This is me with tiny little baby Noah River, he came into the world about the same time that I was dealing with my cancer diganosis, we'll always share a special bond now :). Isn't he just beautiful? Isn't God so good! He is the 5th child of one of my very best friends, Laura (go team Wilkenson!!!). I was planning on starting foster care again this fall/ winter and caring for infants but now I have to focus on this sticky little illness that I have in my path. I have met, and heard of more than a handful of women who were diganosed while they were pregnant, I could not even imagine caring for a newborn and dealing with cancer at the same time!! I am thankful that my youngest will be six in a few short months and I can get a little rest while he soaks up some PBS on T.V. Today was a good day for me! 5 days post my first chemo, the only painful issue I have is this painful knife like activiy in my brain. Other than that, I feel pretty much back to normal. My chidren and I are heading out for some early a.m clearance shopping tommorow, so we are off to bed! We all hope you had a wonderful Christmas Day! :) Blessings! :) Shanda
