Moving Day

-
Well, it was supposed to be moving day anyway before our illegal alien buyers skipped the country. :) I'm actually quite glad we're not moving today! Brian is swamped with schoolwork and student teaching stuff plus his full-time job that moving would have been a crazy added stress right now. Speaking of stress, he didn't even get home until 2:00 last night! Monday night it was after 1:00! At least I got to be in bed, but Camden got up SIX times last night from 10:30-4:30. The last time ended in a temper tantrum, which I totally ignored! Monday night, he went to bed at 6:30 and slept all night long without waking up until 6:30 the next morning so I guess he's all caught up on sleep now! Getting up 6 times isn't my idea of a good night's sleep, though. One of these days, we've got to get control of these sleep issues because when his baby sister comes home, I'm sure she'll have sleep issues of her own, and I'm not sure I can manage two with sleep issues!

Camden and I watched American Idol last night (well, he got to stay up for part of it anyway). He's so funny because he'll ask, "mommy, if I be good, can I stay up early and watch American Idol?" The guys were much better this week, although I'm still not impressed with most of them.

Let's see. It's about time for an adoption update. Well, there isn't one! We're still waiting on our caseworker to finish up our homestudy so that it can be sent on to the big agency in Minnesota. They will then review it and then send it to Korea, and we'll be officially waiting. It's been 4 weeks since all our paperwork was complete, so I'm a getting a little antsy about our caseworker not having it done yet. The good news is that the waiting list for babies is very short right now so it looks like our wait might not be nearly as long as we thought. I'm still resisting buying any pink things, but I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out!

Here are two layouts from last night. The first one is a cute picture of Logan and Camden from last week. The second layout I think I've shared already. It's actually the second time I've worked on it because I accidentally deleted the first one from the computer before I had it printed and backed up on a CD.

The Scoop

Our meeting with Dr. W today was fine. Not encouraging, but fine. I don't know why I expected better news, but I think it's hard not to hope that the bad news you hear is somehow wrong; that they've somehow made a mistake. Basically, the cancer is still the same as prior to chemo. Possibly a little larger, but he said it was hard to tell. He was glad that it had not returned to my bowel or colon (because that was a large part of my initial surgery), and my chest and lungs are still clear (apparently, this is the next place the cancer would go). It does not change my stage of cancer (still 3c), and remission is still a possibility, but he said that it would be very tough to get there.  There are several more drugs that we can try, which is good, but unfortunately they each have a success rate of only 25%. It's a little too early to be considering clinical trials because hospitals who hold the trials like for the patients to have tried the more main-stream drugs firs

1. Thanks to Andrea for driving me to chemo today. I'm always a little anxious on the way in and the very few times I've had to drive myself, it's been a little lonely coming home. But not today. 2. A fellow chemo patient today thought I was in my 20's. Score.  ("score" would be a term I'm borrowing from Becky ) 3. I did not wear a scarf today to chemo, and all the nurses and doctors did a double take since they didn't recognize me. So wierd. I recognize me with hair, bald, and with a little puppy fluff. 4. Dr. W. is adding Avastin , a new drug which will help prevent cancer cells from growing, to my current Gemzar routine. Good news is that it won't make me feel any worse. Bad news is that in a small percentage of patients it causes severe side effects involving blood clots, kidney failure, ulcers, and holes in your bowel. Good times. 5. I've been instructed to head directly to my primary care doctor for blood pressure medic

Scenes from the Soccer Field

So I may not have apologized yesterday about the number of pictures, but I am definitely going to today. Because  coughcough thirty coughcough just might be excessive. And probably my family will be the only ones who look at all of them. But I don't care. :) By the way, we completely lost and did not even score a goal yet again. Rory tried really, really hard. This team was head and shoulders bigger than we are, way more coordinated than 4 year olds should be and their coach kept their A team in the entire game. Even after scoring some 15 goals. Oh, well. Rory still enjoyed herself. Which way is the goal again? Notice her position in this picture. Notice how she passed the girl next to her? No, I am not competitive at all. Not sure where the other team is. Oh, wait. There they are. See how much bigger they are? You'll notice she almost always runs with her mouth open. Either that or her tongue hang
