hangin' in there

I've made it to Friday - woo hoo!

I was apparently wiped out post-chemo this time. I got home around 4:30 and didn't feel too bad but sleepiness came on fast; I went to bed at 8:30 Wednesday night! Awoke for a bathroom break around 2:45 and couldn't get back to sleep. Jenny tells me this is due to the pre-chemo meds they give me - nice (NOT). So I heard the clock strike 3, then I heard the clock strike 4 .... and eventually headed downstairs. Took my morning meds and had a bowl of oatmeal while messing on the computer for a little bit. Got on the couch with a blanket by 5:30 and slept another two hours until Britt called me on her way to work. So all together I think I got the rest I needed.

The normal wooziness yesterday. Eating bits of whatever sounded good throughout the day. Went over to Champaign around 2 and met Jeremiah at Parkland to buy his last book needed for this semester. Then I got my Neulasta injection, we ran to Walmart for a couple of things and headed home. That's all the energy I have for the day after!

Yesterday was quite an exciting day though! Britt was texting me with updates all along ..... as Mallory was having her baby!! She was induced the night before and delivered a beautiful baby boy at 1:55 yesterday afternoon (Aug. 26th). He weighed 7 lbs. 14 oz. and was 19.5 inches long. Brittany got to be in there for the whole delivery and was truly blessed by witnessing a miracle! I was thrilled that she got to be there - what an experience! Baby boy Weedman doesn't have a name yet but Britt said he's just as cute as can be with his dark brown eyes and hair. She went back by the hospital last night after church and enjoyed holding him and talking with Mallory.

I've been invited on a boating weekend getaway, leaving tonight and coming home on Sunday. So this morning I shall pack a few things and fix some simple snacks to share. A little nervous about meeting several new people - but mostly looking forward to it and expect to have a great time. I promise I'll eat and drink well, wear plenty of sunscreen and get the rest I need (ok you worry warts?) LOL
