baby coming along well.
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.
