Most notably, my daughter Julia was born. She came January 17 at 9:45 pm and weighed 6 pounds. Luckily, my last chemo treatment was two weeks before, so I was on the up-swing, so to speak.
Now I'm doing radiation treatments. I have to go every day (except weekends) for six weeks. It's not difficult, just eats up a lot of your day.
Adjusting to the lil' one has also been interesting. I'm glad my chemo was done before she came because I don't think I could have done the middle of the night feedings otherwise!
Thankfully, Julia seems to be completely healthy and even though she came a month early, she's doing great! I was worried about the effect everything would have on her, but the pediatrician said she's perfect. What a relief!
I'm starting to get used to the whole parent thing, but it's definitely weird. I'm also excited to be done treatments. I've been able to start practicing a little again and it's awesome. I've missed being able to train.
Hopefully soon I'll be able to come back to classes! You better all watch out when I do! Got a few months of pent-up Kung-Fu to vent!
