Meet The Stroops We are the STROOPS! We decided to travel the country in our RV and help spread awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. So join us on our new adventure!

Hello, we are the Stroops and we are currently traveling the United States in our RV. Our mission is to spread awareness for Cystic Fibrosis while seeing this beautiful country. We have our ups and downs with CF and it affects us every day. Join us as our journey is just beginning!

We had these pictures taken the day before we found out I was no longer pregnant a few months ago.šŸ¤ Although it was one of the hardest things we went through, looking back at these pictures reminds me of how much joy Hayes brings to our family.

Cystic Fibrosis post:
After 5 1/2 years of being healthy and out of the hospital, itā€™s time for a lung tune up for Taylor.

Our small fam got sick this week and took a bigger toll on him. His oxygen was lower, heart rate higher, coughing more and has flu like symptoms. His CF clinic is in Nashville so Hayes and I arenā€™t able to visit yet and waiting for his CF team to give us a game plan today.

Iā€™ve been dreading for this to happen, but I knew the time would come. Having to be a mother while my husband is in the hospital but I know heā€™s in good hands.
Hang in there sugaršŸ’œ you got thisšŸ’ŖšŸ»

Early miscarriage.
The day after Motherā€™s Day I took these two pregnancy testsā€¦ they came back negative. I called my clinic and had bloodwork done the next day to confirm that I was no longer pregnant as my hcg was at 7.

The amount of sadness and suffering that is happening in our little family feels unbearable but I keep trying to lean on Godā€™s faithfulness. I never thought this would happen and Iā€™m trying to navigate my emotions through this. I had already planned so much in my head and now itā€™s all gone. Gender reveals, summer baby bumps and Hayes having a sibling this winterā€¦ gone.

Thankfully we have embryos to give life to, but right now we have to wait. I share this not for sympathy but maybe to make other women not feel alone.

God sometimes I have no idea where you are taking me, but I trust you with my whole heart. Proverbs 3:5-6

The past couple of days have been hard. I always want to be honest on here as I know others might be feeling the same way.

Iā€™m starting to lose hope in this transferā€¦ I woke up with negative/doubtful thoughts. I never felt this way with Hayes. There was so much faith and positivity so this feeling is new for me.

The only ā€œsymptomā€ I have is hunger and I feel like I had more symptoms the first, but I also was on a lot more medications. My bloodwork is next week to confirm if Iā€™m pregnant or not.

Today, Iā€™m trying to focus on believing and putting all my faith in God. Definitely harder said than do but still trying.

April 24th!!!āœØ Yep, this coming MondayšŸ™ˆ. We have had SO much going on that I havenā€™t been able to keep yā€™all updated on here. Taylor and I bought our first home and went camping in FL this week to surprise his mom. Now, itā€™s baby time!

Iā€™ve been placing estrogen patches every other day and will continue until my appointment next week. Then, I will have an ultrasound/labs done to make sure my uterus is good to go for progesterone.

My nurse gave me a date for the transfer which was sooner than I thought and itā€™s giving me all the feels! Stay tuned for the datešŸ¤—

My surgery went well and had my warrior socks to give me some comfort and courage the whole time. My OB actually didnā€™t find any polyps which is disappointing bc they were a few in September. But at least we know now my uterus is clean and ready to go for transfer #2.

The last surgery, I was completely awake but this time (at a different hospital/state) I was under anesthesia. Which was a great nap for momšŸ˜

Now we wait a month for my uterus to heal and officially start our second transfer in a month or two!

Our embryos are moving!

After finding an ivf clinic near us, we finally made the decision to move our embryos from CO to TN. The process was surprisingly easier than I thought with signing some documents and reaching out to a mailing service. Itā€™s such a relief that our embryo babies are going to be close to us. Now on to the next step for our 2nd transfer!

Everyone meet CampšŸ±

We lost a chicken the other day so we got a kittenšŸ™ˆ This guy needed a home as my friend found him as a stray so Taylor and I couldnā€™t resist ourselves. I can already tell that Hayes and him are going to be best friends.

Swipe āž”ļø to see what we bought for our family adventures!

Taylor and I have always been excited to show our children the camp life. Now, we get to share this lifestyle with Hayes!

One day we will buy an RV or a van but for now this pop up will do the trick. This is bringing back all the feels and Iā€™m loving it šŸ˜

I just want to be treated like a humanā€¦ not a number.

Going through IVF/infertility is HARD and you would think your ivf team would be a little sensitive towards you during this difficult time. I understand they probably have a ton of patients but Iā€™m still a person with emotions. This is making our decision to move our embryos a little easier.

Iā€™ve made an appointment with a local clinic in November and praying that I get a better experience with them. The appointment is a little further out than I wanted but it takes a little bit of pressure off of me. Fingers crossedšŸ¤žšŸ»

After I took some time to process, we are currently in the waiting for our second embryo transfer. Having our embryos in CO might be too difficult for us and Iā€™m not feeling great with our clinic there even though we were successful the first time.

I found an OB that I feel comfortable with and can do my polyp removal surgery here locally. But for now our next step is to find an IVF clinic closer to us.

I never thought my second round of growing our family would be harder than the first (at least it seems that way now). Taylor is taking on some ivf tasks and we are taking one little step at a time with no rushšŸ§”

Also, Hayes has the cutest hands Iā€™ve ever seenšŸ„°

I got the call to start birth control todayā€¦ The very first medication to start another transferšŸ˜¬

Most of you might be thinking ā€œwhy is she taking birth control when trying to have a baby?ā€ But itā€™s so they can control my cycle through all of this.

Iā€™m still waiting to hear from the office to schedule my uterine testing and to meet with my dr in Colorado. Iā€™m thinking it will be soon!

IVF here we comeā€¦again!

All of the emotions are rushing back now that Taylor and I have decided to start ivf for the second time. We have 4 embryos left and donā€™t want to wait too long in between transfers as we want to give them each a chance.

Iā€™m terrified of the testing and injections againā€¦ I feel like the first round you are on an adrenaline rush but now I know what to expect (which Iā€™m not sure is good or bad).

Once I start my cycle, I will inform my nurse, possibly start birth control and then fly to CO (where our embryo babies are) for uterine testing. If all looks good, then I will probably start the meds.

Transfer usually takes about 4 months with my clinic, so let the process begin!

Heā€™s does not like being in the car seat, being still, and loud noises.

5 years of marriage!

Tennessee here we come!

We have been living in Sarasota as a transition from Denver to get to Chattanooga, TN and will be moving June 1st!

Iā€™m beyond excited bc this is where I grew up, itā€™s where Taylor and I met, got married and now get to raise our family here. We found a little house on a mountain which has been our dream since knowing each otheršŸ’› Canā€™t wait for this adventure!
