In re: HAIR
In 1987-88 my mom went thru surgery, chemo, radiation--& baldness. Hair came in salt&pepper (more salt) & a standup ripple like Elsa Lanchester in "Bride of Frankenstein". As a baby/toddler she was "tow-headed"(almost white-blonde). About 6wks. before she died she was in her bathroom at home & I heard her cry out. Terrified, I ran in & she was leaning on the counter next to the sink shaking with laughter. Around the base of that almost-6-inch salt&pepper ripple were soft, golden curls!!! Life is still full of surprises. Lucky Jeremiah, a mom full of surprises & noticing all of them. What a good start. I send him a Granny-Tanny hug. I know it's an awful job, but please do it for me.
BTW, in the Faulk family, large & loving, the saying was, "That child's not gonna learn to walk until he/she's 5 or 6." Everyone wanting to hold & carry him/her around. Tw

Wow! You are doing so well, Michelle. Just don't get carried away, although I think you are well-versed in the pattern of after-effects. Little J will still be there to show off when you aren't on the sleepy meds, so just go with what feels right on the day.

However, I suspect that the "Proud Mummy Mode" has properly kicked in now, and may override what you know are going to be temporary (if nasty) side effects of medication! I BET you get to your craft fair!

Whew. Long day. I did go to the craft fair however I only walked around half of it. It's not that big (only 1 square block) but it was HOT and crowded which meant lots of standing still in one spot....not good for me today as it makes my leg bones hurt even more than when I'm walking about. Soooo....I did half and am content with that. Jeremiah got to meet some new friends but overall I kept his stroller tops up...the sun was just too strong and he cries when it's in his eyes...who can blame him?
I have attended this particular craft fair for YEARS and every year they have a tie-dye stand full of t-shirts, skirts, and stuff. My husband LOVES that kind of thing and while he and I have our own tie dye stuff, Jeremiah does not...at least until now! I got him a little purple and teal tie-dyed onesie....*GRIN* I'll get some photos of him in it up sometime soon. He's just too cute.

Ok. So. I started pain meds this evening. Pete is home all weekend so he will help...of course he will! A local music shop is having a trade in weekend....thinking about getting rid of my guitar (never has fit me right...I need a more narrow fret board), electric violin (what was I thinking?) and mandolin (never play it) for a small Baby Taylor which I have fussed around with before and that fits me well. We'll see. I'm running low on energy and almost would just like to stay home for the next month or so.

They say don't make any big decisions immediately following a big medical procedure. It sounds like a good musical exchange - because, of course, if the instrument you get is one you'll actually play, you'll be happy. But still, will that wait a week or two? Once you have it, but even before then, you have a new and appreciative (and captive. . . ) audience for your playing and singing. :)

When you're to the point where you are free of those aches and pains, have you seen those baby tummy packs? I loved them with my children. Admittedly, hot weather will make you both sweat, but if you can use it around the house or in malls, etc., those tummy packs mean you have perfect eye contact with that little one and he can hear your heart beat if he lays his head down on your chest to sleep while you walk. And you can lean over a little and kiss the top of his head and get that baby smell you'll know for the rest of your life.

Ahhhhhhhhhh.   A day at home. Lots of playtime with my son. Assembling the pack and play (OMGosh....this thing is RIDICULOUS and wonderful all at once!) with Pete. Jeremiah loves his new play space!

My bones are hurting....what else is new? I've put off taking the pain meds as I wanted to enjoy the day with my family but now it's getting late and I really am needing them. Pete is making pizza from scratch, Jeremiah is dry, fed and snoozing away....so it's time.

I decided you guys are right....I'm not going to rush around with the baby nor am I going to sell any instruments right now...I don't care if it happens today or in a few months.

Being home with my family makes my heart happy beyond words.

I ordered a onsie for Jeremiah's first Relay for Life (coming up next month)....it has a blue teal ribbon and says, "I wear teal for my mommy."

Hello Friends,

    In just a few short weeks, the actual date being July 9th and 10th, I am going to be walking in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. I am looking for donations or people to sponsor me for this amazing event! My goal is to raise $500.00 for my team, The Angel Walkers. I am not one to ask for donations and I hesitate to ask any of you here because you have ALL been so incredibly supportive of me in more ways than I can count.....BUT.....the money raised for The Relay For Life is something I have also benefited from (transportation reimbursement for my many trips downstate for treatment, wigs, counseling, support groups, help to find my way through the medical maze) and I know how it important it has been for me. The money is raised for the things I've mentioned but also for education and research for ALL cancers. I think that's an important point to make as we all know and love people who have had cancer that isn't breast or colon (although reasearch for those is very important too...just saying they aren't THE ONLY cancers out there). Would you please consider helping me to meet my goal?
    I am working on getting a site set up with the Relay For Life so donations can be made with a credit card for those who prefer to do things that way. In the meantime, if you would like to help, you can send me a check (PM me for my mailing address please) made out to The American Cancer Society. They will send you an acknowledgement and receipt for tax purposes. Every bit helps. EVERY SINGLE CENT.
    Thanks for giving it some thought! Commercial over. For now. *GRIN*

Love to you all,

Michelle

Michelle, try to get PayPal in there and you'll get even more folks donating, is my guess. I can donate either way.

Early July is pretty close, so PLEASE PROMISE us that you'll take every precaution to stay hydrated, rest when you need to, and sit out the end if you have to. Okay? No donations are going away if this event is too soon after you finished chemo to do the whole thing. We'd rather have you stay healthy than finish the race and make yourself feel bad again.

Okay. Soapbox off. :)

This is certainly going to be a year you won't quickly forget.

Up early with a playful Jeremiah. *yawn*

About the Relay. I am going to take it easy, I promise. I am going to walk at the opening ceremony for the survivor lap and then for the first half hour of the event.....right around 10:00am. Then at 4:00am I am scheduled to walk another 30 minutes.....everything is at my own pace, of course. I am on a team so there are plenty of people to keep walking during the 24 hour event. Pete and I are taking a tent and I plan to be there for the full 24 hours. My mom will be there for part of the event too as will Jeremiah. I'm not planning on having him there for the full 24 hours....his nana will be more than happy to have him for the night. Also, if it's too hot, I will walk when I'm supposed to and go to Mom's house for the in-between times....guess I'll just have to play it by ear. I'm really excited about the relay though....I have a shirt just for this event and I'm going to wear my viking helmet draped with a teal boa for the survivor lap! Since it's a local event, I know lots of the people participating and that will make it fun too. There is an open invitation at our team camp site for people to just come hang out and visit for as long as they want. It's all about supporting one another and helping to raise money for local assistance and research. :)

I'm hoping today is the end of the bone pain and that maybe Jeremiah and Mommy can take a snooze a little later on. The little stinkpot thinks play time is around midnight and then again at 4:30am or so. He's all bright eyed and smiley...cooing away...can't possibly be upset with him but I AM tired!!!!   Happy and tired. :)

Thanks for your donations.....WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!

Susan,

    As far as I know, that's fine. Our team captain was going to ask about it at the last meeting just to be sure...don't know why it wouldn't be. If you are leaving it there for the duration and others would be permitted to use it, I'd like to request it for the Survivor's Lap (first thing) for my friend Tracy....she is currently undergoing all kinds of physcial and occupational therapy but a lap around the track would just be too much for her.

Cool beans! I love when things work out!

Love,

Michelle, a feeding tip: Kids form habits, so if Jeremiah expects to be fed at midnight and 4am, he'll wake at midnight and 4am. But if he gets a bottle of water at midnight or 4 am (you might want to take out one of those feedings at a time, not both), then he'll stop waking up wanting it after a few attempts because water just isn't as exciting to wake up for! Check with one of the nursing books (La Leche League has some good ones) to see what the number of feedings at any given age are recommended. He may be a little young yet to go all night without, but you might manage to do a feeding at bedtime, then one very early, and then the regular daytime feedings.

I'll go into the web site and see about making a donation.

Another hot tip to address babies who flip their schedules, mixing up night and day-- turn down (around 9PM), and then OFF (at 10), all the lights in the house. Keep any night-time babytending very, very dim, quiet, lowkey. Give attention, but not playtime. Their brains figger it out from there if we do not over-stimulate them with light, noise, and facial responsiveness. You act sleepy, they get the idea before too long.

Regarding Jeremiah.

He sleeps quite a bit and we are on somewhat of a schedule now...needs to be tweaked a little bit but really, I think he does very well.

In the evening he falls asleep around 9:00 or so and then wakes up anywhere between 11:00 and midnight for a diaper change and feeding. Then he is AWAKE. Bright eyes, cooing, smiling. He plays for maybe 30 minutes to an hour (despite mommy not playing...he's totally interested in his hands)and then drops off to sleep for the night. Up for a diaper change and feeding between 3:30 and 4:30....drops back to sleep until 5:00-5:30 at which point he is UP and wants active play. We play with him and then he goes back to sleep which really works out fine with us. That gives me time in the morning to do morning household chores, make breakfast, pack Pete's lunch and some quiet time with Pete (breakfast conversations are always the best time of day here). Jeremiah is back up at 9:00ish and we begin our day.
   
I'm sure he will sleep through the night soon enough. Right now, I'll settle for 5 hours of sleep at once. :)

A tip is just a tip-- sometimes, to save for later.

You will find, though, that just about as soon as you get used a particular schedule-- his growth will change it. A large part of parenting is the mental gymnastics to keep up with the inevitable changes. We're usually just a tad behind their curve! :~) One of the lovely things about children, especially babies-- they really do wake up each day practically a new person.

My younger brother had a great paradigm for this with his infant son. He explained to me that Nick had recently arrived from a different planet than the rest of us, and that his job as Dad was to respect that Nick had his own way as well as to show him, "But this is how we Earth people do things, and you'll want to know our ways, too." He saw his role (partly) as being the ambassador between Nick and the new world he was growing into.

I did a lot this mornig while Jeremiah napped but then I lost my oomph. Met my Mom and Grandma for some iced tea and then hit the grocery store where I spent half an hour making photo prints for friends and family. Grocery shopping on top of that....Mama figured out how to use the car carrier in the shopping cart seat so baby doesn't have to touch the icky store cart. *all proud of myself* Jeremiah behaved himself very well. Mommy is tired and cranky...pulled something in my belly near my incision. ARG. Too much hoisting the baby in his car seat I'm afraid. No more for the next few days....ok, well...visiting some friends but really...it's all home time from now on for a bit. Chemo is whooping my butt energy wise...I NEED to slow down.

Dinner is done, chores for the day are done and my Relay site is up and running...YAY.

Night all.

Today we had our 2nd homestudy. The first one happened last year, long before Jeremiah was even born. Our house is in great shape so I wasn't worried about THAT part. I was, however, worried about sharing what has been going on with my health for the past 7 months. I didn't know if people who had so recently gone through chemotherapy would be allowed to adopt a child. I researched it and found that some agencies require that you have to be cancer free for a year...some countries require a 5 year cancer free report from the doctor. I called the American Cancer Society to discuss the situation. They felt things would be fine but gave me 2 legal advocate offices should the need arise. I called my ob/gyn oncologist and my chemo oncologist who both wrote me letters stating that I had a hysterectoy, underwent rigorous chemotherapy without

sorry..hit the submit by mistake...anyway, both doctors wrote letters stating that I had a complete hysterectomy, underwent a rigorous series of chemotherapy with no lasting side effects and there is no sign of disease. HOORAY!!! The real test for today was talking to our worker. She arrived and we discussed Jeremiah, the things he likes, what he's eating, his health, etc and then she said that everything looked good and was glad that everything was going smoothly. That's when we told her about the cancer (I was wearing my wig). She was GREAT about it and thanked us for being honest with her. She asked me if I was worried that she would take the baby and I told her that I have been concerned about it. She said there was no way she was going to take the baby away from us and that she felt we were doing an excellent job!!! I am SOOO relieved! I was SO afraid that she might take Jeremiah. It's been weighing on my mind heavily because it wouldn't just affect Jeremiah and myself but also my husband (and Mom too) who is absolutely in love with this sweet little boy.
    :) It's been a good day. Thank God for answered prayers.

To be honest, I have only a few photos of Jeremiah and Mommy. I don't like how I look....definitely NOT like a mommy. I still look like the creepy albino guy in the B rated horror flicks.....everybody is afraid of him but really, he's a gentle soul that is just misunderstood.

I know Jeremiah doesn't care. He's never seen me any other way except bald...although lately Pete has taken to calling me Sprout because I do have LOTS of little white (or very, very blonde) hair coming in!

I do think my bald head causes lots of people to stare, especially in this small town community. Now I have a baby that looks different from me and that creates a stir too. I'm getting quite used to it!

So...ok...let me see if I have a picture to add to Jeremiah's website: www.jeremiahthomaslawrence.shutterfly.com

Whoo Hooo! I have been kind of out of circulation, but it dawned on me that I hadn't sent my donation for the

Angel Walkers team for Michelle Lawrence.

So I did, and guess what?

She is over the top on her goal!!
