for decades, so what's a little bit longer to get better?
We will be in Oregon for surgery June 11th. Please pray, send good vibes, rain dance, whatever you may do, our way. Much love to those around us who have reached out, been a shoulder to cry on, and taken me to countless doctor visits. And the biggest thanks to my husband, who didn't sign up for this but has been my absolute rock through these last tough years.

We are sorry for being MIA recently... BUT! We are in the process of planning something VERY, VERY exciting! Can you guess what it is? ♀️ More will be revealed later on this week so be sure to follow our socials so you are the first to know. We cannot wait to share this with you all. Thank you for your patience and your ongoing support. It is going to be amazing x
After over 2 weeks of severe pain, I got referred to the hospital today and the Doctor said I’ve exhausted all my options with all of the treatments I’ve attempted and changes I’ve made to my daily living.
The only thing that *MAY* work is a steroid/local anaesthetic injection under a guided ultrasound into my joint to see if that helps. There’s no guarantee it will work and if it does, it could improve my quality of life for a couple of weeks or maybe a couple of months.
I definitely think it’s worth trying so I’ll keep you guys posted #desperatetimes
