Looks like mischief's afoot!
By now you and Tommy are well bonded and thoroughly enjoying each other.
Thanks for the peek!
Before long he will be hogging the computer and you will have to get a new one!

First of all.. CONGRATULATIONS!!! Your baby is womderful!
Also, You give me hope for the future. I am 35, with BC stage IV, mets on liver and brain... fantastic isn't it?! But was thnking of freezing embryos, and maybe through srrogacy, in the future let the 'door' of a baby open... I would be very grateful if you could tell me how your pregrancy went. Thank you so much and congratulations again. Beatrice

Baby
You can e-mail privately if you would like. The surrogates pregnancy went perfect! I cut the embylical cord and he is the perfect baby! Are you NED? It would be difficult to get an IVF center to work with you if you are not NED and you need the support of your oncologist. Have you ever discussed this with him or her? Good luck and never quit!!

That is one beautiful baby bumble bee! Those cheeks, I just want to kiss 'em. So pretty. Can I say that about a boy? What a special bond there is a between a boy and his mother. I have that with my son. I remember the days when he would come down in the mornings and just want to cuddle and now it's what's for breakfast? Enjoy, they grow up so fast.... I am so very happy for you.
