Mid-Summer Post

Ok, this blog update is criminally late (at least the Flickr photos are all up to date).  Since the last post everything has been going great and we’ve had a busy summer. 

First off we’re expecting a Baby Boy in Nov!  Melissa’s doing fine and is showing quite a bit these days.  He’s an active boy and so far loves nothing more then rolling around and kicking the belly.  He moved so much that during the ultra sound the nurse thought he had extra arms and fingers.  His appendage counts were normal and we’re confident that there aren’t twins, though as a Rothe boy the extra fingers could have come in handy.

Also all of our checkups have been going good.  For me a couple of moles removed but nothing out of the ordinary.  My six month appt with the oncologist went well.  I’ve gained back all my weight and have long ago lost all the side effects from the Interferon.  I still have some swelling in my ankle from the lymphedema but haven’t had too many problems with it.  I still wear my prescription compression socks from time to time and the lymphatic massage helps quite a bit.
