Welcome friends!!!

We are so glad you stopped by to share our blog. We love life and each other immensely. As much as we want to be with everyone at once it is just impossible, at least until they finalize that cloning stuff (jk). So this is a way for us to keep in touch with you and for you guys to share things with us. Do not be shy. We love to hear from friends new and old (especially if it has been a while). Let's chat, let's catch up, let's reconnect.

We wish you only the very best,
Kimani, Datnee, Nehemiah, Kimberlee, Daniel, and Naomi Smith

Outpatient Procedure

Well, it has been a heck of a week. Last Wednesday and Thursday I was in bed with so much pain. The same pain that keeps coming occassionally since March, but it has been getting much much worst. My good friend Marisol came over to take me to the ER and after some tests they found some suspicious mass on my ovaries, so I followed up with my OBGYN the next Monday and it turns out I have an endometrioma on my left ovary which has to be removed and most likely so will the ovary itself. The doctor told me that the endometrioma is the most likely culprit for my infertility and he assured me that after the removal of the mass and the ovary the chances to conceive will be much greater.

I am so scared and I feel so wierd knowing that I will be walking around with one less body part. I mean am sure that it is for the best, and I am confident in the fact that if this were not necessary he would have suggested another option, but even when you logically know all these things your emotions are still on a rollercoaster. Kimani has been really supportive and amazingly understanding in terms of my lack of ability to do much around the house any more. He has really stepped up his game even when his plate is already so full of other things. I am so lucky to have him.

Not only that, but the family has really come in to show their support and have been giving me so much help in so many different ways. I am so thankful for each and everyone of them.

That is all for now, I will certainly keep you posted.
