2010 was a pretty rough year for Leroy and me. It started off with laparoscopy surgery which resulted in removal of stage 2 endometriosis. We trudged along with out infertility journey which, by the end of 2010, was about 4 years. Mid-year we labored hard as we pieced back together our townhouse which we use as a rental property. It was basically trashed by the previous tenant. After depleting our savings and stabbing us with more debt, we finally finished and placed a new tenant (who, so far, are wonderful people). That was the light at the end of the tunnel. We closed out the year with some incredible news: we were finally pregnant!!! Through the ups and downs, the tears and pain, God answered our prayer. We were given a due date of July 26th, 2011. 6 weeks into our pregnancy, we discovered that not only had God answered our prayers, but doubled our blessing: we are pregnant with twins!!!
At the moment, I am currently 15 weeks (and 2 days). I thought that maybe I would backtrack and post about the past 7 weeks or so, but I figured I would write just a brief blurb about it. From this point on, I'll try my best to journal my pregnancy going forth.
It seems I had a pretty good first trimester. Not once did I have morning sickness and throw up!!! I was nauseous only when I was hungry. Of course, that turned into every 2 hours (or less). When nothing else sounded good to eat, Greek food almost always sounded good (lamb gyros to be exact). Oranges and cherry tomatoes were my favorite snack foods. I experience your typical tiredness and sleepiness. One of the most frustrating things was getting up every hour at night to go pee. Fortunately, that calmed down once I entered my second trimester, WHEW!
Leroy was and continues to be an amazing man. I'm so grateful for how well he takes care of me. He has gone out to get me my gyros and cherry tomatoes. He cleaned more and took care of the laundry (well, he washed them, dried them and sat them in baskets). He made sure I was comfortable. I couldn't ask for anything more.
Again, I'm so extremely thankful for these two tiny blessings that God has allowed us to experience. I'm so excited for what will come.
