Growing

It's amazing now that I'm actually showing. I'm getting bigger every week and everyone's starting to notice...including me! I put on my favorite comfy clothes today, and my belly is hanging out even more. Even some of my maternity clothes I bought are starting to get a little tighter. I feel movement every day now and Bean's expecially feisty when we're discussing something heated...perhaps it's my endorphins :O)

My mood lately has been better than it has in a really long time. The funny thing is that I started this blog as a way to chronicle my journey through pregnancy and motherhood as a cancer survivor. I thought that the turmoil that I went through during that last year would have more of an effect on me, but it's almost as if it's just a fleeting thing. I hardly ever think about my status of a cancer survivor. Yes, sometimes I still find myself running my fingers along my neck and colar bones, making sure I don't feel any weird lumps...but that's just the same as a normal woman doing a monthly breast check for lumps. It's funny, because I'm actually looking forward to going to see my oncologist, because I know that everyone there will be excited at our miracle.

I want to be an inspiration to other young men and women so they know it's still possible. Maybe conceiving a child isn't going to be possible for one reason or another, but it is possible to have a normal life after cancer. It is possible...
