Finally a little good news this week. My liver looks good! Cancer free from the ultrasound. Sarah was with me today, I had the ultrasound on so many organs, the tech even looked at my baby! I got to see my baby again today rolling around moving its arms. Then Sarah joined me and we waited. The radiologist came in and said liver looks good and took a few looks himself and then said everything looks good. Meanwhile we joked how Sarah is also pregnant and I asked the radiologist if they could quickly show Sarah my baby! He laughed and said yes, but I'm not doing it to her! So Auntie Sarah saw her niece or nephew today!! Thanks everyone for the comments and support and keeping my spirits up!
So Cheers to a healthy liver! Drink one for me! xoxo

The 12 week Ultrasound and the Lump. March 3, 2010
The day has come! 12 weeks, time to see our baby! The ultrasound was amazing! The baby looked like it waved to us, moving all around! How incredible for something so small to have so many features. Like most parents, we were amazed, relieved, thankful and for us, the happiest we had been in 4 years! We were having a baby, and had the ultrasound pictures to prove it! And yes, that day we told everyone else we knew.
After the ultrasound we met with the OB and I had an exam. During the breast exam, she felt a lump on my left breast. I remember Larry had felt a lump a week or so back, and asked me about it, but I thought, being pregnant, my body and breast were changing and I wasn’t concerned. To be thorough, the doctor suggested I go have a breast ultrasound but assured me not to worry, 90% of breast lumps are cysts or non cancerous tissue masses. For the next few days it was on my mind, but I decided to stop worrying about it. I was only 34, there was no history of breast cancer in my family, why would I have cancer? The chances are so small. And I was pregnant! And I deserve to be excited about it! So I was.

Positive test result!!! Jan 5th, 2010
I remember that day so clearly. The doctor’s office called, my voicemail had a new message. I couldn’t wait until I got home and my sister couldn’t either. My friend Tijana and I went to a private area at work, and on speaker, listened to the message together. “I am happy to tell you, you have a positive pregnancy test result.” We screamed! I cried! My first positive pregnancy test ever! I quickly called Sarah (yes, before Larry) and then Larry and my mom and soon after my friends. A few days later my second test and yes, I’m still pregnant! I was never so excited, so ecstatic! Finally!
To make it even better, Sarah was having a baby too! And as fate may have it, we were both due on Sept 12th! It is so wonderful to be able to go through this experience with both your husband and your best friend! Maybe this is why it took me so long to get pregnant? So Larry and I could share the journey with Sarah and Jesse!
