baby coming along well.

[LAURIE]

Just wanted to update that things are going well with the pregnancy. We have had 2 ultrasounds already b/c of my "advanced maternal age" and had quad screening that put our risk of downs at 1:2000. Talk about great odds. I just cannot believe everything is going so well. I am at 25 weeks. I go to the ONC today or my 3 month check up. I am anxious that my blood work will not be great but I am more excited to show off my baby bump. My lymphedema has been a little more aggravated as I get further along but I am coping. I plan on talking to my ONC about how to get a mammo while pregnant or breast feeding. I am worried about missing a good mammo. I was hoping my lumpy breast would produce but no, no, no. I now have 1 megaboob. I cannot believe how big it is getting. I was never self conscious about my surgery before but now I may have to get a chicken cutlet to even things out. We still cannot decide on a name for our little boy. I want something different, but not too different. We are due Feb.9th. I really thought about NED like someone else suggested but my husband was not sold on it. There are so many "n" ending names I like but they are so common. The middle name will be David. I was sold on Lucas but then I forgot my cousin already has a Lucas. So many options.

Hi Laurie,

Thanks for posting your update on your pregnancy - it is so nice to hear this happy news.

There are lots of websites for baby names - I'm sure something will pop out to you and DH - how about Mason or Rogan? Just suggestions.

all the best

Glad all is so well with you. And nothing like a child to keep you on your toes. I get to be a grandma again in May!

You could honor Dr. Slamon and call your baby Dennis or Denny. Not sure how that flows with your last name, but not too bad with David.

All the best for a great checkup!

Laurie WONDERFUL News that all is well with the baby.

I like the name Logan and Liam.

Most baby name books also have the meanings of names too. Obviously the name Victor must mean victorious (which you are). So maybe you should look at names and their meanings and find something (or someone) meaningful to you and your husband.

Give your son a little pat from me.

Laurie-

So glad to hear how things are going for you !!! If mammo is not feasible- would a ultra sound work ?

Don't worry about the name- it will come just in time.

My husband's name is Parke and he has a brother named Cameron (Cam)... I think those names are different -considering they are old family names !

Some members have offered some nice ones as well. Maybe we should start a baby naming thread just for you !!!

Stay well ---

Well, Laurie,

In the meantime, why not post a picture of your "baby bump"?? We'd love to see it!

I'm gonna be a grammy for the first time in Dec. I've been making my daughter walk with me every day!!! She moans and whines, but she does it because she knows its good for me too!

Great to hear that you are doing so well!
