We just uploaded our first YouTube video on 5+ months. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ Link below in comments.

This definitely wasn't what we had in mind for the first video of 2026, but life happens.๐Ÿ˜Œ

This is a deeply personal topic, but one I wanted to share in the hopes of helping others who find themselves facing a similar (and common) diagnosis.

This also includes an update to the end of our fertility journey that we first shared with you all nearly 4 years ago. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

What a week! ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿคฉ๐ŸŒด It's our final night aboard the Norwegian Joy with our group and we've made some great memories.

Howard and I stayed on-board for our first two ports since I'm still in recovery mode. We ventured off the ship for a few hours in Tortola and got to visit the botanical gardens and the prison museum. We definitely want to come back and explore the Virgin Islands more one day! The color of the water is absolutely incredible. ๐Ÿ˜

Today we visited Norwegian's private island, Great Stirrup Cay and tomorrow we'll be back in Florida!

A big thanks to Today is Someday for bringing us all together to help host such a great trip for everyone! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ

Hello from the Caribbean! ๐Ÿ›ณ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‹

We set sail on Friday for our big collab cruise with Today is Someday, Changing Lanes and Grateful Glamper (+ about 200 new friends)!

We're onboard the Norwegian Joy for the week and having a great time relaxing, laughing, eating and making memories with everyone! ๐Ÿฅฐ

Good news all around!!! ๐ŸŽ‰

My 2 week post-op appointment went great. I'm healing up nicely and today marked the best I've felt in a long time. ๐Ÿ™Œ โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Ella's paw is on the mend, the swelling went down this afternoon (finally) and the vet said her incision is healing nicely. She even gave her the cutest little sunshine art on her bandage since we're heading to the sunshine state! โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

We're packing up the RV (well, Howard will since I'm on strict orders of no lifting, pushing or pulling ๐Ÿ˜…) and hitting the road South tomorrow. ๐Ÿš๐Ÿ’จ๐ŸŒด

We never intended to be in Virginia for 5 months, but life has a funny way of placing you exactly where you need to be sometimes. ๐Ÿฅฐ

Good vibes ahead for sure!! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Best Friday ever! I'm officially catheter free ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŽ‰

Facebook captions I NEVER thought I'd type, but this moment deserves celebrating!

That thing and I had a love/hate relationship. I love that it gave me the ability to heal my bladder (which was a major part of this operation) but hated the extreme discomfort and anxiety it caused.

My bladder passed the test with flying colors today and it's another big step forward in my healing journey! ๐Ÿ™Œโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Thank you all for cheering me on! ๐Ÿ“ฃ๐Ÿฅณ

Katelyn here checking in one week post-op! ๐Ÿ‘‹โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน

Thank you all so much for the well wishes, words of encouragement and messages you've sent. I've read them all and certainly feel the love! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿซถ

Recovery is a wild ride, both physically and mentally. The first picture is the day I came home and the last picture is from this morning, whatta difference a few days makes!

I have five incisions in my abdomen which are healing great but the hardest part mentally for me is the catheter I had to come home with ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

If you've ever had one for an extended period of time, I'm sure you can relate. 0/10 stars, do not recommend ๐Ÿ˜… but alas, it's mandatory for my healing and is a temporary situation for hopefully a permanent and positive outcome.

And if all goes well, I'll get it removed tomorrow. So cross your fingers for me!

Howard has been my absolute rock throughout my diagnosis, surgery and now recovery. He has always risen to the occasion when testing out the whole "in sickness and in health" part of marriage. But this is to an entirely new level. With 6 weeks of mandatory recovery and restrictions, he's truly carrying the team and I'm beyond thankful for the incredible partner he is. โค๏ธ

The furry nurses have been wonderful too, except for when they steal my heating pad ๐Ÿ˜…

I'll share more about the actual procedure soon, once my head is clearer. As I've always done through our ups and downs over the years, sharing is not only cathartic for me, but I truly believe we can learn from and help one another. And if one person relates or feels less alone, it's beyond worth it. ๐Ÿฅฐ
