My body is finally feeling better, as the chemo is finally leaving my system. Peace out chemo, you did your job now move on outta here. It is the hardest thing I have gone through thus far....like in my entire life. I am thankful I responded so well and I cant wait to feel better each day. I shouldn't have too many side effects from radiation, maybe a sore throat and fatigue. I cannot imagine this is anything in comparison to chemo treatments, so bring it on.
I am up and running right before the UTES start playing!! YAY- cannot wait to go to the football games. Last year I was on bed rest and didn't make it to most of the games. Sitting on bleachers are bad enough and its even worse when you are contracting every three minutes and trying to do kegels so baby girl doesn't make an appearance while I'm eating my churro and foot long... (I mean mid game) ;)
Sad but True. Excited about that.....
I am also excited about the kids going back to school. Not a very fun summer with very few fun activities. The sun is a real beast while under the influence of chemo. The girls were such a big help and I could not have done it without them. Allie seriously was the mother this sumer. She made more bottles and changed more diapers than I. She made me lunches and made sure I was taken care of. What an angel and what an amazing mommy she will be.
Each day is truly a blessing and I am so thankful for all the love and support that you have all given us through this. I am a lucky woman to have such an amazing husband and outstanding daughters that make me so happy. They make me laugh and smile every day and I would be lost without them. I couldn't see an end in sight when I was diagnosed with this crummy disease. I have grown so much and realized how much I have to be thankful for. I love being a mother and it is the BEST think I have ever done and the best thing I will ever do. Even though I still need practice. It has made me get out of bed every day and battle through and fight harder than I ever thought I could have. I love my little girls and I am so thankful to be their mommy. Heavenly Father knows just what we need and exactly when we need it. Over the last five years I have been through some of the roughest times. I thought so many times that I couldn't keep going and I would almost give up. I needed to learn and grow and become something better. I wouldn't change any of this for the world. I trust in his plan now more than ever and he will not ever forsake any of us. I am happier than I ever have been and I have learned so much about life, love, trust, patience and so many other things. I know I am watched over every day and I have so much to fulfill in this life still. Cancer knocked me down but I am a fighter and I am gonna come back better than ever. I love life and it loves me right back! XOXO
