I DID IT!

YAY!!! I officially did it all by myself! This morning was my very first injection, I prepared everything just like I was taught and woke up an hour early (not by alarm) thinking I was already late...I feel back asleep until 7 when my hubby called and woke me up for the big day. My very first injection took place on the bathroom floor of the Biltmore Hotel (don't worry, I laid a towel down for hygenic purposes). As I cleaned the medicine bottle and my leg I started to feel a little nauseous, partly from the smell of the alchohol and partly from my own fears. Everything was ready but as soon as the needle touched my skin I hesitated with fear....luckily I had my husband watching through Skype, and as corney as this sounds, he said "You can do it Soph, do it for Baby Franco, just do it for Baby Franco" so I did, I stabbed myself (I know it sounds a little dramatic but that's what it felt like I was doing) and injected the medication. It really didn't even hurt, but my heart was racing. I have one more day of doing the injection on my own and they my hubby can do it, thank you God! I don't think it will be so bad when he does it to me.

All day today I was waiting for the side effects to kick in, apart from being lulled to sleep by all the convention speakers, I feel fine. I don't know if I can blame that on the medicine or my lack of attention span. The nurse said the major side effect is PMS times 10. Yay, can't wait for that to kick in, I'm sure my emotions will really start to rollercoaster. Luckily my husband is ready for it...lol.

Night Night, so sleepy.
