From the time I was diagnosed with ALL, my doctors told me I'd never be able to have children. That even with Fertility drugs, I had a very slim chance of being able to conceive or carry full term, because of the cancer and all the chemotherapy. Well in March of 2007 I celebrated 10 years CANCER FREE!!! Then in July of 2007, my boyfriend, Aaron and I found out that we were six weeks pregnant. My OB immediately started taking precautions and running tests to ensure the delivery of a healthy, full-term baby. My pregnancy was wonderful, no morning sickness, no bed rest, my only complaint was the water retention. I am very pleased to say that on March 12, 2008 our daughter, Natalie Mae Furister, was born into this world via emergency C-section. No need to worry, all the distress was on me, my cervix started to swell shut and I became very ill, requiring a C-section  Natalie was doing fine and had no complications. She was 8lbs11oz and 20" long. Natalie is a healthy, beautiful, very happy newborn. GOD works in mysterious and wonderful ways. I may not have understood why he decided I would be diagnosed with Cancer but he just blessed Aaron and I with the greatest gift imagineable. I wanted to share our good news. I will be sure to post pictures soon of our bundles of joy! (o:
