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.🤍 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, it’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 aren’t able to visit yet and waiting for his CF team to give us a game plan today.

I’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 he’s in good hands.
Hang in there sugar💜 you got this💪🏻

Early miscarriage.
The day after Mother’s Day I took these two pregnancy tests… 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 God’s faithfulness. I never thought this would happen and I’m trying to navigate my emotions through this. I had already planned so much in my head and now it’s all gone. Gender reveals, summer baby bumps and Hayes having a sibling this winter… 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.

I’m starting to lose hope in this transfer… 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 “symptom” 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 I’m pregnant or not.

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

Embryo transfer date is…

April 24th!!!✨ Yep, this coming Monday🙈. We have had SO much going on that I haven’t been able to keep y’all updated on here. Taylor and I bought our first home and went camping in FL this week to surprise his mom. Now, it’s baby time!

I’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 it’s giving me all the feels! Stay tuned for the date🤗

My surgery went well and had my warrior socks to give me some comfort and courage the whole time. My OB actually didn’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 mom😁

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. It’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 Camp🐱

We lost a chicken the other day so we got a kitten🙈 This guy needed a home as my friend found him as a stray so Taylor and I couldn’t resist ourselves. I can already tell that Hayes and him are going to be best friends.

Swipe ➡️ 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 I’m loving it 😍

I just want to be treated like a human… 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 I’m still a person with emotions. This is making our decision to move our embryos a little easier.

I’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 crossed🤞🏻

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 I’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 rush🧡

Also, Hayes has the cutest hands I’ve ever seen🥰
