Today has been my worst day yet. After a week of feeling almost 100% better, my nausea is back with a vengeance. I've had maybe an hour total reprieve.

![]() I hope you got nausea today! I am feeling relatively good right now myself but I know if I were to get up and move around I would feel awful again FAST. I think this baby thinks all my energy is for them. ![]() Quote:
![]() AFM - Today is a day of waiting around for a small box with 3 vials of PIO in it. I have to sign for it and so I need to be in the house so I can get it when it comes. It probably will not be here till about 6 with my luck. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: July 2013 Weekly Chat: Dec. 10-16
Gosh, Jennifer... I can't imagine still dealing with a port... That stinks... I remember having to get it flushed, too... the smell/taste of the saline... just thinking about it makes me want to barf because I associate that with the beginning of a chemo treatment and how crappy it made me feel
![]() When do you anticipate having the port removed? I had mine taken out after I was in the clear and done with all chemo and radiations.

I asked my doctor if I could have it removed this month if I didn't get pregnant. I really didn't think the odds were on my side for me to get pregnant and honestly I am shocked that I am here now. ![]() I have decided to turn it into part of my birth plan now though. I figure if I can keep it through the pregnancy, when I go in for my c-section I can have them access it and use that as my IV and such. With any luck they can put my blood pressure cuff on the same side and I can have an arm free to do the birth that I want (delayed cord clamping, I see the baby before the NICU team does that sort of thing). I will get it taken out after the baby is born as I will be 3 years out then and feel pretty good about being in remission (not that I am not now, but I figure that will be even better). In the meanwhile I have a feeling that my oncologist will use the fact that I need to get it flushed, to get blood work done between appointments. She cleared me to do the transfer. So I am doing everything in front of her, and she had a PET scan of me in October, but as she says "she owns me" and it is her job to make sure Larry is staying at bay. I will probably be seeing her every 3 months during this pregnancy and I hope to have a PET scan before I leave the hospital with the c-section, for her. The port flushes don't bother me. I go first thing in the morning (typically leave the house around 6:30 or earlier) and get in and out fairly quickly. I guess because for me I have been doing it for the last 2 years so it is just one of those things. It is strange to be in the building across the street from where my daughter died (strangely I had my chemo and cancer treatments in that building, I give birth on the other side of town) and it is going to be WAY strange to go there when I have a unmistakable belly, but sometimes that happens. As long as I don't get the "oh poor you" look from the elderly I will be fine. I am sure the nurses back in the chemo rooms will be glad to see this come full circle as my son was 15 months old when I was diagnosed and here I am. ![]()

Wow... you've been through sooo much! You are such a strong woman. I am totally awed by you and so very happy you DID get pregnant when you did and now we have met. I get why you didn't remove the port right away. That makes total sense. It actually WILL be handy to have with the c-section for sure

Re: July 2013 Weekly Chat: Dec. 10-16
Thank you!
So what is everyone up to today? My mom sent me a message last night telling me she didn't think that the ice cream cone baby cocoon looked like it would work for a boy (posted link in link thread). I think it would if I used Vanilla and Chocolate ice cream. ![]() ![]() ![]() So what about you?

I spent about 30 minutes last night trying to research what carseat will rear face comfortably in a Prius lol
I have my first official appt this afternoon! I'm pretty sure we get to see the baby again and I'll get my peri appointment made. I'm 8 weeks 3 days and with DD they found her using a Doppler this early so I kinda hope they try! ![]() Right now I'm waiting for DD to unlatch so I can wiggle away to shower... And perhaps puke ![]()

Re: July 2013 Weekly Chat: Dec. 10-16
I have a friend that has a prius. If you wait till after the first of the year I can ask her what she used. Her son is about 1.5 years old. I am lucky that I don't have to worry about fitting in a carseat. I have an Odyssey. I could fit a Radian in there if I wanted to go that route (which I don't). I am debating on the getting an infant seat that will be good, in hopes that by the time the baby is bigger, we can get a rear facing to 50 lbs seat. Yeah I like to dream.
![]() Good luck with your appointment today!

Thanks! We obviously aren't in any hurry lol I think the britax roundabout 55 seems to be the best fit but whatever we get I'd like to try out first.
