As none of you know her I will tell you as I am bursting to tell someone, anyone, everyone!
I don't know if I have mentioned it but my 29 year old daughter was diagnosed with cervical cancer just over a year ago, just a little cancererous area. They treated her and told her to have a baby/babies then a hysterectomy.
For the past year she has been trying to become pregnant but without success and was just about to commence tests to find out if there was a problem.
She 'phoned me the other day, at a time of the day which was unusual. I immediately said "What is wrong?". She said nothing was wrong but she was 'phoning to say that if I was thinking of going to her for Christmas it might not be a good idea as she might not be there. I thought the worse, the marriage of less than two years on the rocks, that she was thinking of leaving him!
I asked why, she replied that she might be in hospital, so again I panic and think of her cancer... but why would they wait until December?
Yes, you have guessed, she just might be in hospital having a baby! It is due on 19th December but who knows with first babies.
I am not supposed to tell anyone yet as it is obviously early days and the cancer treatment means she stands a higher than average chance of losing the baby. So fingers crossed, or as I said to her, cross your legs for the next seven months to keep it in!
