I think we are having a girl

My daughter (and her husband) finally made it in on Thursday. Since she is in the army I have seen her only once in two years and finally met her husband for first time. We had the ultrasound yesterday and although the legs were crossed our other daughter (ultrasound technician) said she thought it was a girl. We go back on Tuesday to see if this modest little baby will uncross it's legs so we can see the "plumbing." I saw the baby opening and closing it's mouth for about 25 seconds. Looked like the baby was talking up a storm (takes after her mommy). She is 5 months. I am so excited. If that isn't something to fight this battle for, I'm not sure what is (however I can still think of surviving for lots of reasons) 
I get my daughter for 10 days and look so forward to spending quality time with her. It is so wonderful how children can bring such pleasure at any age. I am fortunate to have 8 wonderful children and blessed. We had the baby shower today and had a wonderful time. I was actually able to enjoy myself without hurting so bad all day. It took my mind off a lot and I was glad for that.

ahh a baby! Congrats
ahh a baby! Congrats grandma!
On May 16th 2008 I became a grandmother for the first time Then 4 days later I was dx'd with cc 
It was this little baby that got me through the tough times and yes, he gave me something worth fighting for.
I took care of him last night- 15 months old- he was so cute tottling up to me, with his blanket in one hand, a book in the other, pointing to my lap and saying *Uhejoilpth* (which I think meant UP, lol) I squeezed him, kissed him, breathed him and the overwhelming joy that life and living does not get any better than this! -

Enjoy your daughter and the time together. Glad you are feeling good.
How are your counts?
Linda: I'm taking the neuopogen shots and my white count was up this week but my platelet count went down 60 points. I go in Wednesday for blood test so I'll find out how white count/platelet is doing then. I took two weeks off of chemo to spend time with daughter. How are your counts and your chemo going?
