Spring Break Day 2

-
This is how out of it I have been. I realized yesterday that my watch was still set on Korean time. And I've been wearing my watch. Every day. And thinking that I was using it.

Today we went to a new shopping center that recently opened. I finally got Camden an Easter outfit (it coordinates with Rory's) and we just browsed. Camden was finally able to fly his new kite - he's been begging to do it every day!

Camden is having some adjustment issues. He is just over the top loud and obnoxious competing for attention. We've tried talking to him, telling him that we love him just like we love Rory. He's having potty accidents (two days in a row now), doing lots of babyish things, disobeying, etc. I sure hope this doesn't last long!!

Rory had a pretty good day. I made chocolate chip cookies and she had her first one last night. They were a big hit! She's clearly feeling more comfortable with us. When I have to tell her "no" about something, instead of sobbing into my shoulder, she either ignores me or shakes her head "no" to me and takes off running away from me. She's going to be a stinker!

I'm just getting around to posting pictures from our arrival to Nashville! Thanks again to Angie for taking pictures for us. It's so nice to have them, and it was so nice to not have to worry about it.
A very tired girl!
Meeting Camden for the first time.
Meeting friends!
The center of attention
Hugs from my mom
I can't remember what she was upset about.

Getting ready for the ride home - first time in a carseat!

Just wanted to let you know that the issues with Camden are normal. That is how the youngest sibling always acted when we brought a new baby home. Just remember that "this too shall pass"! He will soon realize that you still love him just like before. I'm so glad that Rory is getting more comfortable with you guys. I am sure the kiss she gave Brian the other night just melted his heart. Sounds like things are going good!!

My boys acted out like that when we came home, too. It didn't last too terribly long.

Great pictures ~ you have a gorgeous family!

That is how Asher acted when we introduced him to Violet, in fact in the hospital he tried to sit on her and shove her off my lap! It took a while for him to act like himself again and now they are inseperable and the best of friends!

I love your carrier! I make something similar that is called the Mei Tai and it is so comfortable to wear, that must be so great to have while she is so attached to you.

Loved seeing the photos, hope all is going well with you guys.

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
