10, 9, 8.....

Wowsers - 30 weeks along here, which means 10 to go (maybe a little less - aaack)! It's definitely time to buckle down and get things ready for the bubs!

Luckily Mr. C. has a fair bit of time off over Christmas - looks like it will be a working holiday for him with me largely in the role of director!

Of course my belly is growing every larger and the kicks are getting stronger and more frequent - all good things. I am finding myself out of breath very easily and often, but am assured this is quite normal. Luckily we have not had very many hot days yet this summer, which is lovely for us as it feels a bit more like Christmas time. Only a few days of swollen feet so far, with more to come I'm sure!

Cloe is traveling along fairly well, her elbows and leg are still a bit raw as she won't leave them alone to heal, but the infection is totally gone and she is in good spirits. Her lymph nodes on her neck are swollen - we are hoping this is just due to the cut back in steroid dose during her antibiotics, but it could also be a sign of the return of the lymphoma for good. At least we have her with us through the holidays, which is good for all of us. We've put her back on the original dose of steroids and are just waiting to see what happens in the next year.

Happy Holidays to everyone - I hope you have a lovely, peaceful time full of good cheer!
