1st Chemo

So, today I had my first round of chemo. It was very strange to me to go into the office, feeling absolutely fine, knowing that they are pumping me with chemo that could make me feel horrible. So far, I feel like I just had 4 cups of coffee from the steroids they gave me, but no nausea or anything. I'll probably be up all night, but I have some good books to read (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...anyone like it??). So, the plan is still for me to see my OB on Tuesday to feel my cervix and check blood work and if all is well, to induce on Thursday, and if I feel well enough that next week to have another round of chemo the following Wednesday. I'm looking forward to having this baby and the joy that it brings with it - something to look forward to in the midst of all of this other than shrinking this softball in my chest. God has really blessed me with peace in these last couple of days - my mom is all nervous about the baby and I really haven't been anxious about that at all - I have peace that my doctors know what they are doing and that the baby will be just fine. So, thanks for all of your prayers for peace - they are working!!!! I slept last night without taking any meds to help me sleep, which was another big deal. Well, just thought I would give a quick update - thanks again for all of the prayers and thoughts and notes of encouragement. Much love, Kara
