Marriage & Turners

So as my wedding is getting closer (less than a month...eeep!!!!),  I have been thinking about how TS is going to affect my relationship with my husband. And you wanna know what I come up with....only ONE thing, the kids issue. Sure, I may not be able to have kids, but there are so many options that my future hubby and I can use to have our own family-Adoption, surrogacy, and even IVF (if that is a possibility) are all ways that are just as good as having your own kids to have a kid and start your own family. I know that they may not be the ideal options, and yes they can be pricey, but you can't look at those options as bad options, they will still give you what you want anyway, your own bouncing, bubbly, little boy or little girl. Now I'm a glass half full kind of girl, not a glass half empty kind of girl, and I admit that when I was first diagnosed with TS that I was devastated about not having children, but as I've grown up and thought about it, I will be a mother, no matter what way it happens, and that is ok with me. And even more importantly-I will love the child no matter how they come into my life so however a kid comes is totally ok with me :) And as for the Turners affecting my marriage, it won't. My hubby will have to get things off the tall shelves for me-but that's nothing new and I've been used to that for my whole life. So as I am looking forward to this next step in my life, I have a little advice for all my TS Sisters. Don't be afraid to date, put yourself out there. Once you've taken the big step and told the guy in your life about Turners, which I don't recommend doing until you guys are at a place where you will feel comfortable telling him, that is the hard part!!!! And if the guy doesn't react the way you think he will-well you don't deserve a guy who can't accept EVERY little thing about you, and there is a guy out there who will love you, and everything about you. So to steal something I have been seeing on Pinterest a lot, to all my TS Sisters-Keep Calm And Date On :)
