Productive at work and nice wander out at lunch but then tonight I am knackered and suffering lots of muscular pain.
Been like this for most evenings this week. Not sure if it's because life is busy with baby or what but aches and pains a killer this time. Hoping this subsides later this week so I feel better soon.
Other news is baby Lily is doing well. She is so good. Clare taking the brunt so I can rest in evenings so we are both knackered...no fun.

Half Time Results
Cutting to the chase my scan results are good. My consultant has not looked at detail but all swollen lymph nodes, including the worrisome one deep inside are down nicely. He seemed pretty happy...so am I to say the least!
More detail in next appointment in 3 weeks. Also small lumps I found on my back a while back - that I have been keeping quiet about on blog - are very likely lypomas (spelling?) - harmless fatty tissue most of us have. Amazing how paranoid you get about your body going through something like this. Doc says they did not show up on CT scan plus ultra sound results good.
Other bonus is no planned Bone marrow check at the end. He will do another scan at end before I go on maintenance therapy at end of chemo.
So 5 down and 3 to go.
Very bizarre being in the hospital for chemo with Clare and my new born baby. All the nurses were coo'ing over her while all I could think about was how do I get my blood test done!
So far a little tired but hard to judge as we have baby Lily to look after although clare is doing most of the hard work through the night.
She is a good wee baby all round and the kids love her. Clares mum heads home to Scotland on Saturday so we are on our own from then. Her help has been invaluable this past few weeks.

Dad Again
Little Lily was born on Saturday at 1am. She is 8 pounds 6 and a little sweetie. Clare was amazing.
Clare went in as planned to be induced on Saturday but as it happened the early stages of labour were starting so luckily no need for much help to bring the baby on. I arrived at the hospital at midnight after a call from clare to say it was all happening and baby was born just after 1am. A very fast labour...thank god for that as a I am not sure now I would have managed a long one with my fatigue.
Clare and lily got home next day so now we are settling in to baby world again. The kids love her and so far she has been pretty good although she was awake a lot last night. Clare is taking the brunt to let me sleep. She really is awesome. Her mum is still here as well which is a great help, cutting down othe chores and entertaining the kids a bit.
Had my scan on Tuesday so less than 36 Hrs to wait for results. I so hope I have good news.

No baby yet
No arrival of baby yet. Due date is actually mid month but Clare was early with Connor and Neve so expected the same.
Clares mum is here and has been a good help to us both. It's the last week of the school holidays as well.
I managed to work all week as usual despite some really nasty back ache mid week. Right now not feeling too bad at all, just tired from a busy day out with the kids.
Scan on Tuesday and results when I go in for next treatment on 13th.
