Mamaw has chosen to try chemo. She had her first round Thursday. She will recieve a round every three weeks. We have been told the side effects will not show themselves until a few days after the treatment. She is still unable to eat anything and is recieving all her nutrition IV. We believe she will be able to come home soon, but has an infection we just found out about and we are unsure if this is going to affect her being able to come home, because she needs antibiotics. We hope she will be able to come home at the first of the week, I know she is ready to. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers please.
ADOPTION:
Today is one of those days where I was ready for a baby yesterday! On days like this, it's all I can think about. I get so excited about all the possibilites out there. I get excited about not having any idea what our baby will look like or who the amazing people are that will choose us to parent it.
We asked for baby stuff for Chirstmas and our parents were amazing and got us our crib bedding and a glider to help us get started. I am excited to begin decorating the nursery soon and to take my time doing so. I debated on if I wanted to wait to see what gender we will have or to choose gender neutral. I started looking at gender neutral stuff and found one I loved, so that made my decision easy (picture below). And besides I can spend months during our wait entertaining myself by decorating a nursery. I plan on trying to paint a mural... no I'm not crafty but I want to try and see how it goes.
I worry about the downs we will face along our journey. I worry about the failed placements and heart breaks we will experience, but I know that those situations are just not "our" baby, and we only want "our" baby not someone elses. I worry about how we will handle the wait. I think I will be able handle it really well but then I'm sure I will start struggling at some point and have my days of being impatient.
sorry the pics are real blurry!!!
