New Year, Not much else new

We had a great Christmas and New Year. Beckett got to spend time with two of his uncles which was great fun. Now he is having a good time enjoying all of his awesome new Christmas toys. He's doing great. We think we finally kicked the giardia (still waiting for final clearance from the public health nurse) and he is still handling chemo well. We still haven't completed an MRI but we got a referral to ENT and pulmonology to decide how best to proceed with anesthesia and we are continuing daily breathing treatments at home, which he HATES.

All is well with baby #2 also. According to ultrasound he now weighs 2 lbs, 9 oz which is more than Beckett weighed when he was born. He moves around A LOT, which I think is great. I can actually see my shirt moving. Since it is round about the time of pregnancy when Beckett was born (29 weeks) my doctor is increasing the monitoring to weekly NSTs and weekly Doppler checks of the uterine artery. I feel like I have learned so much about preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, inherited thrombophilia that I over analyze everything that happens. I spend a lot of time just waiting for things to go bad.

I am now on medical leave which has really helped with the stress. Worrying about Beckett, daycare, chemo and the new baby along with work was just exhausting me. I am so happy that my job is so flexible and my colleagues so supportive that we made it work. I sure do miss my students though!
